It is so refreshing that Molyneux seems to have recovered some of his intellectual curiosity after the late electoral acrimony.
In my hobby of investigating martial cultures, the point made by the author at 13-14 minutes is overwhelmingly apparent, that the effective generation of a reliable, human killing machine is very difficult and results in such bizarre systems of military indoctrination as the Spartan agoge, the code of chivalry and Aztec cannibalism.
Ethnic cleansing was a Leftist initiative in Industrial America?
My, things have not changed much in that regard!
It is fascinating, that even as these two intellectuals discuss human biology in the shadow of the monolithic lie that binds us, that they extol the social atomization and cultural negation that buoys the Left, with Molyneux having an obvious religious reverence for intelligence as the God attribute.
The discussion of aggression is interesting in that the author does entertain tribal breaks on violence, with his merit versus kinship and his escape from tribalism hypothesis fascinating.
The entire discussion of aggression is undermined by that fact that it is based on false reporting, with current violence in Baltimore skyrocketing on the street but mildly reduced on paper. This can be fathomed when one considers that the obscuring agent—the State—has assumed the rule of aggressor on the part of the collective. The answer, obviously, to the development of a society without criminal violence, is the development of a hyper-aggressive State. And so the psychedelic rabbit wheel of human cyclic aggression turns.
