"There has to be innate circuitry that does the learning, that creates the culture, that acquires the culture, and that responds to socialization."
Culture
"The main reason that violence correlates with low socioeconomic status today is that the elites and the middle class pursue justice with the legal system while the lower classes resort to what scholars of violence call "self-help."
Society
"Though knowledge itself increasingly ignores boundaries between fields, professors are apt to organize their pedagogy around the methods and history of their academic subculture rather than some coherent topic in the world."
Education
"Some people think that evolutionary psychology claims to have discovered that human nature is selfish and wicked. But they are flattering the researchers and anyone who would claim to have discovered the opposite. No one needs a scientist to measure whether humans are prone to knavery. The question has been answered in the history books, the newspapers, the ethnographic record, and the letters to Ann Landers. But people treat it like an open question, as if someday science might discover that it's all a bad dream and we will wake up to find that it is human nature to love one another."
Psychology
"We enjoy the peace we find today because people in past generations were appalled by the violence in their time and worked to reduce it, and so we should work to reduce the violence that remains in our time."
Society
"Personality and socialization aren't the same thing."
Personality
"Organisms are selected to deploy violence only in circumstances where the expected benefits outweigh the expected costs."
Ethics
"A sense of solidarity among fifteen-to-thirty-year-olds would be a menace to civilized society even in the best of times."
Sociology
"But in most cases even the possibility that the correlations reflect shared genes is taboo."
