When I watched the videos, I did get a similar feeling of concern. And Robert Wright's answers can be read as neo-social-darwinist. But note the "can be read"... I am not sure if he is actually darwinist; reading his book right after reading Guns, Germs and Steel may lead to a completely different perspective. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
