If you believe the brain is part of the body, and that the body evolved, you believe _some_ part of evolutionary psychology. It's not handwaving.
That part of the article suggests that societal unrest creates say, fascist leaders, and not the other way around.
- _qulr 6y ago> No I didn't. Yes, you did, because you seem to continue to think that I was arguing against the article, when in fact I was merely arguing against the comment by amadeuspagel that I replied to. amadeuspagel was arguing against the article, claiming that these thought patterns shouldn't necessarily be considered "flaws", because they're the product of evolution. I dispute that, because non-human thinking, which we all consider to be inferior, is also a product of evolution. That's what I meant by handwaving. I do believe that humans are smarter, but I also believe that human thinking is very far from perfect, still heavily flawed. As are all products of evolution.
