there's lot of discussion about modern warfare being waged digitally, or otherwise simulated. though i think the modern new fascist movements have adequately utilized those means. they just also happen to be para-military LARPers as well.
and i most certainly don't see a shortage a charismatic women taking the charge in these movements. i mention this only to push back against any idea of "hard wired" which i reject on principle. "natural" machines as complex as "micro-societies banding together under charismatic males" is too complex for me to believe it is not a sociological construct.
- brnt 5y ago> sociological construct Given the length of human child raising, I don't see why you would exclude this from 'hard wiring'. Things don't have to be encoded into DNA to have an increadibily high probability of inheritance.
- LesZedCB 5y agoi'm not sure i follow. human child raising can be done by any number of parents of any gender for varied lengths of time.
- brnt 5y agoI mean that we raise our offspring for between one and two decades. Such a period is guaranteed to ingrain bits of culture, making it hard or impossible to distinguish from natural inheritance.
- ineedasername 5y agoor otherwise simulated I read a sci-fi book where simulations had advanced to the point where no one bothered to wage war anymore because the simulations we're so good that everyone knew who the winner would be. Of course that presupposes rationality.
