Indeed, if you are pragmatic and want actual, certain results, violence and force are the surefire methods.
That is why the GP put the "evolved" in quotes. It takes something more than the basest human instincts and the animal sides of us to take this approach. Some may consider it naive. I personally think Gandhi was smart enough to deduce this on his own yet still chose the nonviolent approach regardless. That alone shows he was a greater "man" than most, in my opinion.

- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoYou're using different meaning for the word violence (even easier to see since he said "violence and force").
