Social evolution is a resultant of the interaction of two wholly distinct factors: the individual ... bearing all the power of initiative and origination in his hands; and, second, the social environment with its power of adopting or rejecting both him and his gifts.

That Monday after we lost to Washington, that's when everything hit the fan.

Once we accept violence as an adaptation, it makes sense that its expression is calibrated to the environment.

Paul Bloom
