I keep wanna calling you weiner because I keep misreading your name.

I don't think that its too simplistic at all. Human Nature is based and built around violence. Our greatest accelerations forward have come during periods of great violence. Whether its instinctive for us to cull the weak and take what we posses, even the most pacifistic of men can either be moved to violence, or cause violence directly or indirectly. I don't buy that its something that will no longer happen and that humanity will become more cooperative as time passes. As we move further into the crisis states caused by the economy, declining food stocks, declining resources, man will devolve to what he knows best, and thats to take from and exploit the weak. And whether its direct physical acts of violence or non physical acts of violence propagated by the threat of violence, its going to happen.

And yes Nature insists on dominance and is built around a system based on the strong surviving. Even cooperative actions are usually parasitic in nature.

And humanity being non violent is the exception over our time line, at our best we're killer angels with a sword in one hand, and the other hand reaching out to help.
