READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO BE INFORMED INTELLIGENTLY ABOUT E.O. WILSON.

http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0101/articles/bethell.html

--

E. O. WILSON is an insect scientist who has twisted and over interpreted
darwinism because he is an apologist for the racist, colonialist,
imperialist, capitalist free market mindset.

But then there are those people who like us to believe that war and
aggression as it relates to human beings are simple facts of nature like the
motions of the heart or the body's need for food.

Of course they are usually the same people who live in social classes or
societies that benefit from class or colonial oppression or war and
imperialism so they like to have these things dressed up as natural
phenomena. This is a highly intellectualised form of immorality which
justifies organised exploitation and murder upon which, like extreme
cannibals they have come to depend on for their subsistence. It is a kind of
psychopathy.

A plague on all genetic determinists and their sycophants.

BioSocialism is a lot more interesting than "sociobiology".

Steven Rose is a biologist worth reading on the relationship between genes
and behavior.

Hello all,

In Hardt & Negri's new book *Multitude* they speak of an "ontology of
war"; the argument being war is no longer contingent on other factors
e.g. politics etc but has acquired an ontological status.

I wondered if people on this list have a view on this, and the ontology
of war generally.
