Call it anyway you want, lizard brain, flyers (Castaneda), Yaldabaoth (agnostics), this force that pushes evolution on earth at great speed through predatorial behavior like competition and flight or fight. We humans are the most intelligent species and still can't overcome it, as a civilization whatever political system or religion we tried no matter how hard we try we can't seem to overcome it, we still have wars a…
Per Deep Thought, the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. It's a very deep thought, if you go past the literal interpretation. EDIT: Before you down vote, read what I meant, since it is obvious that if you are considering a down vote then you're not getting what I'm referring to, and probably think I'm talking about numerology. What I'm referring to is his choice of a number to represent the answer to…
Is that what you had in mind or do you have different interpretations?

Evidence, please. Vague speculation doesn't belong here IMO.
Exactly what are you asking for evidence of?
That seems confused to me, but I can't speak for anyone else in the thread.

Well, if you look at the human brain, it's just a larger cortex on top of the primitive brain stem. So I think, simply looking at our brain architecture, we are will always be impacted by the emotional low level impulses that were the main drivers of behaviors of our ancestors.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're trying to say.
It seems like you're attributing some mysterious intentionality to our violent impulses, as if there's some benevolent entity somewhere in there.
It sounds like you're talking about God.

I've heard that its intended to be the ASCII code for "*" which represents a wildcard (i.e., anything). Is that what you had in mind or do you have different interpretations?
What would be a good book to read before this book? Or is it friendly enough for someone new to behavioral science?

I call it scarcity of resources. You won't see wars and what not when you have humanity with abundance of resources.
b) I bet that we'll have wars even if everyone has all they need. I'd like to be wrong.

> The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story.
