Ambiguity Of Violence — by Robert Sapolsky

Post by Welles »

This little essay has the philosophy in the first paragraph. Here it is.
It is the ambiguity of violence, that we can pull a trigger as an act of hideous aggression or of self-sacrificing love, that is so challenging. As a result, violence will always be a part of the human experience that is profoundly hard to understand. The biologies of strong love and strong hate are similar in many ways, which is we don’t actually hate aggression -- we hate the wrong kind of aggression but love it in the right context.
OK this could be boring but... The rest of the article is a little story to illustrate that point. It is wonderful and I'm not going to spoil it for you with any more of an excerpt.
