Guns Germs and Steel. I remember feeling, after I read it, that I saw things differently. But now the ideas presented in it seem the most natural things in the world, and I can’t imagine I ever thought otherwise. Or maybe I had the same views before but not historical foundations for them… I can hardly remember now.
MacOSf or the trackpad gesture support.
Oh. Calling if a metal tube tearing through the sky made me think you objected more to the concept than the comfort, despite your kinked neck reference. Guess I misread.

In private I bet most of these people don’t talk about it at all. They probably don’t actually have strong opinions on the subject one way or the other. They just use the hate to inflame their tool followers to keep themselves in their positions of wealth.

Do you have specific knowledge that oxytocin actually does this though?
MDMA releases the chemical oxytocin, which our bodies naturally produce. The chemical causes animals to fiercely love their own, but also protect them from others — which can mean a disdain for outsiders may actually increase.
I would have to see more data or examples to take this last clause as real. It sounds like some off-the-cuff dualist BS conjecturing. I can’t imagine oxytocin increasing disdain of outsiders just because it induces the opposite feelings toward your in-group.
I have the feeling a Sapiens might be a worthy member of such a list. I haven’t read it yet though. I’d love to hear someone’s opinion who has.
