Welcome to My Blog

In the marketplace of ideas that is the internet, I am simply another merchant trying to peddle my wares. I could give you my credentials but in cyberspace credentials are really not important, are they? Admittedly, I am not really a misanthrope, though I do have a lot of contempt for humanity in general. But, I cannot lie and say I feel nothing for humans, because deep down I am pulling for the entire species to succeed; to do the right thing; to evolve. I suppose it is the constant disappointment that has led me to post my thoughts, opinions, feelings, and sociological theories. I invite your comments, arguments, and personal experiences...

Go Monkeys!!

It has become increasingly obvious that people have an innate, biological ability to recognize peoples they know vis-a-vis those they don't. Monkeys, for example, recognize other monkeys they know in pictures presented to them. This is important because it tells us more about why humans are so tribal and defensive over their social group's boundaries.
