Just finished Sam Harris (good book), now I'm starting this one, maybe it'll make the limitations of TZM ideology more obvious to a non-scientist like ol' CJ.

If some of you've already read it, feel free to post your opinion. If you haven't, just post intelligently sounding word salad.

Obviously, Blank Slate is a great book pertaining especially to our current cultural identities' tastes and motivational awarenesseses. The monetary system and its constituent parts parcel out currency to suit that which is currently available to us by the time it is produced, shipped, and consumed, and can then be recycled upon receipt. An Artificially Intelligently Technologically Unemployed citizenry will be behest to the behemoth at the be-central be-city known as "Circula" visa vie a computer controlled computer the size of a baseball field where there is no Internet nor wasteful expenditure of facts and sandpaper. I want everyone to understand that because it's important. In a resource based economy there is no motivation, no strife, no conflict, no cooperation, no flight, no fight, no hamburgers, and no toilet seat covers. It's all free. WHY DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND?? Okay, I'm going to stop myself right there.

This is a great listen and totally debunks the TZM nonsense about primitive, altruistic societies.

The rate of war, rape and murder is grossly higher in primitive hunter/gatherer societies than in the developed world.

Yup, that's him. Book is also good - I would usually say "Who the hell believes in blank slate", but if you're thinking about TZM, it's the ideal book to read.
