Jed— The essay you provide highlights the effect of the “hard wired” instinct to be part of the HERD of people making up a society of economically driven humans and a FEELING it is good to be the most aggressive pecker in the flock, the top dog, the biggest ram or whatever. The HERD instinct is probably more influential in the direction a global society is headed than the hard wired drive for procreation (i.e., SEX) is.
This HERD instinct has remained strong over the eons as in family, tribal, national, religious groups and now global entities. However, as It labors to transcend the instinctual human drives, REASON is slowly gaining an upper hand from an optimist’s viewpoint.
