Book: Aggression

The emotional depths of our soul simply does not take note that flexion of the index finger when fired expands inside of another person. No mentally normal person would not go even on hunting if it had to kill game teeth and nails.

The knowledge that grew out of abstract thought, drove man from Paradise where he is mindlessly following his instincts, he could do anything he wanted. Originating from this thinking voprosami experimentation with the surrounding world gave man his first weapon: fire and stone, clutched in his hand. And he immediately used them to kill and roast their fellow men.

As Hegel said, the lessons of history teach us that people and governments never learn from history and derive from it any lessons.

Reasonable, but illogical human nature causes two Nations to compete and fight with each other, even when they are not forced to do so, no economic reason; she pushes to the bitter struggle the two political parties or religions, despite the striking similarity of their programs for universal welfare; she makes some Alexander or a Napoleon to sacrifice millions of their citizens for trying to unite under his sceptre the whole world. It is noteworthy that in school we learn to relate to people who committed all these savagery, with respect, even revere them as great men. We are accustomed to obey the so-called political wisdom of state leaders, and so accustomed to all these phenomena that most of us can't understand how stupid, how bad for humanity historical behavior of people.

The hatred, the ugly little sister of love, needs to be clearly separated from intraspecific aggression. Unlike conventional aggression it is directed at the individual, exactly like love, and apparently love is a prerequisite for its appearance: to really hate can, perhaps, only that once loved, and still love, though denying that.

When I argue that pet is not a person, then I say that the personality begins where each of the two creatures play in the life of another creature such a role, which can not immediately assume none of the other relatives.

What is required of the perfect man is to a spouse, despite the overwhelming spiritual and physical superiority, in accordance with the ritual regulated by the law obey the slightest whim of their females.

But among animals there are a number of types, which under normal, i.e. not pathological, conditions never happens to the male seriously assaulted a female.
This applies, for example, dogs and, no doubt, to the wolves. I would absolutely not trust the dog who bit a female and would advise its owner extreme caution - especially if you have children, because the social inhibition that dog is clearly something broken.

Because of different ratios of compatibility between the three sources of impulses of different sexes, the male can mate only with a partner of lower rank, whom he can intimidate, but female - on the contrary - only with a partner of higher rank that may intimidate her; thus the described mechanism of behavior ensures the establishment of opposite-sex couples.

... another function of intraspecific aggression is to protect the offspring. This feature is so obvious that talking about it is just not necessary. But to remove any doubt, it is sufficient to refer to the fact that many animals who have only one sex cares for the offspring, they're really aggressive towards other dogs the representatives of that gender, or their aggressiveness is much stronger. From koluszki is males; many small cichlids females. In chickens and ducks only females care for offspring, and they are much neurovive males, of course, if you do not keep in mind the fights. Something like this should be a man.

Corals and civilization - usually grow on the skeletons of their predecessors.
