actually monkeys proove that this is the case for anyone not used to this type of interaction....When I say generational I mean cultural... and monkeys would be at culture 0.

 

THe real test would be to have an monkey android raise the monkey... then see how he interacts with other fake monkeys

 

Now about the picture... the unsetling thing is the exagerated flaws... I think that is the wrong path to proper realistic approach. You don't really want to see the ugly part of nature...

 

OK, then that means it may be a natural trait that can be overcome through learning or experience.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
