I spoke yesterday to trivers. who said you shared an interview with him and Seed magazine. ( i was the money behind , it failed ) On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 7:10 AM, Noam Chomsky > wrote: Sexist. How do you know that she didn't move the furniture while I told her when and where. Hobbes vs. Adam Smith. Hobbes: life is a war. Smith: the fundamental human motive is sympathy (including his term "invisible hand," invariably misunderstood. Reminds me of a quip of Quine's about origin of language: it was invented so that we wouldn't just hit each other. On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 12:14 AM, jeffrey E.

Can I plagiarize it? I guess one could say that a lion and a gazelle have competing powers, but it somehow seems misleading. All living systems? How about Valeria and I furnishing our apartment together (I became an expert on rugs)? Or Morris and I writing a book together? Interestingly, I finished off the brisket and pretty much the corned beef but am saving the pastrami. Great mustard and bread too. The only problem is that the dog goes berserk unless I give her little pieces. Must have Jewish genes. On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 9:53 PM, jeffrey E.

But the sense relevant to those who write about power -- Morgenthau, Russell, etc. -- is coercive power. Like my telling my dog right now that I can't play with her. How about putting an animal with a human auditory and visual system in the same room as a human infant -- a chimp for example. And see if it can learn speech or sign the way the infant does. Acquisition of speech and sign are remarkably similar. And we know that even with huge training efforts, which the infant doesn't need at all, results for the chimp will be zero. But interestingly, the facts as usual have no interest to the data-processing usage-based enthusiasts. On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 8:48 PM, Jeffrey E.

The exciting problems I can think of are either too far from current understanding, or too theory- internal for the general significance to be easily perceived. Meanwhile, ran across a nice definition of "power," thinking about an earlier letter that you may have forgotten. From Hans Morgenthau: Power in the international context is "that untamed and barbaric force which finds its laws in nothing but its own strength and its sole justification in its own aggrandizement."
