Great post.
An illuminating quote from the article:
"Once you understand someone's behavior on a sufficiently mechanical level, it's very hard to look at them as evil," he says. "You can look at them as dangerous; you can pity them; but evil doesn't exist on a neuronal level."comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.31690-636387Wed, 10 Mar 2004 11:41:11 -0800jsonicBy: lumpley

I was reading this in the April issue of Discover today, thinking what a great post it would make. Good work homonculus!comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.31690-636467Wed, 10 Mar 2004 12:51:23 -0800IrontomBy: Slagman

I'd liked this too, it clarified my thinking on the Buddhist notion that moral rules about right and wrong do not work nearly so well as trusting our innate goodness, intuition, whatever... Buddha nature. Humans not too badly distorted by suffering in their lives will do the right thing.comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.31690-636713Wed, 10 Mar 2004 17:07:48 -0800SlagmanBy: languagehat

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
