    But humans are intrinsically violent as evidenced by the fact every human society has weapons, kills animals to eat, and goes to war.

    I’m familiar with Pinker. If he’s claiming humans are not intrinsically violent he can take it up with me because he’s rejecting the most obvious of evidence.

    If humans weren’t intrinsically violent, then there wouldn’t be human violence.

      I don’t really see the evidence in this argument. Are horses also intrinsically murderers because I saw a video of one killing a bird once?
