    1. I think we have an intrinsic ruthlessness built into our genes. On those African plains it was a fight for survival. Perhaps it was the meanest who survived and we have inherited their stupidity?

      2. On the other hand I think it was probably teamwork and the helping hand that was most dominant and responsible for our success. The ruthless, cruel streak is a minority trait – but it’s there in most, if not all of us. We have to suppress it. It can be done.
        My faith is in education – it is a civilising developmental tool when carried out properly.
