    I would argue it’s not only engrained in society, or even ingrained in the human psyche, it’s engrained in nature itself. Violence in nature is often rewarded with subordinance, and our evolutionary lineage has certainly continued it.

    Overcoming that instinct globally is going to require a huge cultural shift, but we will be much better off if we do.

        I wasn’t trying to correct you, I’m just an idiot who managed to spell it two different ways in the same post. It sounds like both spellings are valid, but I still shouldn’t mix-n-match.

          Oh no, I didn’t think you were intending on correcting me. I just realized I misspelled it after reading your post but I guess the real lesson I learned is that both spellings are correct.
