I can only offer a small direction here- this is a vital point-
biological needs are relevant, they must be. We now need to really
discover where culture (values) comes from- and we can't get there by
backtracking along history- history moves too fast, and spreads too far-
we need to get there by microsurgery and deep level investigation of
these biological things that make us move.

I only echo what I sense in Wilson on these points, so I apologize for
maintaining his presence, but I totally accept his stance on this.

But then, I don't know what I really need half the time....
