That's not at odds with my position. I'm arguing that human nature wil
not remain fixed, even over relatively short time scales, regardless of
what we do. Nothing inconsistent with interest in what were are and how
we got this way. I was disagreeing with several assertions in your post,
such as that since human nature has remained relatively stable over
historical times it isn't going to change substantially in the near future.
