what i am saying at bottom, cyn, is that emphasizing subjective dispositions eliminates not only any space for collective action, but any hope you might have that it could accomplish anything. the story is written in advance, so why bother?
so there are two problems with this human nature business
a) in itself, the game is circular.
b) the consequences of this circular game are politically debilitating, so even if the theory of "human nature" were true in some non-tautological sense, it'd be a regressive move to susbscribe to it.
there's another side to it, but i have stuff to do that requires my attention, so maybe if this is still twitching later i'll post more about it.
