[ExI] Evolutionary psychology and recent selection was trump

[William Flynn Wallace]

 70 years ago Germany and Japan were the most militaristic countries in the
world, now they may be the least militaristic.    ​

Does anyone want to go to war when they are rich?  Well, historically, I
suppose many did, but now it would just hurt trade.  So much
interdependency.

There are some very interesting statistics on genetics and crime which
would likely startle everyone in this group.  Plays a small role at best.
