education / culture issue



Every culture in every corner of the world throughout known history.


So far. Hence, education / culture issue.


The evidence points to an uninterrupted stream of human violence throughout all history. Meanwhile, you speculate --without basis-- that this will be solved via education, positing some pedagogical or cultural breakthrough that somehow has evaded humanity for all of its existence. What do you think that will be?


There is a particular amount of hubris in your statement that reeks of ignorance. Violence is an innate behavior of all mammals. We can choose to do it less, but it will always be an option. Take people that get brain damage and are otherwise functional but have issues with violence.


Shades of the novy sovetsky chelovek.

How well did that work out?
