When I watched the videos, I did get a similar feeling of concern. And
Robert Wright's answers can be read as neo-social-darwinist. But note
the "can be read"... I am not sure if he is actually darwinist;
reading his book right after reading Guns, Germs and Steel may lead to
a completely different perspective.
