Your brain morphology theory is bunk Elroy. When young I was a socialist, happy with the idea of government. My ideology changed when as a young adult I was faced with the reality of what governments and people do in reality rather than theory.

Or do you think brain morphology changes when ideas change? Groan - anticipating your response, yes I know brains are "plastic" and scans do show actual changes in shape given different externalities. But I mean change in ideas.

But you are right in some respects - dogs travel in packs, cats don't. "Herding cats" makes sense to people because cats uniformly think like cats. Dogs love a good pack! Humans also have a lot of sheep characteristics so are easily herded. Dogs don't really "herd".

My theory is that people are like dogs, but with cat tendencies. Hence the eternal battle between the individual and the state [aka Tribe]. Same with chimp tribes.

Different human breeds [races] are like different dog breeds. Different breeds are not all the same contrary to popular delusion. All babies and pups are not born the same. Which is not to say that individuals within a race are all the same [ignorant and stupid racists think like that].

You racists like to lump people together in collectivist thinking. We anti-racists despise collectivist thinking.
