[QUOTE="Tom 1, post: 73383707, member: 404020"] There was an article about this kind of idea in New Scientist recently, pointing out its weaknesses as it happens. Doesn’t address the thorny issue of human nature. I’ve drawn a blank on the author’s name (it’s late here), but in the recent book Sapiens - and I think I read it somewhere else also - there’s the idea that conservatives and liberals have always existed, mentally. The conservatives would be those arguing to stay on the same hunting & gathering area, building defences, avoiding contact with other groups, while the liberals would be those arguing that resources won’t last forever so they should look further afield, maybe make alliances with other tribes, and so on. It’s an interesting idea. [/QUOTE]
