What defines a species?

[Ophiolite]

Not always. Many are too sophisticated
for such self deception and low rhetoric

I probably wouldn't call it sophisticated. I think self-aware is a more useful term. Knowing that there is a tendency for humans to project their weaknesses onto others one can simply monitor one's critiques of others, looking for signs those critiques stem from ones own tendencies. I think of it as a straightforward, sensible approach - very hands-on - rather than something sophisticated.

Projection was mostly developed by Anna Fraud, but she likes to give her dad credit for it.
