	Vanderbilt News:Author Robert Wright to Speak on Evolutionary Psychological Aspects of Love, Monogamy and ...
		Wright's talk, which is free and open to the public, will address many of the same issues of human nature brought up in his new book.
		Wright is an authority on the new science of evolutionary psychology, which explains these types of inquiries by observing natural selection and social and moral development over the ages.
		Wright is currently a senior editor of The New Republic, a leading opinion magazine, and has written for The Atlantic Monthly, New Yorker and Time.

	Where Are We Headed? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Wright seems reluctant even to consider that inherent in the universe are not only quarks and quasars but a moral architecture that it could be argued is the source of our teleological instinct.
		Wright is sinuous but effective in his responses; indeed, the evidence for convergences in cultural form and dynamics across the globe provides a persuasive catalog to suggest that for all its richness and diversity humankind is on a trajectory toward a common goal.
		Wright freely admits that the road ahead may be bumpy (to put it mildly), and the tensions of rabid nationalism and environmental perturbation are to some extent intangibles.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: An Immense World of Delight
		Wright is an ultra-connected journalist, and The Moral Animal made a Time magazine cover -- which signals an awesome status in the realm of punditry, the equivalent of "making your bones" in the Mafia.
		Wright gives us a breezy history of humanity, which he embeds in a breezy history of life itself, which he then embeds in a breezy mysticism.
		Wright had the good sense not to title his book Win-Win, but the concept of nonzero-sumness is similar, except that Wright reifies a simple notion in game theory into an actual life force.

	Cathy Young's new book, Ceasefire! and the myths that are hurled in the battle of the sexes.
		Wright and Ridley invoke it to support affirmative action: Since men's advancement is propelled by their greater lust for power, often unrelated to merit, women must be favored "not to redress prejudice but to redress human nature."
		Robert Wright asserts that in casual sex, "the worst likely outcome for the man (in genetic terms) is that pregnancy would not ensue." Never mind that in real-life terms, the worst likely outcome is that it would.
		Robert Wright suggests that affirmative action should be based on the premise that women are less prone "to sacrifice the organization's welfare to personal advancement," and hence good for business.

	ContemporaryDebatesFollowingDarwin in SocialThoughtWiki
		In contrast, those who have made the field their life’s work (and even some who have not; Robert Wright is primarily a journalist) are in a constant struggle to define these terms precisely and establish their opinions of them.
		Wright further discounts Gould’s statement that while “average complexity of all species may have grown,” this is not “‘progress’ because it is fundamentally ‘random’” (Wright, 1999).
		Robert Wright is much identified with this theory, discussing it in his 1994 book The Moral Animal.

		The teachers were very committed, and Wright and his friends took their schooling seriously, but they didn't study literature in school, and the students scarcely knew of the existence of African-American writers.
		Wright was 17 or 18 when he read him, and for the first time, he saw words being used as weapons.
		Wright was the first bestselling fl writer; he was the first fl man to buy a house in Greenwich Village; he was the first African-American writer to leave for Paris after W.W. II.; he was the first fl American writer to star in a movie based on his own novel.

	Look Who's Stalking
		If readers are confused by Wright's single-minded fury -- after all, his attacks seem largely unprovoked, and Gould's theories about evolution are really tangential to Wright's central thesis that human intelligence is on the verge of melding into "one great global mind" -- Gould, too, is utterly nonplussed.
		Wright pointedly accused Gould of intellectual dishonesty, "putting words in Darwin's mouth," and tailoring his own scientific views to fit his socialist politics: Punctuated equilibrium -- Gould's famous reinterpretation of Darwinist theory as a series of violent fits and starts, not a gradual process -- was wrongheadedly informed by a "Marxist" view of human history.
		Wright was trying to goad and prod Gould into responding -- and at the same time get himself accepted as one of the big boys.

	TOLSTOY AND MODERN SCIENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Wright explains that while important modern thinkers from Freud forward have intuited that modern society didn't really meet human emotional needs, they have often misunderstood why.
		Wright continues: "In a thousand little ways--from the telephone to the refrigerator to ready-made microwavable meals--technology has eroded the bonds of neighborly interdependence.
		The result, according to Wright, is that "modern society is dangerously asocial…The problem is that too little of our 'social' contact is social in the natural, intimate sense of the word…" For example, a man may believe that he's "socializing" with women by using them as sexual playthings.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Archive Search
		Reviewing the field of evolutionary psychology, journalist Robert Wright's The Moral Animal — revealingly subtitled Why We Are the Way We Are — concludes that all our behaviour reflects the need to maximise genetic inheritance.
		Robert Wright argues, for example, that the idea of moral responsibility underlying the current legal system is outmoded and obsolete.
		And, Wright says, arguments about intention, human agency, and free will are also meaningless when behaviour is reducible to evolutionary impulse.

		Wright’s lawyers at Judicial Watch, a conservative Washington, D.C., public-interest group best known for the string of lawsuits it filed against the Clinton administration, including one on behalf of Gennifer Flowers, appealed the decision.
		Because the Wright case is in civil court, if Crogan is ordered to talk and he refuses, he more likely faces a fine for civil contempt, such as in the Lee case, though experts say it depends on Judge Klausner.
		Wright had accused the FBI of shutting down a 1998 criminal probe into alleged Hamas terrorist training camps in Chicago and Kansas City, allegedly funded by a naturalized American citizen born in Jerusalem named Mohammed Salah.

		Maybe the next time I’ll find journalists wearing white smocks, women and men pursuing an elusive science of news, as though they were actors on TV’s Crime Scene Investigation show, covering the news in a sterile vacuum.
		I was assigned to keep a journalistic eye on things inside the Chicago cardinal’s residence while the pope and John Cardinal Cody were in a slow motorcade from the airport, and to greet the pope when he walked in.
		My smile lost some of its spontaneity when I looked into the gray, bloodless face of an exhausted man. But this man was the pope, and he pushed fatigue aside to climb a stairway and stop onto the roof of a carport to greet and bless the crowds.

	TED \| Speakers \| Robert Wright
		The best-selling author of Nonzero and The Moral Animal, Robert Wright draws on his wide-ranging knowledge of science, religion, psychology, history and politics to figure out what makes humanity tick -- and what makes us moral.
		Author Robert Wright thinks the crises the human species now faces are moral in nature, and that our salvation lies in the intelligent pursuit of self-interest.
		Well-respected for his erudition and original thinking (Bill Clinton hailed him as a genius), Wright draws from multiple disciplines -- including science, religion, history and politics -- in his search for big-picture perspectives on today's problems, particularly terrorism, while offering guarded hope for where we might be headed.

		Though Wright never once downplays the complexity of the subject at hand, he makes it amazingly approachable by giving equal time to routing fundamentals and practical application.
		As for the bridging bit, this section addresses what Wright considers the all-too-common problem of attempting to route IP between LANs using different technologies, such as Token Ring and Ethernet, when the equipment is incapable of handling the job.
		Robert Wright provides in his book a clear introduction in IP routing.

		But, notes science journalist Malcolm Gladwell in his book The Tipping Point, "Studies of juvenile delinquency and high school drop-out rates demonstrate that a child is better off in a good neighbourhood and a troubled family than he or she is in a troubled neighbourhood and a good family."
		Journalist Robert Wright, in his book The Moral Animal, says, "…the feeling of moral 'rightness' is something natural selection created so that people would employ it selfishly.
		A government-commissioned survey conducted in 2002 by British pollster Robert Worcester found that six percent of Indo-Trinis had a university education as compared to five percent of Afro-Trinis, and five percent of Indos had A-Levels compared to four percent of Afros.

	Man Without Qualities
		Unlike John Roberts, or for that matter Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, or Clarence Thomas, Miers comes to the highest Court in the land as practically unknown quality, a gamble for incredibly high stakes.
		At least, I agree with him if the comparison he describes is taken as arguing that because Robert Jackson didn't have a law degree, or because Byron White was a corporate lawyer and a personal friend of the president who appointed him, Harriet Miers must therefore be well-qualified.
		His choice of John Roberts for Chief Justice, and his often and clearly expressed admiration for Justices Thomas and Scalia, are proof enough of that.

	The Weekly Wedge Update: April 23, 2001: Inherit the Wind in Reverse
		Wright is best known as a champion of evolutionary psychology, which left-wing Darwinists like Steven Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin correctly regard as a pseudoscience on the level of phrenology.
		Wright has retaliated by dubbing Gould (in the New Yorker) as "The Accidental Creationist," because Gould has published so many foolish concessions (e.g., fossil stasis is the "trade secret of paleontology") that have encouraged public skepticism towards Darwinism.
		In an attempt to counter the favorable publicity in the New York Times, Wright turned his scorn on Phillip Johnson, Michael Behe, and William Dembski, in a rant that can best be described as a comedy of errors.

		Under such conditions, researchers found that experimental subjects were much more willing to cooperate, a result that some economists initially dismissed as evidence of "irrational" behavior, given that the "rational" choice in the prisoner's dilemma is always to defect.
		When the task is recast as an exercise in detecting whether someone has violated a social contract (such as agreeing to provide a service in return for a specific remuneration), people suddenly reason more proficiently, focusing on evidence that would clearly establish that the other person is cheating.
		It is perhaps no accident that science journalists such as Ridley have become almost indispensable in keeping scientists themselves abreast of this sprawling enterprise.
