dear men

gene-culture co-evolutionist—without i am writing you both bec=use the genes i am attaching a still not-quite-complete response to Peter Richerson,=a

i do so because four lines down i tell the "Gruterites"=E24*Gordon Getty's echo chamber—that i have added you two =o the list

so here is your chance to say "no=way" and i will delete that from the message and likewise not ask Gru=er's assistant to add your names to the list

=aving said that, i find Gordon's missives much less burdensome than th=se from EDGE and certainly without the egomaniacal nonsense that infects1=hn Brockman—the key is to get the brightest minds in a room and ha=e them tell each other what they think is most important—or some s=ch nonsense

neither David nor i can think of a si=gle scientific advance achieved that way—most of what we do is sim=ly concentrated sustained thought directed toward the foundations of a pro=lem

i doubt Jeffrey has made a huge amount of mon=y via the EDGE program

unless you say otherwise, = will shortly send you the key Getty missives in which he asserts, i belie=e correctly, that Trump is an archetypal narcissistic psychopath—o= whatever the precise term is—and that he must be opposed with ful= force on that basis

meanwhile, David has heard plenty about you Jeffrey, a financial/mat=ematical mind of exceptional quality and you should know that David =s one of the very top evolutionary geneticists still breathing and my teac=er on every detail large and small

in haste and a=l best

i think you might be missing the benefit of the psycopath=C24> to the group. he is the defender easily sacrificed..=A0 but strkes fear in the heart of the other tribes. the= are needed as best warriors
