> But by tough guys surrounding themselves with tough guys we have a tougher race and create a better future for humanity.
Not necessarily. Tough guys surrounded by tough guys can result in:
1) Tough guys in love... no next generation. ("Mongo not that kind of boy...")
2) Tough guys who dominate their neighbors... who finally put the nerds in charge. Tough guys discover that in modern warfare, nerds win. No more tough guys.
3) Tough guys get bored and kill each other.

That's because humans have learned that co-operation and empathy are *generally* stronger survival tools than naked greed and aggression.
Can? Can? You can do better than that. Perhaps they can result in spontaneous combustion also, but they are not most likely to.
That's because humans have learned that co-operation and empathy are *generally* stronger survival tools than naked greed and aggression.
Yeah, as long as that empathy and co-operation is backed up by an army or police force with big guns. You crack me up. Girlie-man societies like the one we live in now are a drop in the historical bucket. This one won't last and we'll be back to the natural order of things.
Don't take what I said too far. Requiring men to defend their property, ability to procreate, and their lives has historically been the best way to ensure a strong species. However, this doesn't mean wonton raping, pillaging, and murdering. That takes a lot of energy anyway. It does mean that you take what you want when you want it. Gluttony toward any apetite is a distraction.
But if a tough guy wants your girl, I hope you have more than just talk about "co-operation and empathy being *generally* stronger survival tools" to defend her with.
Shalom.
