Selfish-gene theory tells us nothing about the value of interacting through language.

We use the official definitions of terrorism. The definitions in the U.S. code, in British law, in U.S. Army manuals and so on. And if you use those definitions it follows instantly that the United States is the leading terrorist state in the world.

There are a lot of things that can be done within the framework of existing institutions which would be very valuable for people.

The US is to an unusual extent a business-run society, where short-term concerns of profit and market share displace rational planning.
