Oh no. Males aren’t “demonic;” men are great. Yay, men. I find that whole thing quite overstated, frankly.
Sir Isaiah Berlin is so eloquent when he discusses the space of human action in his essay on Historical Inevitability. The space for human action may be more limited than we at first think; but it is not entirely removed. Value pluralism exists, but that doesn’t mean we can’t move forward once we have acknowledged and analyzed that, as Charles Blattberg argues.
Because we share the common ancestor and are probably stuck with monkey brains doesn’t mean we cannot be better people. It just means that we have to devote ourselves to working harder to end self-deception, to devise institutions that work with what inherent structural incentives we may have, to reconcile and communicate. You know, overcome bias.
