“One reason that a truth and reconciliation process is needed for group selection is to return to the simplicity of the original problem and Darwin’s solution. As Ed Wilson and I put it in our recent review article titled “Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Sociobiology“: Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. Everything else is commentary.” ReasonProblemProcessGroupsReturnNeededBeatsSolutionsOriginalsFoundationSimplicitySelfishSelfishnessReviewsArticlesAltruismSelectionReconciliationTheoreticalCommentaryWilsonRethinking Author:David Sloan Wilson

“The UN should arrange, as US forces leave, for an international group of peacekeepers and negotiators from the Arab countries to bring together Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and work out a solution for self-governance that would give all three groups a share in political power. Simultaneously, the UN should arrange for shipments of food and medicine, from the United States and other countries, as well as engineers to help rebuild the country.” GivingShouldWellsSelfCountryStatesHelpingTogetherPoliticalThreeForceUnitedUnited StatesGroupsShareSolutionsMedicineInternationalWork OutEngineersOther CountriesGovernancePolitical PowerKurdsPeacekeepers Author:Howard Zinn

“I have often been amused by our vulgar tendency to take complex issues, with solutions at neither extreme of a continuum of possibilities, and break them into dichotomies, assigning one group to one pole and the other to an opposite end, with no acknowledgment of subtleties and intermediate positions and nearly always with moral opprobrium attached to opponents.” EndsMoralBreakIssuesGroupsPossibilityPositionSolutionsOppositesComplexesExtremesTendenciesOpponentsVulgarSubtletyAmusedContinuumDichotomyAcknowledgment Book:The Flamingo's Smile: Reflections in Natural History Source: The Flamingo's Smile: Reflections in Natural History

“One group of scholars or persons, most of them politically motivated, say the Holocaust occurred. Then there is the group of scholars who represent the opposite position and have therefore been imprisoned for the most part. Hence, an impartial group has to come together to investigate and to render an opinion on this very important subject, because the clarification of this issue will contribute to the solution of global problems.” PersonsImportantProblemTogetherOpinionIssuesGroupsSubjectsPositionSolutionsOppositesMotivatedHolocaustScholarClarification Author:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

“Where taxes are concerned, there are two clear-cut points of view. There are those who think they're too high and those who think they should be even higher because, after all, politicians spend our money far more wisely than we do. The obvious solution I'd propose is that the people in the first group would pay less and those in the second group would pay more. Lots more.” PeopleThinkingShouldFirstsTwoViewsPayClearCuttingGroupsHigherPoliticianTaxesSolutionsConcernedObviousPoint Of ViewPropose Author:Burt Prelutsky
“After the revolution you have the problem of keeping things going, of sorting out all the different views. It's quite natural that revolutionaries should have different solutions, that they should split into different groups and then reform, that's the dialectic, isn't it - but at the same time they need to be united against the enemy, to solidify a new order.” NeedsShouldDifferentProblemOrderNaturalUnitedViewsEnemyGroupsRevolutionSolutionsShould HaveReformRevolutionarySplitsDialecticsDifferent ViewsSortingSorting Out Author:John Lennon
