Profile

I write on science, medicine, nature, culture and other matters for the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Slate, National Geographic, Scientific American Mind, and other publications. (Find clips here.) Right now I'm writing my fourth book, The Orchid and the Dandelion, which explores the hypothesis that the genetic roots some of our worst problems and traits — depresison, hyperaggression, violence, antisocial behavior — can also give rise to resilience, cooperation, empathy, and contentment. The book expands on my December 2009 Atlantic article exploring these ideas. I've also written three books, including Reef Madness: Charles Darwin, Alexander Agassiz, and the Meaning of Coral, which traces the strangest but most forgotten controversy in Darwin's career — an elemental dispute running some 75 years.

Good. It's about damned time somebody killed socialism and embraced normalism. I hope this whole stupid thing fails miserably and better yet, I hope the criminal CRAP and trade bill fails even worse. If they want a healthcare bill that will help "the poor" in this country, then let me write it. I can get it written, voted on, and signed into law in less than 72 hours. It will be very bad for the insurance companies, but will be even worse for the government and evn worse than that for the big pharma companies and socialism will not be a part of it.

Which word? Socialism or CRAP and trade? Ever hear of Hopkins? Wasn't he the Stalin associate that helped FDR create Social security?
