another point against daniel mcfawn, author of the daily trojan opinion article discussed below:
...the moral debate "reflects an underlying tension between competing subsystems in the brain." On one side are "the social-emotional responses that we've inherited from our primate ancestors." On the other side is a utilitarian calculus "made possible by the more recently evolved structures in the frontal lobes."
...
Since people with VMPC damage are "abnormally 'utilitarian,' " they argue, emotions are necessary to produce "normal judgments of right and wrong."
and mcfawn wants men to ignore these emotional responses for the sake of remaining crotch-grabbing cavemen that don't care about right or wrong, as long as they can eat meat and drive things that go fast and make lots of noise.

oh daniel mcfawn. what a truly valuable human being. makes you want to hysterically laugh and desperately weep in the same moment, all the while reaffirming the unfortunate truth that yes, in fact, some people are just mistakes.
