Quote:Next, lets take your basic male child, place him in front of a television and leave him there for the rest of his life. What happens? This child cannot help but be sensitive to the emotional states of the characters he sees. When Elmo is happy, the child is happy. When Naruto defeats the latest evil daemon ninja, the child feels elated right along with Naruto. When he sees the excited young woman reporting from Baghdad as it is shocked and awed, the child feels excited too. When he sees the child in the commercial smiling and contented with his rainbow marshmallow cereal and sodee pop, the child feels desire for these foods too. This is our biology. We read faces exactly as other great apes do. This is how we learn about our environment...
