Excited to hear Ian Morris lecture on Violence in History at LSE #LSEMorris pic.twitter.com/2eAd1qm2UQ
#LSEMorris what causes historical stories and what factors derail future ones pic.twitter.com/w4XzPZy5sb- Morris: A long view of history pushes you towards viewing history as cultural evolution, somewhat similar to biological evolution #LSEMorris
- #LSEMorris violence will remain as an evolved adaptation - bad news
- Good news: violence responds to surrounding environment. We're the only species that has reduced the amount of violence it uses. #LSEMorris
- Morris on violence: bad news is it's an evolutionary adaptation. Good news is as such, it responds to environment. #LSEMorris
- #LSEMorris good news: violence's rate is declining
- #LSEMorris violence 'natural' : that's bad news, good news, and finally great news @LSEpublicevents @LSESEAC
- 10k years ago 40 of us in the lecture theatre would have died violently (it's all kicking off @LSEpublicevents😜) #LSEMorris
- Rates of violent death, just keep falling. So how do we make sure the trend continues? #LSEMorris
- Morris discuss major decreases in human violent death. 10-20% in the Stone Age, now only 0.7% do even with modern weaponry #LSEMorris
- How did violence reduce? Paradoxically says Morris, war itself - by creating more organised societies/bigger governments #LSEMorris
- Wars and organised armies/societies actually helped create peaceful societies (rulers wanted obedience, quiet) #LSEMorris @LSEpublicevents
Great turnout for Ian Morris' lecture 'Each Age Gets the Bloodshed it Needs' #LSEMorris @lseideas @DannyQuah pic.twitter.com/xCtlCLrFju- Picking out especially bad or good rulers, is not going to prove anything. These trends only work when you look at the long term #LSEMorris
