“The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression,” said Hawking, according to CNET. “It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.”

The fallacy with that is that it takes aggression to fight aggression.

If you're a passive little peacenik the wolves will eat you alive.

The challenge then is to channel aggression for Good rather than Evil purposes.

As for Hawking, he'd have been royally fucked in the Cave Man days.

He's an intellectual who's incapable of punching a clock and digging ditches. He will be royally fucked in days to come by those who think an intellectual who doesn't get off his ass and work is a ".....dog (that) don't hunt."

Cave men, in other words.
