Our Debt to Stalingrad

BERKELEY – We are not newly created, innocent, rational, and reasonable beings. We are not created fresh in an unmarked Eden under a new sun.

Our past has built up layer upon layer of instincts, propensities, habits of thought, patterns of interaction, and material resources.
