Human Nature

As the sage Scott Adams has so wisely stated, human nature is characterised by three cardinal attributes - selfishness, stupidity and horniness. This conclusion is surprisingly congruent with the Darwinian, Dawkinsian and Dickensian models of human nature.

The motivations behind all volitional human activities can be deconstructed to arrive at one or more of the above fundamental particles of human nature, each type in varying proportions. Selfishness, stupidity and horniness therefore are the quarks of human nature.

Therein lies the genius of Mr Adams. What physicists are only tentatively beginning to achieve now by expending stupendous amounts of time, money and efforts - in terms of discovering the fundamental particles constituting all matter, Scott Adams has effortlessly achieved for human nature with a nifty stroke of the pen (or the keyboard).

I hereby nominate Scott Adams to receive the Nobel Prize for psychology!
