Um, so? How different would this be from saying that all talent is just a
byproduct of evolutionary forces, whether we acknowledge it or not?
I don't see how it's *possible* to have a worldview without conflicting
with someone else's worldview at some point. And worldviews are precisely
that -- ways of viewing the *world*, which inevitably entails viewing
other people who happen to exist within that world, as well.
