Re: Re: What's wrong with SF?

If you are really interested in the behaviors behind feelings like this 
("historicals are better than sci fi," "I only play fantasy games,"
etc.), I 
suggest reading Desmond Morris' The Human Zoo. He's a zoologist who
examines 
topics like tribalism and how living in cities has impacted people. I
found it 
enlightening after witnessing many flame wars about "my game is better
than 
yours, nyah nyah."
