Questions to actually ask:

It does bother me when people cart out weak arguments about how evolution was trying to do one thing but somehow humans managed to do something else. Talk about hubris—to think that we as individuals could fight nature on its most fundamental level. It's like saying we managed to change the fundamentals of…

First off, nice nickname.

The problem with the "evolution" argument is that the honest truth is that we evolved to be exactly the way we are as a population.

By intentionally not reading books by white male…

I absolutely don't believe in monogamy.

When I was suddenly given a cancer diagnosis, we were stunned. But, I later found out from my mother that he called and told her that she didn't need to worry. He was not ever leaving me and that he would take care of her only child no matter what.

I have a theory about people who become wildly successful/famous on the level that Steve has achieved: their relationship with their past, pre-fame and success, is an either or proposition.
