I don't get this at all. What does PCT have to do with violence,
domination, or surviving as a warrior (as opposed to some other way)?
The contrary is the case, it seems to me, seeing as PCT describes
people as `satisficers' rather than `maximizers', and thereby as
in principle at least capable of living peaceably in situations where
resources are limited. Maybe we don't always see the relevance of
everything you say (to the theme that when people do things, they are
in general controlling some perception or other, which is what this
group is about), but that's a different issue.
