# Determined -- Robert Sapolsky **Author: Robert Sapolsky Rating: 3/5** I've enjoyed all of Sapolsky's books. But this one, not so much. That being said though, I thought it was a decent read. My main takeaway from it is that we should be using a quarantine-based approach when it comes to handling criminality. > Those in the future will marvel at what we didn't yet know. There will be scholars opining about why in the course of a few decades around the start of the third millennium, most Americans stopped opposing gay marriage. History majors will struggle on final exams to remember whether it was the nineteenth, twentieth, or twenty-first century when people began to understand epigenetics. They will view us as being as ignorant as we view the goitered peasants who thought Satan caused seizures. That borders on the inevitable. But it need not be inevitable that they also view us as heartless.
