Para abrir boca:
The Moral Instinct
by Steven Pinker

*Which of the following people* would you say is the most admirable: 
Mother Teresa, Bill Gates 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/g/bill_gates/index.html?inline=nyt-per> 
or Norman Borlaug? And which do you think is the least admirable? For 
most people, it’s an easy question. Mother Teresa, famous for 
ministering to the poor in Calcutta, has been beatified by the Vatican 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/r/roman_catholic_church/index.html?inline=nyt-org>, 
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and ranked in an American poll as the most 
admired person of the 20th century. Bill Gates, infamous for giving us 
the Microsoft dancing paper clip and the blue screen of death, has been 
decapitated in effigy in “I Hate Gates” Web sites and hit with a pie in 
the face. As for Norman Borlaug . . . who the heck is Norman Borlaug?
