Yes, violence is an important topic. Why this paper? Is this the best paper ever written on the topic? Is it in the top 80%? Your answer seems to be that it contains the word “bias.” You still haven’t identified a cognitive bias. If you did, I would concede that it is in the top 50% of all papers ever written on violence.
To make a positive contribution, I suggest that people interested in violence read Randall Collins.
What is the cognitive bias and why is this relevant to LW? (The first does not answer the second!)
See my other comment. Effectively:
Did you mean to suggest disabling (the bias for) violence isn’t a useful and/or LessWrong-relevant topic? Downvoted until further notice.
