Stuntman and indie action film director Eric Jacobus fought foryears to make it in the entertainment business He finally got his big break as the stuntman for Kratos in God of War () With God of War's success, Jacobus, with the help of his brotherinlaw Zac Swartout, set out to build an action design and motion capture studio housed in Las Vegas, with the upcoming God of War Ragnark as his target But to get the massive contract, Jacobus gave them the pitch of a lifetime: Jacobus would design the action based on a new science of violence which he had been developing for years The presentation was a success: SuperAlloy opened its doors with Ragnark as the first contract, which was followed by a string of hits like Sifu, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Destiny , Midnight Fight Express, and Mortal Kombat , as well as films like Army of the DeadThroughout the company's life, Jacobus honed his hypothesis of violence With a daily reading regimen ofpages spanning subjects like anthropology, history, military science, archaeology, primatology, neuroscience, social sciences, psychology, evolutionary science, and linguistics, Jacobus sought the mechanism behind the apocalyptic nature of human violence to design the best action possible But to his surprise, theories of human violence were always complex and gradual Violence is often, paradoxically, called animalistic and inhuman, yet somehow also uniquely human No authors ever mechanically differentiated human and animal combat He wondered, how great would it be if someone familiar with violence wrote a book on it?After reading hundreds of books, Jacobus outlined a simple difference between human and animal combat Animals are limited to their natural weapons which are paired with their defenses the weapons are therefore known to all parties, making combat safe for forming hierarchies But because humans use objects in combat, the opponent's weapon can't be anticipated, which incentivizes both sides to escalate to extremes, blowing combat into apocalyptic proportions He calls this reciprocal, objectbased aggression (ROBA) The book details how there is no evidence of ROBA in any animal species, even primatesJacobus redefines violence as a mode of exchange To avoid violence, we must exchange ROBA for other cultural forms like language, religion, art, etc By formulating violence minimally as ROBA, Jacobus inadvertently flips the script on the human sciences, showing ROBA to be far from animalistic it might be the best way to understand humans The ROBA Hypothesis also allowed him to make a cool action design and motion capture company This book is all about how he did itThis book rivals the best work of Yuval Noah Harari and Jared Diamond and deserves a wide readershipBe ready for an eventful reading experience This is a brilliant bookErik Buys, elected member COVRJacobus takes us through the origins and implications of his extremely important ROBA hypothesis, adding not only a critical element to mimetic theory and modification of the
