Relevant transcript: "Well, pedophilia is very different case. There are evolutionary justifications for pedophilia. If you are in the state of nature and you don't live in the policed society, if you are some guy in the forest, or you are in an isolated group enough of individuals that there's no such -- that the parents of the kids will not, uh, be monitoring you. I mean, there's lots of people in our evolutionary history that have found themselves being child -- children and going around nature, because their two parents were dead, and there were no one to care for them. And so there is an evolutionary justification to say, 'Hey, I am going to take this children in my house, and eventually she's going to become reproductive, and at that time I will have babies'. So, pedophilia is probably a default mode of reproduction for a large part of our evolutionary history. But evolution doesn't keep you from masturbating on a child that's not yet, uh, reproductive, to the contrary, why not, why not take the child [on your own](unclear), habituate them to sex, so that when they reach 14 years old, they will be pregnant. This is not a justification for pedophilia. It's a factual reality that, that starting at child at 7 years old who has lost his parent and you're in a jungle, surviving, and you feed that child until he, she's 14 years old, this seems like an evolutionary functional strategy that will not be selected against by evolution. If you look at the history of pedophilia victims, lots of them grow up to be adults that are interested in their abuser as a partner. So it works, technically."
