Prayer and all other rituals provide mindfulness, the demand for which increases with powerlessness, alienation, and anonymity as populations increase.Few know how to advocate for stoic, epicurean, heathen, theological ritual in scientific terms, so they use the familiar: prayer.

Look: I’m not religious. I don’t pray. But I support people who do pray offering prayers. It’s wrong to mock a sincere expression of grief and support.

However: Blaming a *lack* of prayer for violence or sickness? That’s evil nonsense, and everyone should call it out.

White Men = Political violence, calculated, rare. Non White Men = Criminal viole

White Men = Political violence, calculated, rare.
Non White Men = Criminal violence, impulsive, common.

Why? White men build and defend commons from which all kin benefit . All other men maximize private gains and fail to build commons. This is the difference between civ.’s

The #DaytonShooter murdered his sister and her boyfriend. He murdered white and black people. Men and women. Not likely that he had a political motive. Stop ascribing things where they are not warranted or known.

THREE MAJOR RESPONSES – FLIGHT, FREEZE OR FIGHT.
by James Dmitro Makienko

—“Cooperation is only valuable until it isn’t. … Humans can choose always to (a) evade, (b) cooperate with, (c) prey upon, one another.”— CD

Just like in danger there are three major responses – FLIGHT, FREEZE or FIGHT.

A small minority would choose to escape the situation or circumstances

A larger minority would try to confront it, make the most out of it for themselves

A majority would simply go along and cooperate with each other to ensure their Maslov and status needs are met
