We can’t staff our military because americans are obese. The russians can’t staff their military because of alcohol, conscription and the economy. Chechens and russian special forces are equal to our best. But the army is ” a bunch of drunks, with no training, no discipline”

LOWER VERBAL ABILITY AND THE CONSEQUENCES
by Liam Eddy
Lower verbal ability is due to the structure of the brain. The recognition of feeling occurs in the left hemisphere while the ability to speak is governed in the right. When there is a little cross over between the hemispheres alexithymia is common.
Common in the people who demonstrate alexithymia are executive function defects.
What happens when a person who cannot label their emotions, with little executive function (Impulse control etc), is in a public environment?
Opportunity leads to crime.
Frustration leads to aggression.

ALEXITHYMIA: the inability to identify and describe one’s emotions. Dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relations.

Overhearing local (older) democratic activists both with state employment in their histories, talking about how corporations don’t pay their fair share.
I dunno. I think voting should require passing an economics exam, three children, a home, and military service.
This is Connecticut for chrissake. Its the state most hostile to business in America. The state with the worst drivers. It’s one sh-t hole from springfield MA to the border of Fairfield county. Hartford, Meriden, Danbury, Waterbury, New Haven, Bridgeport.
People escape connecticut other than fairfield like they escape detroit.
Seriously, I can feel the intelligence dissipating around me like the space vampires in “Lifeforce”.

My understanding is that men cheat but rarely defect. Women cheat and more frequently defect. The reason being that other than novelty and cost of access, women are marginally indifferent in utility. Whereas other than novelty, men are marginally different in utility. Most of the time, people cheat for novelty, test of sexual market value, and retaliation.
Economics in everything.

INCOME DIFFERENCES
Specialization in truth, calculation, competition, risk, and winning conflicts is more of a competitive advantage at the top of the organization.
Salary Differences are most often (a) that specialization, and (b) loyalty payments.

I like the idea of creating a ‘soccer club’ the purpose of which has very little to do with soccer, and a whole lot to do with hooliganism and training to fight. lol

Given the age of the universe, the number of generations of stars necessary to create fundamental elements, the time it took to produce simple life on earth, the relative pacifism of our region of space, and the strangely beneficial acceleration of evolution due to catastrophes, it is just more likely that we are either the first or one of the first complex life forms. Now, given the rather rapid rate at which we developed technology once crossing the linguistic and intellectual chasm, means that assuming a life form can continue to harness increasing amounts of energy, it’s possible that there are others, and it’s possible that there are others ahead of us. But I am increasingly convinced that if such life exists, their means of using that energy is not yet available to us – we are still too early in our understanding of the universe. That said, I think it is even more likely that we’re very early.
