The Libertarian asks, “What's the difference between Micro and Macro?”
An honest and accurate if somewhat simplistic answer is: “Micro is about individual behavior and is largely unpredictable. Macro is about collective phenomena that are predicted statistically with great precision.”
Lib is horrified by the word collective. “I reject that answer. Statistics are bullshit!
“Are you indoctrinated so deeply that I've touched the amygdalae? Do you flee from and fight the truth at once?”
Conditioned thought-emotion responses to words and concepts are frequent in my experience dating back more than 50 years. The programmed American [most Americans] will not think about anything that may be construed to challenge the rule of the rich or their right to dominate our lives for their own well being. We don't often embrace the thought that they prosper by hard work of others in the community that they manage indirectly through their corporate simulacra. We're programmed to believe their own hard work and ingenuity is responsible for all the wealth they own or control, though it would be physically impossible for an individual to make so much. The thought that they are a danger to the community of the Human Race that creates their wealth is not even permitted among the ruling class themselves.
Are we programmed to be stupid?

Good opening statement - very much including: The thought that they are a danger to the community of the Human Race that creates their wealth is not even permitted among the ruling class themselves

Merely shooting bastards will not suffice. Elimination from the gene pool because they're a threat to life on the Planet Earth will work for me.

Applied Darwinism "for" Society???

Not just survival of a species ( no not feces "they" are causing the problems ) but of a whole world as well.
Introductory (trick) question:
Is the habit of eating ones own ( as well as everything else in sight ) a good specie survival trait?

Well lets hope the experiment is ended prior to it ending the world.

Measured in microns? Or subatomic? Cause things are gonna get pretty nasty from here on out to recovery - IF - we fixed everything today!
Will we just nicker ( nacker? nip? nip ) by by the radius of a quark?

It will be a hellacious world to survive in if "all" of the Ice melts.

Good comment - but I think that we have already been through the hiatus. That was the period following the major activity of environmental groups which really started to come into their own in the 60's.

Very true - the assholes that are fighting for continued use of fossil fuel figure that they will be dead before it gets really nasty - WRONG.

That's appealing. I thought stop breeding in the '60s. Then I realized the only people who would have enough sense to do it are the one's who should breed. And the most inhumane would claim the Earth as their prize with no one to protest the win.
