That's a can of worms. Just population density alone has been proven, decades ago...to cause us to "go crazy". We can't do like the Chinese did and force population control....but we don't have to reward bigger families with more tax deductions - we're encouraging growth, for growth's sake; and that, in turn, is making more Psychotic. But I'm glad you support the training strategy. Even Obama suggested that. It would employ thousands of vets - but there has to be an incentive to buy in to training. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf

Indeed. I've heard/read that many behavior biologists say we "grow" in to being human. As our "consciousness" develops, our memories, our language skills, we sort of perform an individual "evolution" as we climb out of the mammals in to the primates...and eventually in to being "human". Just as our early embryonic stages resemble those of all vertebrates...only later do we become "human-like"...some scientists (myself included) say we are not born human.... https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2016/07/13/biologically-speaking-this-is-why-humans-are-born-to-die/#4cf9d0fb4a48

What the heck are these supposed seven centers of consciousness? How does this author define or conceptualize consciousness?

Robecology replies on Jan 31, 2019:

It's been a Yoga/hindu "thing for millennia..basically it starts with a primitive "survival" or "security" level (they call it Chakra) and then it goes to a need for touch/feeling (sensation), then attention/affection, then power, etc. I'll google it for you and show you the link; The idea is to leave the lower chakras behind, not have a desperate "need" for them, so much as a "preference" for them (that allows you to "be without" without suffering). It's pretty logical, and makes sense once you study it. http://consciouspanda.com/the-seven-centers-of-consciousness/

@bigpawbullets I have total respect for anyone who debates without name-calls or profanities. It's been a major trigger point for at least one divorce - mom taught me young to avoid profanity (the sign of a weak mind). Having said that; I never served; but had friends who I know and am close to 50 years later (including a Purple Heart). I admire their courage to serve; they admired my desire to teach and keep the '"essential personnel" deferment. I taught every level; from pre-K in a foster home (all kids never adopted...struggling with personality disorders) to adult men in prison. Had a TV cable show for a few months "Cornucopia" - a health-oriented show. 1st wife died young....cancer from far too potent birth control pills. Divorced the next 3. Single now and happily so.

The adaptive Cruise control is enough of a help (vibrates if you're out of lane/too close to other cars - and slows - even stops - if the car in front of you does - that's plenty of extra safety I've never had before.

And all he did was point out the hypocrisy of the rampant criticisms of Harris dating a "married" man 20 years ago - compared to the absurd relationships that Conservatives tolerate from our POTUS. Let's debate the hypocrisy, not the fact that he was, or is, a "disgruntled Star Trek actor". We need to clean up conservatism.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I do think you've nailed it better than most. It's just that I live alone. I haven't met anyone who's interesting enough to pursue....so I keep letting her back in to my life. I'm making progress; let's call it "baby steps" in closing this chapter of my life. Thanks for your comments and support.

@MerlinZap Don't take me wrongly; I have gay friends...and even hosted a gay wedding once, decades ago. As I said, (IMO) he's far too gay for most mainstream folk. His message is brilliant - he's very talented. I can see him writing a hit broadway play soon.

The comment is actually a bit naive. If You're making $174K a year, it's really quite easy to have over a million $$ in assets. Having said that; the graph....and past history...suggests our representatives don't "represent" the average American very well.

@Trajan61 #1...I like to debate. #2. My goal isn’t to “convert” - it’s to educate. Knowledge = power, #3. I started as a conservative; in many ways I’m a “classic conservative; I prefer minimal regulations, simpler taxation, and research for all bills proposed...that’s classic conservatives. I feel bad/sorry for the Neo-conservatives who came over to the conservative side with their racism and xenophobia, and their desire to ignore the research on climate change; that’s not what classic conservatives do. I won’t comment on the “no evidence whatsoever about Trump and Russia - you’re just not looking at all the arrests that have been made and all the evidence being laid out. I don’t agree with the “sore loser” name tag...Hillary was a weak candidate - and women of power scare too many insecure men - and she didn’t recognize that. It’s still not time for a woman to lead the U.S.....it’s still a man’s domain, even though I support the woman’s equality movement. Thanks for taking the time to discuss and debate.

If you both agree it’s time; then it’s one court appearance, and done. When you finally move in to that new apartment, and get one or more of the kids to hang with you on a regular basis...you’ll look back at this mess and say - “why did I wait so long”.!!

Robecology replies on Jan 28, 2019:

That’s the problem; people see/read the meme, and believe she said that. She never said that. And don’t be shocked...she doesn’t believe it will happen. She’s an optimist and she’s out to re-direct America. .what she does believe is that big money in America has worked hard to minimize and just plain lie and/or cover up the damaging and irreversible effects of our growing use of fossil fuels. They want to keep us addicted, because it means more profits for them . They don’t care about future generations; she does.

The stupidity, it hurts!!! Her repeating Al Gore's failed lies and applying them to the future again is testimony to her stupidity.

I can't believe she will last. Her emotion versus truth makes me sick.
