Aha, I'd originally confused your D with the DISC Directness. Paul's subaltern comment reminded me strongly of "Life of Brian": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WboggjN_G-4&t=92s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WboggjN_G-4&t=92s Re: Rao, I found that I had to deliberately read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Civilization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Civilization in small chunks with large breaks, because otherwise it all blurs together in terms of being a bunch of h saps being awful to each other. More specifically to his introduction, one can see big differences in the "tournament" between say 1250 and 1500: over that period they go from being a sort of open wargame with a racing-for-pinkslips feel played over the several km of hill and dale between villages, to a sport played in an enclosed pitch in front of an audience, limited to vetted entrants with the appropriate gear.

No (or yes..?) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44477779 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44477779 Those 2 sets of aggregated data seem to correlate (cross-validate?), but I haven't checked numerically, hoped for some input from Paul first So far, his website link seems VERY sus :) narcissists/sadists are forced (try?) to be indirect, *but* also fair worse in "high-context", does that mechanism make sense? (Come to think of it, Ireland makes sense now-- that HN post of sick graph pairs also comes to mind) So-- you might disagree-- that's something [not puppy-/goldfish-like] that I am alright with leaving in the centrifuge (for) now ;)
