What a coincidence ;) I'm looking forward to even more exposure to today's somewhat leaded aviation gas as I contribute to the transition being made to alternative fuels. I'll use that as an excuse any time I need to behave more erratically ;) >sustainable growth could have continued for a few hundred years (and possibly have lead to a better system) Yes, I did the math when I was a teenager. But both of these impending eventualities did not look like they would ever be recoverable after Nixon was there for not that long a time. I guess I was right, and here we are :\ This is not what my father fought in World War II for, and the whole country went through, just to end up in deeper debt [0], with more irrational leadership than so-called shitholes, and failing to remain orders of magnitude richer than China :( As we go along, a lot of 21st century financial things that might have been recoverable just a few years ago are slipping out of reach faster each day now. Sooner or later the bottom rung of this modern ladder will be out-of-reach and not coming back either. [0] When the only reason for any debt at all is a temporary situation like the need to vanquish authoritarian dictators who need it so bad that freedom-loving Americans just can't stand it any more.

im not entirely sure that i parsed your smileys/double negations/insinuations as intended ... the irrational aspect was agreeing with psychopaths , those psychopaths will always exist and will not be kept in check by anything except for community enforced morality. the west honed a beautiful set of morals for thousands of years , then proceeded to throw those morals in the bin because tv said so. id feel bad for the west , however this does bring up the conundrum - is a propagandized (or otherwise hypnotized) populace liable for their own actions ?

  Toxic materials can make you real wacky, but that has nothing to do with anything psychopathic. Unless somebody puts some effort into combining the two, which does happen. Psychopaths would have done damage whether they were affected by chemicals or not. Now you do bring up a major conundrum which many people may not want to face at all, and would not know what to think no matter if it was true or false. You make a legitimate observation whether that is coming from outside the USA or from freedom-loving Americans.

    our viewpoints make a good discussion but our communication protocols arent properly matching up. i was trying to make the point that you just did - being fried in the head would increase the likelihood of silly decisions in all types of humans. one such example of a silly decision was collectively deleting rules designed to keep psychopaths in check, at the behest of psychopaths. thanks for chatting man, all the best

      Now it's very clear. I new you were very sensible the whole time :) peyton is right, and it's worth it to put in the effort to improve communication

    You completely missed GP’s point. It is very difficult to talk to many people of your generation. Flat art and flat people. Tetraethyllead may be a culprit.
