Imagine how maddening it is to have a million random thoughts swirling through your brain and you can't execute on any of them unless you "feel" like it. It's life changing to have (better) control of executive functioni

"One man and a thousand women is a potential civilization, whereas one woman and a thousand men is a horror movie." Very well put. "Men, therefore, must strive very hard for 'best'" Aren't I getting a less

Being merely poor sucks in an environment that is stacked to keep you down by merely ENVIRONMENTAL means. Not even propoganda. As I said before, if you eat substandard food, don't give your body stress in manageable amounts (exercise),
