Why are these camps of billionaires fighting? (see below)
And why are the 99% fighting among themselves, instead of coordinating?
What part of situational awareness isn't obvious to all of these people?
After all, they are ALL products of our reknowned education system!
Weepin' Buddha on an incline! We have to work hard to keep ourselves this collectively stupid. It's seems highly improbable that this could happen by accident - yet it's always been this way. The hardest thing in the world to come by seems to be perspective - and especially the property of not fighting it when it knocks on your door. When we have group options expanding at an exponential rate, let's just agree to ignore 'em one and all, and instead take another swing at the mirror? Are we really in agreement?
Interview Transcript: Greg Palast: The War Between the Billionaires, And Election Theft
Part one of an interview with Greg Palast, about the book Billionaires and Ballot Bandits. There's a war between two kinds of billionaires-- The Vampire Squids and the Vultures. And yes, this affects the elections and the nine ways they are going to be stolen and corrupted.
We better hope there really is a Bozone Layer. Otherwise, we might trigger the next Little Whimper.

Dunbar's number should be DUMBar's number? Is social complexity vastly out pacing the development of the neocortex?
Worse yet, Tom, social complexity is acceleratiang faster than our cultural-cortex is.
The group-intelligence of an organization is literally held in it's body of existing discourse - and CANNOT ever be captured by any individual component alone.
NET-intelligence indeed! It only nets if everyone talks to everyone, and compares alternate super-patterns delivering survival in various situations.
ps: Various social technologies, and organizational states, define the Social-Agility limits, not any particular feature of our cortex.
Dunbar's # is a bit of an over-simplified concept. In general, social practices reduce net computing demand on individuals, thereby allowing the neocortx to actually be smaller in increasingly social versions of the same species.
That would explain why Neanderthal cortex is actually as large or larger than ours, not to mention the fact that the Sperm Whale neocortex is way larger than ours. (Elephants too?)
" allowing the neocortx to actually be smaller in increasingly social versions of the same species"
Yes but if that is the part of the brain where higher order functions take place, such as math and logic, this would seem to create a vulnerability or perhaps a "blind spot" for the species no?
Ignacio has some data where when faced with some sort of contradiction, certain humans brain neocortex do a shutdown...
This looks like in semantic people, they get "locked in" to a particular pattern of words... then when they are faced or confronted with an assault on that word pattern, they shut the neocortex down and go "fight or flight"....
This is just how David Walker has reacted to Mike in the 2 times Mike has been able to confront Walker with the truth, via a "pattern of words" that Walker was led NOT to believe... Walker just took flight (not fight).... interesting...

They're called Austrian Libertarians? :)
So named for a proclivity to stick their head down south, then try to abruptly head north.
