Behavior of mammals

[Non sequitur]

John B Calhoun mouse and rat utopia experiments are being realized throughout modern society. Instead of being fulfilled by abundance, man becomes lost and depressed when the individual pursuit of excellence is abandoned and feelings of entitlement are encouraged.

What Humans Can Learn from Calhoun's Rodent Utopia

Very interesting. I remember these studies from years ago.
Humans are animals and are mirroring these results over the last 4-5 decades.

I think we havent reached the top yet but close. I think the birth rate in the US has fallen to 1.8 which means exactly what Calhoun says.....but we replenish our population with immigration. Birth rates are down all over the world.

The Earth is also reacting to the harm that mankind causes. The pollution, deforestation , etc by unleashing these population diminishing acts like viruses. We will see a lot more of this.

Actually I am rooting for the Earth to shake us off like a flea on a dog or WW3 that will cause a life ending episode on Earth which has happened several times in 4 billion years of Earth's existence.

We effed up paradise .

Scientists have surmised that there were intelligent cultures millions of years ago that ended due to some event like an asteroide or a nuclear war.

It only takes 10,000 years for the Earth to recover from an event like this.

I'll start becoming worried when rats actually become extinct in the real world and not someones labatory. Rats and cockroaches are survivors. you cant kill em.

It's not the result of rat and mouse experiments that concern me. Rat and mouse psychology is not that great an analog for human psychology. What I'm concerned about is the fact that the experiments are being conducted on people.

Pathetic moment woke Yale law students try to shut down panel event on FREE SPEECH over presence of conservative 1A advocate with screams of 'I'll literally fight you b*tch' and 'Protect trans kids'​

• Nearly 120 Yale Law School students revolted during a free speech debate last week because they didn't like conservative panelist Kristen Waggoner
• The students screamed profanities at Waggoner, including one who threatened they would 'literally fight you, buddyh'
• They also chanted 'protect trans kids' and 'shame, shame' throughout the law school building after police officers escorted the speakers out of the building
• After exiting the event they began to stomp, shout, clap, sing and pound on the hall walls
• The protesters alleged their actions were execution of free speech despite the fact that they violated university policies regarding free speech

I'm sad to say I won't be around when the Russians invade and beat their skulls to a pulp for being too disrespectful.

Our enemies will try and invade us sooner than later...

Weakest points are in the middle.

Russia isn't a threat.
Heck, they can't even beat Ukraine .
Which has costed them 1/5th of their armed forces.

they're quickly losing their status as a super power.

Russia is the least of the worries..

But with allies...

People tend to get ambitious.

True...

I hate to say it, but...

With our current status...

We are sorts in the same boat
