    Better to ask when does arrogance and manipulation belong anywhere at all.

    I am not fond of Trump's best-friend.  Not at all.

  • I was reading about the pecking order of all hierarchies of living groups and agonistic behavior stuck out and is overall relevant to the overall fitness of society
    in its fighting quest for resources which I can only assume Russia does not have much access to for some yet unfathomably unknown reason yet to be found:) Thanks! This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 11, 2018 7:47 AM MST

    It seems entirely counter to the concept of ”civilized society”, yet the factions of organized religion have been trading on arrogant manipulation for ages.
    Aware of the power of this method, political parties have co-opted the technique. Eerily, the results are the same: the masses foot the cost, yet benefit little in this life.

    Well its just one of the things people do to make things better and more comfortable for themselves.  Can be a matter just of survival but writ large becomes harmful to others. There is always a tension and a matter of balance in how far it can go in a civilized or any kind of society.
