the comments on this one make me genuinely sad. it's just the crab bucket mentality and callousness all the way down.

there are literally people in there who won't have insurance just to spite those who say they should have insurance

Power, the research says, primes our brain to screen out peripheral information. In most situations, this provides a helpful efficiency boost. In social ones, it has the unfortunate side effect of making us more obtuse. Even that is not necessarily bad for the prospects of the powerful, or the groups they lead.

Power is a good thing actually even though you go clinically smoothbrained I guess

dawg I've got a preexisting condition, which under ACHA means my employer could choose to just say 'gently caress it' and I'll go bankrupt. I feel your pain.

seriously how little respect does fox and friends have for its audience to know they would believe there was welfare as we know it in 1917, or the same concept of "illegal aliens", or that it is currently legal for them to be on welfare

... about as much respect as they deserve, i guess

if you think about it, if brain damage is the defining characteristic of power, that means reagan was the most presidential president ever (until trump)

I don't know what to tell you except I hope to whatever higher power exists that the AHCA doesn't happen. It's easy to forget how many innocent people will be hurt by what many consider to be "just politics", and it's just incredibly depressing.

This really is the dumbest take.
1) It's not a binary. It's not like I can only discuss Russia or everything else. Turns out I can be concerned by many things. Up to three things in fact.
2) Strategically, the Russia stuff is a tremendous gift because it delegitimizes the pee babby's predisency (for a real, non-conspiracy bullshit reason), and guess what? Delegitimizing works (for an example, check out the presidency of Barack Obama).
3) Most importantly, the Russia stuff is important because justice should absolutely be pursued. In fact, the Democrats would do a lot of good for society if they repositioned themselves as the "tough on crime that matters" party, and sought to aggressively go after the wealthy who routinely sexually assault people, destroy our economy for an extra yacht or two, and collude with foreign rivals.

Basically stop huffing your own farts if you want to deoperationalize your hypernormalization

quote:

Is there nothing to be done?

No and yes. It’s difficult to stop power’s tendency to affect your brain. What’s easier—from time to time, at least—is to stop feeling powerful.

Insofar as it affects the way we think, power, Keltner reminded me, is not a post or a position but a mental state. Recount a time you did not feel powerful, his experiments suggest, and your brain can commune with reality.
