But it actually true that that is why Trump won. People would prefer magical thinking to actual hard choices about what a government does and is supposed to do. People are wholly ignorant of how their entire way of life depends on a reasonably strong and competent federal government, so they vote for the party that explicitly says the Government is bad. Because they are stupid. So he's right for exactly the wrong reason. That's why Trump got elected.

I'm looking at the Buffalo Bayou livestream and the water level is a heck of a lot lower than yesterday, I'm really hoping this is at the very least going to provide enough of a lull in the water to prevent a total collapse of the major levees and dams. But honestly I lost track of what was going on since early last night, if there's something big that I'm missing I'd rather be informed than ignorant.

Caros posted:My grandfather died before I was old enough to really know him, but he left behind a bunch of his world war stuff. A few years ago I took it to one of the royal museums in Ontario and asked them to make sense of it. So your grandfather bombed my grandmother in Dresden. What a small world... She recalls being in a few bombings and having to escape rubble one time. Also remembers fleeing the Russians fearful of what they might do. One of her friends apparently hung herself rather than succumb to the invading Russians. My grandfather whom she married was a US serviceman in WWII. No idea what he did, he killed himself just after I was born. The topic of him is something that never really seems to be something that is brought up. If in-laws count then my grandfather-in-law never returned from the eastern front fighting with the Soviet army. A great uncle-in-law shoot himself to end his time on the eastern front (he lived and went unpunished as far as I gather). Had one great uncle at Pearl Harbor when Japan attacked, another that was a POW in Italy and somehow escaped.

Prester Jane posted:PTSD is created by surviving a severely traumatic experience. It doesn't really matter what the cause or context of that experience was too much. I do wonder if psychologically, people before the advant of agriculture were wired a little differently, as they experienced unremitting hardship, trauma and violence for their entire lives. Did they just become desensitized to it? Otherwise, you'd think PTSD would be an impedement to survival.

Otherwise, you'd think PTSD would be an impedement to survival. more likely that they all had PTSD and died young e: oh you said before agriculture. actually being a hunter gatherer is pretty awesome in many ways and one of the big questions about early human history is why and how the transition to agriculture took place given that early agriculture does indeed suck

boner confessor posted:more likely that they all had PTSD and died young According to most research, hunter-gatherer societies, as compared to modern and even early agricultural ones, tended to have constant territorial warfare and horrendous boom/bust cycles due to having almost no resilience against bad years, overhunting, and so on. The evidence to the contrary mostly comes down to a couple of studies where researchers went and lived among a modern and relatively isolated hunter-gatherer society during a plentiful couple weeks of a good year and concluded this was the norm.
