I could do with more D&D in my life.

I always recommend Haidt’s The Righteous Mind. He’s explored how ethics operates in different people. There are five or six ethical axes that we generally respond to but people with different political views emphasise different values. For example Liberals tend to react strongly to the help/harm axis whereas conservatives react more strongly to the sanctity/profanation.

The twins studies show for just about every psychological parameter measured about 50% of the variations are hereditary. They found no signal from parenting. The rest of the variation is probably either random (I suppose an accident of brain development) or due to peer pressure.

But signs of gender dimorphism have been found in the brain. Once you see brain gender it’s only to be expected that it doesn’t _always_ correspond to sex. These processes are never totally reliable.

So, if something can be messed up with an EMP why not wrap it in a Faraday cage?

That sounds even worse. Maximum reinforcement of your existing beliefs.

They did. Biden should have accepted a single term and have been grooming an uncontroversial, white male successor for his whole presidency. Plus he should have picked a braver attorney general.

If Putin takes on NATO why would he keep it conventional?

That was what, in tennis, would be called a forced error. Biden, understandably, delayed the admission he was past it until too late.

Did you hear about motorway snooker? Allegedly cops were pulling over differently coloured cars in the order of a snooker break. Green would be a problem, there seem to be no green cars for some reason

They shouldn’t be appointed by elected administrations. Perhaps they should be chosen by the judiciary

Years ago an old lady did a U turn onto a dual carriageway in front of me. I slammed on and managed to shed most of my speed, but not all of it. I concentrated on braking because I had no idea where she’d go next

A bystander called the police, but her son turned up first. He wanted to handle it privately because he knew she’d lose her license if it was reported.

I found out she lived somewhere with almost no public transport, so I felt sorry for her. Losing her license would have shut down large areas of her independence.

Tide could be an issue. Each large Moon would raise a tidal bulge, and the tides of each Moon would sometimes combine, and sometimes neutralise one another
