i don't see this as conflicting with what I said. democracy is "rule by fools." the hope is that fools are sufficiently varied, uninformed and lazy enough that their delusions cancel one another out, allowing the estranged whispers of sensibility to flutter in through the void. unfortunately social media, information technology, nihilism and declining mean IQs are swatting the gnat of reason before it even has a chance to hatch.

Do you think easy safe luxurious lives full of delicious carbs and fats lower the mean IQ generationally and cause us to breed or shift natural selection to effectively store mass at the loss of functional brain capacity and motor control?

There seems to be a bottle neck on the size of an animal and its ratio to its brain size.

I think our ancestors really hit this apex and sacrificed a lot of sheer strength and mass an fat storage to maintain the most advanced and developed nervous system and fine motor control. This is when classical music broke on the scene.

It seems if an animal develops too rapidly or stores a lot of fat it limits their potential brain development because it has to divert most of its metabolism away from maintaining a very hungry and active nervous system into expensive growth and storage systems.

Oddly enough, modern humans are typically 20% leaner in BMI than apes and whales. But all this seems to be changing because it's incredibly easy to maintain a BMI over 40%

Squids and octopi are sort of an exception to the general biological rules of brain development mammals are limited by. Not sure how or why.

i know why octopi are exceptions

but i'm not telling

When his need is met, he finds new need. He is driven to progress and when he is set at a starting point well beyond all tangible progress, he is compelled to fabricate deficiency such that he might strive to overcome it or be damned to the malaise of nihilism.

That is where your quote and Islam are right. There is great release in surrender. That is not to say that man harbors some latent desire for mistreatment or abuse. To the contrary, each of us want to be cared for, to be valued and used in the way that we are best. For some, that means freedom of choice, using others to their fullest potential. For others, it is freedom from choice, being used to one's fullest potential. We glorify the former, while scoffing at the latter. Contemporary American individualism is the bane of happiness.

Freedom or Security: Pick one and enjoy the ride.
