That does look like a cage full of chimps escaping. Keep in mind that males have to cope with a Y chromosome and also a big excess of testosterone. Even so, it's men who win at all the rational activities, be it chess, supersonic mathematics to invent General Theory of Relativity, Fourier transforms to invent CDMA and all the technology which carries it, building rockets to the Moon and pretty much everything else. While a LOT of males contribute to the list of world class Darwin Awards, and there has historically been a high turnover of males compared with females as shown by the fact that the father of all non-Africans left Africa only about 25,000 years ago while the mother of all non-Africans left Africa more like 90,000 years ago, the drives propelling them on to manic proportions are the same drives which lead some to succeed where none have gone before. If a few males can find a way through a deadly dangerous obstacle course but the other 90% die in the attempt, that's still good odds because the few can lead the females to the promised land and they can pretty soon assist the females to reproduce a whole lot more males. Admittedly it's not quite that simple but that's the basic idea. The conventional wisdom these days is to claim that women can do anything men can do, but that is not true. Of course the dopiest men are vastly inferior to the average woman, but theories of relativity and the like are not invented by average anyone. Mqurice

People is a HW whose SW are chemicals. Depending on the chemicals released by the brain -based on the inputs into its sensors- a person can act kindly. Madly. Intelligent or stupid. What we call normal, is when the chemicals present are just the ones that keeps us going based on our culture taught us.

For example. Just by reading a Redneck my brain start releasing some chemicals that makes me tell the guy exactly what the is. Why that? My brain has profiles store in there. He knows what this kind of people are because the person displays some characteristics by talking, by the way they dress, by the way they enter a room, heir level of education what life he has been living and also by the ideas he has and writes about. Just staying with the profile of a simple entity. The Redneck. It has band within which we can classify from troglodyte Redneck to 'civilized right Redneck'. TROGLODYTE: The ones who has two guys for him, one for his wife and one for his daughter. Votes republican. Hates bases military bases being closed. Knows nothing about international affairs, works for the government. Worst presidents are Obama and Jimmy Carter, Kennedy. Hates immigrants. Truman, Reagan, Bush sr. and Bush Jr. CIVILIZED RIGHT REDNECK: The ones who has only one gun at home. Has a degree. Donates money to the Republican party. Knows a little about international affairs. Work for the private sector albeit for company (Boeing, Motorola) whose business depends on government contracts. Tolerates immigrants.
