@JLerubako40 @News24 You seem to be 'doing' black men already, so no need.

@JLerubako40 @News24 You mean the way they tried, convicted and jailed white murderers like Jason Rhode, Rob Packham, Christopher Panayiotou, Oscar Pistorius, and white farmers Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte? Grow some more brain cells.

This famous video filmed at the Sasquatch Music Festival 2009 is often shown in corporations, team working classes, because it actually shows an interesting aspect in psychology: the role of leading with a example (even if weird) and imitation.

This paper answers why psychopaths keep ending up as CEOs and politicians.

Researchers mapping out the mechanics of "successful psychopathy" found that corporate capitalism and modern political selection systems are not neutral.

They are hyper-efficient filtering machines.

And they are specifically optimized to select for the exact traits normal people find repulsive.

Normal leaders are constrained by empathy, guilt, and long-term risk aversion. They hesitate when a decision hurts people. They feel the weight of collateral damage.

Psychopaths don’t have an emotional brake pedal.

When a company or a political party needs someone to ruthlessly slash budgets, fire thousands of people, bluff through a crisis, or project absolute, unshakeable confidence, normal candidates stutter.

Psychopaths step right up.

Their superficial charm, pathological fearlessness, and total lack of remorse look identical to "strong leadership" during an interview or a campaign.

They weaponize corporate chaos. While everyone else is panicking, they ruthlessly manipulate the narrative, step over their peers, and take credit for the wins.

They weaponize charisma to dazzle the board or the voters, and hide their emptiness behind a mask of high performance.

The system rewards the ruthlessness, promotes them to the top, and punishes anyone who tries to slow them down with ethics.

The researchers call it a feedback loop of structural decay.

Corporations and governments built an environment where being entirely devoid of a conscience isn't a disqualifier.

It’s a competitive advantage.

@DirkdeVos @hlubizer https://t.co/GzVlY7dgoC Over hundreds of years, shipwreck survivors married into the tribes of the Wild Coast. Of European, Asian & Indian origin, their descendants remain, today, part of the local tribes.
Perhaps why Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's mother had red hair & blue eyes.

An aquarium in Japan changed the diet of its penguins and otters due to rising costs, and the animals started to refuse to eat the cheaper fish

The invisible Glass experiment

Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium.

On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely.

When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack.

Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back.

Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way.

The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank.

After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth.

But the pike never tried to eat them again.

Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there.

A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome.

It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

These two giant tortoises have been fighting for over 120 years.

According to the zoo, there hasn't been a single day that they haven't been fighting for quite some time.
