The first brain research was post hoc lesion analysis. They'd find someone who couldn't do something, then when they died, they'd dissect their brain, to find out what areas were abnormal. In that way, areas of the brain were not named functionally, but after discoverers.
There's a natural process of genetic deselection that ultimately makes the herd stronger and environmental conditions more sustainable, through death and extinction. Politicians on both sides capitalize on alarmism and hysteria, over ecological inevitabilities.
If you are stupid with motorcycles, power tools, or contact sports, you can ruin your life. Most Americans don't want to ban those things, because they are considered intrinsic to our cultural identity. Our government isn't supposed to take cultural sides, though.
Think about the ecology of the iron lung. What if need for that became widespread? Should there be an iron lung or bubble boy dating site? How many people in iron lungs can Mother Earth bear, spewing toxic fumes?
From a Darwinist point of view, any environmental hazard is an evolutionary stressor. Point being: do you really want those who can't survive it in the gene pool?
The establishment wants to watch with popcorn the stupids destroy themselves in all-American ways, but rest assured: it's not ecologically possible to make every fool immortal, and indulge their every whim. Hence, their deaths are no tragedy.
My gaming PC probably uses more electricity than my air conditioner, so I can kill people thousands of miles away, while I'm killing people thousands of miles away.
'I'm doing good in the game, so I'm doing good, in real life.'
When you're young, you're dealing with untested people, and you probably don't know how they're gonna turn out.
When you're older, it's all-too-obvious how people have turned out.
'Due to your unrealistic expectations, you'll be alone forever.'
Why do you expect me to value and pursue social connections that drain and discard me, for any reason, other than endogenous chemicals, which lose their efficacy, over a lifespan?
Most collectivists are classists, whose MO includes: finding someone wealthier than themselves, robbing him, gaslighting him to believe his problems stem from intrinsic flaws rather than external tampering, making him dependent on the State, and complacent to his social fate.
In historical retrospect, collectivism is a clever firm of class warfare, enabling administrators to cull the best for themselves, and make most settle for less than they deserve. They want you to be charitable, especially socially, bit they are not.
