[FRIAM] do animals psychologize?

[Marcus Daniels]

Wouldn't a social person aim to mitigate the stupidity, along the lines the of the resistance within the White House?
Or is there some reason it is best to bore on ahead with the stupidity?   Because it is undemocratic or just because it is a bother?

    Ha!  When I was in college, I distracted myself from my failings at electrical engineering ... and my failure to grok topology by reading the University of Chicago's Ethics: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/et/current.  One  issue had an essay on "Killing versus Letting Die".  I remember reading it while walking to "Electronic Properties of Materials", a 1st world privilege if there ever was one.  I forget the issue and the author ... and even the content.  But I can say I think stealing and releasing a deadly virus is somehow different from letting people kill themselves with their own stupidity. >8^D
