very insteresting. the formation of in- and out-groups also has to do with want, or need, when demand is bigger than supply. and as kids my parents taught us not to blindly follow others if they'd do silly stuff and they used the example of lemmings jumping off a cliff to make us understand. although the bit about the lemmings apparently isn't true, we (sort of) got the message and learnt how to recognise manipulation.
The 'establishment' initially used their (supposed) AUTHORITY as a pretence of 'knowledge & care' for their communities. The public accepted the scaremongering over something, no more dangerous than Flu. Made Covid into 'Armageddon' and used the fear they generated to control, imprison and mask up the population (those that couldn't join dots). LIABILITY used to discipline the safety of drugs and medicines, but BIG PHARMA negotiated a 'truce' in 1976. 46 years ago, it was a 'TEMPORARY' solution to a previous exaggerated 'Swine Flu' but after the 'EXPERIMENTAL' Swine Flu Vax killed 50+ Americans, the project was shut down for being "TOO DANGEROUS". This time Big Pharma still pretend they have IMMUNITY from thousands of Vax DEATHS caused by their injected poison. LIABILITY MUST RETURN IMMEDIATELY! Mick from Hooe (UK) - Unjabbed to fight on!
as sad as it is exactly the same way science works, including the best universities.... Two postdocs get the same topic not knowing about it, except for the boss, who takes the best from each of them and 'directs' the outcome, all what counts is who is the fastest... That's why science is so divided, so limited, so hated..
I think the ones who came up with this experiment ought face Lady Libra because she holds the scales.
I think the ones who came up with the latest experiment, just on a larger scale, ought face justice one way or the other.
Be it a court of law or the law of the jungle.

I suspect Jesus might say, turn the other cheek, but I think that was intended on an individual level. I suspect Jesus would be offended by these psychologic experiments especially being they gone large-scale lately. I suspect Justified Retribution is on the way......but I could be wrong.

Had I been one of the boys at the camp, I would said "fuck it" right off and then went into town to find a perty girl to talk some smack to.....that is how I would like to imagine it....but you know this kids, at that age, they are very permeable in mind. Truly saddened me to read this and thanks for that....I'll read the rest later maybe....

This is an excellent teaching tool for all people.

Great writing!

2024 on Substack is off to a cracking start! Great essay, Underdog!
Excellent! One of my favorites from your stack.
"How To Be Perfect" (and a little extra)
I sent this to one of my last remaining friends the other day. I say friend because he is, but we've never met in "real life".
Anyway...
He responded. He always does. Eventually.
Told me he cried.
