The Neuro-Cognitive Wisdom Of George Costanza

Given that cognitive scientists believe that up to 95% of our thinking processes are unconscious, with our 400 million year old lizard brain dominating our half million year old rational brain; given that the lizard brain has as its number one priority the perpetuation of the species (demonstrated in males by the power that the little head exercises over the big head), buttressed by the emotions of hate, anger, and racial stereotyping that fuels male dominance power games over each other and the planet at large; given that the most successful 24 hour cable media news outlet, Fux News, derives its wealth from exploiting that unfair and unbalanced relationship, should we really be surprised by the current degenerative state of political discourse we find ourselves in?

Just asking.
