  2. Larger brains are frequently found in social species, leading to the supposition that sociality is a driver of brain size. Based on evaluation of cephalopods, a new paper argues that environmental complexity, not social factors, are responsible for brain size in these organisms.

  12. Why Boston?

    The most important part of the novaTop, geoTop, and futoTop identities alike is access to the City of Boston, in particular because of quite a few attractions and points of interest. In the City of Boston, the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and largest and social hub for the entirety of New England, numerous intersecting places of interest converge into a singular stream of identity. However, even outside of Boston proper, similarly diverse, multifaceted, and […]

  17. "The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

  22. Why rejoice in the misfortune of others

    One way to feel my social status improving is if someone else lowers theirs. And so, when I see someone mess up in ways that cause them to lose face, and thus lose social status, I can feel a burst of satisfaction as my own status is raised, at no cost to me.

  32. How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?

    "The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."
