It does not. The data "came to me" in that it was in something else I was reading for purpose; I did not seek it out.

This , in turn, generates scenarios that would have been inconceivable yesterday.
I often feel like the character Benny Noakes in a John Brunner novel> He is out of his mind on hallucinogens, sits in front of a TV watching the news and constantly utters the phrase, "Christ, what an imagination I've got." All this "stuff" is so weird, so extreme, it beggars explanation or sense making — it must be my imagination. A bit of Marcus's fatalism, 'people gonna do what they do', some vestige of I told you so, no pleasure. davew On Sat, Sep 19, 2020, at 5:20 PM, [email protected] wrote: > And why does this give you pleasure? > > Nicholas Thompson > Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology > Clark University > [email protected] > https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ > > > > *From:* Friam <[email protected]> *On Behalf Of *Prof David West > *Sent:* Saturday, September 19, 2020 4:41 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [FRIAM] hot time in town tonight > > Epoch Times Big Data Report August 2020 > > Gun sales up 133% over same three month time frame of 2019. > > 12 % of registered Democrats bought guns this period > 19% of Republicans > 22% of those ages 18-29 > 21% Black > 32% Union Members > 19% Urbanites > 19% of those earning over $200K/yr > 1.8 million guns sold in July alone > more than 423 million fire arms owned by civilians > 18 million AR-15 in circulation *(personal comment — probably just as many > illegal full auto kits)* > gun to people ration 5/3 > > That's the gasoline.
