Near Portland this weekend? A lot of authors and vendors will be at the Maine Book & Print Fest 26, at the old Brick South railroad venue at Thompson's Point, Sat/Sun, 10 am - 3 pm.

Take note of the horrific bias against Francesca Hong in two media headlines, when the actual difference was 3,000 votes (0.5%) out of 600,000, and she was outspent by double from Crowley and 1,200% by the Republican Governor's Association. We need entirely new media!!!

This country is not going to get any better until we fix this. Faux "News", top story yesterday. How No Kings is subversive and run by communists, as found by their own, highly fact-based "investigations."

Tired of feeling depressed, like there is no sanity left in this country? You are NOT ALONE. Join us, and help change the world.

Studies show female Hermann’s tortoises in Macedonia, are walking off high cliffs to escape intense, constant sexual harassment from multiple males. This "demographic suicide" occurs because relentless male aggression—biting, bumping, and pinning—drives females to take fatal, suicidal risks.

What are the essential ideas from researchers R. Lee, M.Sahlins, and J. Suzman's concept of "original affluent societies"? We must rethink scarcity as a cultural rather than a natural product. They reframed hunter-gatherers as: economically sufficient, egalitarian, time-rich, and ecologically aware.

Hope to see some folks at the Maine Book Festival.

One of my favorite quotes from Jaak Panksepp, Affective Neuroscience (1998, p. 302) reveals "In short, our left hemisphere — the one that typically speaks to others — may be more adept at lying and constructing a social masquerade rather than revealing deep, intimate emotional secrets."

This is a scientific theory from one of the most advanced evolutionary-neural researchers who ever lived on our planet. Paul MacLean from his 700 page work - The Triune Brain in Evolution. note - the bottom-most area of human brains - our R-complexes. #evolution #triunebrain #mainelyevolution
