Trans - Teen Brain: Behavior, Problem Solving, and Decision Making.

Children are not adults! It is hard for children to face adult issues not being able to understand them really! Fear conditioning is not a good environment for making decisions about life changes with. Parents need not to carter to their child's fantasy they should really go to a Psychologist to help their child thru the hard time in their life till they get developed!

Noted in "Statutory rape is defined by statute as an act of sexual intercourse with a person under the age of consent." Can't consent they are not able adults would take advantage of a child running on guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala! To protect a child from a predator! Who is the predator the child is facing who is trying to take advantage of the child playing along with something of a fantasy? What is the age of consent for a child to do damage to their own body? Why even?

"Pictures of the brain in action show that adolescents' brains work differently than adults when they make decisions or solve problems. Their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Research has also shown that exposure to drugs and alcohol during the teen years can change or delay these developments." https://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Families/FFF-Guide/The-Teen-Brain-Behavior-Problem-Solving-and-Decision-Making-095.aspx

Nova or an endings begining!

I had a dream once coming out of a store looking up at the night sky and I saw a light get brighter in the sky. Flash to seeing a president and the vice and some people where talking about it's getting bigger after they nuked it. Sending a nuke to take out something that was coming at us, in view the issue was something like a comet coming toward us. Dream like a warning not to nuke it that would make it come at us!

"While a supernova is the explosive death of a massive star, a nova refers to the sudden, brief explosion from a collapsed star known as a white dwarf." - "Once the nova peaks in brightness, it will be as if a new star has appeared one that’s visible for a few days without any equipment and a little over a week with binoculars before it dims and disappears from sight for another 80 years or so." https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/world/t-coronae-borealis-nova-new-star-scn/index.html

Nothing bad here, another nova in the sky to look at. The point of like a natural selection over all the time in galaxy everything had time to crash or burn to be inline with a working galaxy!

Or the old Gnostic saying, If you want to know about the ending, it's where the beginning is.

Stupid with stupid makes more stupid - You cant be creative if you are fearful

Just because they are stupid doesn't mean you are to be stupid with them. There tends to be a need like a check people do sometimes looking around see how well adjusted others are than not. As in when I was in school if I had a issue I would ask the other kids and ask if this was a concern of theirs and I would write down if the ayes or neys have it. If no one is concerned then it's only a concern of mine I would let it go to get well adjusted in a positive environment.

You know nothing helps more than a labor force full of fear mongered people that never made enough money for a education with generations of family members rolling in quicksand. Hard to get out of that and so is why small towns are small they can't have anything. Can't be creative sitting there looking at the future with no future.

Mostly they need their A$$ kicked by society, to shake the nuts from the tree, forced social mobility a naturalistic point of view like in time faster than seeing a broken down 80's Ford on the side of the road with the hood up burned up force to get a better car that doesn't leave oil everywhere. Make the air smell better don't have to walk around it all the time. The way life should be! I don't have the luxury of buying a domestic car that I would have to fix all the time frigidity, frigidity with the hood up. I have to get to my destination on time I buy reliable cars it's a investment in yourself. But always lease domestic cars so you don't get stuck with the cost of repairs! Point there is a correction in time a burn and grow like thing. Even the most fear mongered people burn up in time, they will have to do better for themselves as most of the others pass them by!

***One of the saddest things about our current state of affairs is how much time is expended on imaginary fears largely manufactured by manipulative media, MAGA-poisoned pols, and the always dependable religious nuts and conspiracy mongers. These rants and performative stunts have long passed the point of novelty or entertainment. 

They've also become so pervasive that smart leaders can no longer ignore them. Because when people are confused or lose confidence in their leaders and institutions, they become driven by their fears instead of their hopes. And in startups especially, it's all about hopes and dreams for the world, not fears of and for it.

This increasingly dire situation -- where team members in firms of all sizes are losing faith -- would be plenty painful if these garbage conversations, infantile behaviors, and trashings of the rule of law were confined to D.C. Republicans making fools of themselves certainly isn't the worst thing that could happen in a Congress now led by fools, fascists, frauds, and football coaches. It's actually something of a relief that this crew couldn't pass a bill that had any prospect of becoming law. Nor could they fashion a budget that made even the slightest sense if their lives -- instead of their notoriety, incomes, and fundraising -- depended on it.

But when the nonstop noise begins to impact our own employees' attitudes and our businesses' prospects, it's another matter entirely. When you walk around and see more of your people worrying than working, arguing about nonsense instead of advancing the company, and focusing on a foreboding future, it's time for you to step in, like it or not, because there's nothing more frightening than scared people. https://www.inc.com/howard-tullman/you-cant-be-creative-if-you-are-fearful.html

College and workforce changes!

"For decades, not having a college degree has often been a barrier for workers seeking a higher-level, better-paying job. But more employers are now saying they’re willing to hire them." But those that don't have the college degree where the first ones to get laid off. College is also seen as being accredited as in knowing better what they are doing than not. It's better to have college as it makes higher income than just a high school. Even there was issues about your college degree is only worth the paper it's printed on. Less resources for education lower spending etc. 

But post COVID-19 all plagues come with a rebound up and down sort of a chaos theory light. Looks like a job skill shakeup till normality in time. Things will get better it's a rebound!

"Why the change of heart? There are several factors. But lurking over all of them is a demographic reality: The falling US birth rate will produce fewer workers in the years ahead to replace the number of workers retiring."

"Additionally, employers are increasingly aware that the skills needed to do many jobs don’t necessarily require a four-year degree, and that competent workers can be trained in needed skills as they arise." https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/08/success/no-college-degree-options-better-jobs/index.html

The white rural rage, like a slow moving hornets nest!

It's not they are lazy just that they could never afford an education so going into generations of family members they don't have much. The terms 40 watt city, dark ages, big city bright lights is the point of enlightenment or the lack of!

People in rural towns seem to like their suffering too much it holds back the whole town! Can't go forward as conservatives are against their own people. Get rid of Obamacare, abortion rights etc. degrading to a time people lived badly. No social mobility, living like their parents with inflation lower then their parents. Conservative no innovation. 

People living badly is a labor force issue and a towns issue as they vote against themselves. Always normal in rural locals what do they have, obviously they are not succeeding? So less to have is less for everyone else! That needs to change why are these people not brought up? Yet are you to suffer with them? Their rage is like a slow moving hornets nest and is what you get that is at a cost of not knowing. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-white-voters-2024-election-rcna141156

"A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses."  

~~~~4 Types of People

In the Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, Cipolla divided people and their behavior along a couple of lines: the benefits to others, and the benefit to themselves. From here you find four types of people:

Bandits: people who gain at others expense

Helpless: people who benefit others at their own expense

Intelligent: people who provide gains for both themselves and others

Stupid: people who cost others without gaining, or even losing, something themselves. https://www.sambrinson.com/price-of-stupidity

~~~~Q: What is conservatism?

A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.

Q: What is wrong with conservatism?

A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world. https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/conservatism.html

How is the US economy doing? Thank You Brandon!

It's all good but your wages are not growing enough. Inflation is normal from the rebound of a plague! After death people like to be happy so up the spending! Not fair to low waged people. They need to get brought up! Trumps at 77 Biden at 81 much the same and who cares it's about who the vice is that matters if the president passes away! Age is not a issue action is more than age! https://usafacts.org/state-of-the-union/economy/

Low wage trap the old issue of a labor shortage

The old issue of a labor shortage. But more of a wage shortage for the ones in the bottom. Many moved up the ladder to better jobs leaving the lower really low as the bottom have to fill the labor force. "Drag a $100 bill through a trailer camp and there's no telling what you will find." - James Carville. What would be reasonably unhirable for that time are what places are looking at today to end a shortage in the workplace. The bottom dropped off! They where fired for a reason only to be looked at for a job without reason! Workplaces need to know what they are getting and make a effort for the better than to have workers in a trap!

~~~~This pattern of denial and neglect hurts workers in ways that have profound societal costs. No matter how hard or how long they work, many low-wage workers cannot climb out of poverty. We studied the fortunes of 181,891 workers who started low-wage jobs in 2012, and we found that five years later 60% of them remained stuck in such positions. People who had managed to escape those jobs had most often done so by quitting industries such as hospitality, food services, and retail, which are classic low-wage traps. Across industries, women were overrepresented in low-wage jobs and most likely to stay impoverished.

The pattern also inflicts all sorts of direct and indirect costs on companies, including lower retention and higher absenteeism, more overtime, a reliance on staffing agencies to provide temporary workers, constant recruitment and training of new employees, a lowering of morale, a loss of institutional and process knowledge, a decline in customer goodwill, a damaged reputation among job seekers, stagnant or lower rates of productivity and less revenue. https://hbr.org/2023/05/the-high-cost-of-neglecting-low-wage-workers
