“…All of the Third Reich’s public language was purposefully chosen. Some of it was intended to obscure its goals, some of it was used to prevent panic spreading, and some was intended to soften-up a wider audience in order to bring them around to a ‘correct’ way of thinking.”

Spent today trying to help a friend and then joining my sister, BIL, and their son and grandson from Champaign for dinner.

A reminder that Trump couldn’t differentiate his proposals from Hitler’s in 2015, either. “Asked how ideas he has endorsed would be different from Nazi enrollment of Jews, the Republican frontrunner simply said, ‘You tell me.’”
………..
“…On Thursday, Yahoo News published an interview in which Trump seemed to assent to reporter Hunter Walker’s suggestions of requiring Muslims to register in a database or giving them a form of special identification attached to their religion. Walker wrote, “He wouldn’t rule it out.” Trump’s own comments were much vaguer: “We’re going to have to—we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”
Trump’s defenders, and some folks who also aren’t Trump defenders, felt this was a little unfair. After all, Walker had fed the ideas to Trump. Were they really Trump’s? It doesn’t seem like too much to ask that Trump repudiate ideas like this, but gaffes happen.
Trump demolished that defense Thursday night. He declined the chance to walk back his comments. At an event in Newton, Iowa, NBC asked him whether there should be a database to track Muslims. “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems,” he said.

Wth does that even mean? Systems beyond databases? What?

Some amusement this evening:
The Transnistria (breakaway Moldovan region allied with Russia) Security services released videos of what they said was a drone attack on one of their helicopters. With multiple camera angles and in beautiful and clear color. It said that it was immediately beginning an investigation.
Open Source researchers noted that, from the provided video, the helicopter was in disrepair. And later, other videos and information seem to indicate that the helicopter had likely not moved from the spot for years and was probably inoperable.
The Moldova Government released a statement saying:
“The Republic of Moldova Government has released a Statement reading today’s “Attack” on a Mil Mi-8 Utility Helicopter operated by the Transnistria Air Force, with them stating, “The Incident in Question is an attempt to cause Fear and Panic across the Region. That Helicopter has not worked for several Years. Moldova, in Contact with the Ukrainian Side, does not confirm any Attack on the Transnistrian Region.”

TL:DR - Humans, especially males, are not made up solely of testosterone-driven processes. Cortisol levels are also present and very important. High testosterone, low cortisol individuals may be selected in some cultural environments , while high cortisol, low testosterone men are selected in others.
__________
There was a discussion a few stories down about bonoboes and chimps. The former has a matriarchal society while the chimps have a patriarchal. Interesting, the two species show very different hormonal responses wrt competition. Bonoboes see little change in testosterone levels but big swings in cortisol. Chimps, on the other hand, see a big shift in testosterone.
Turns out human males can do both. Human males are much more diverse wrt competition than many people think. Some respond with higher testosterone aggression, like chimps. And some respond with higher cortisol, like bonoboes. And thus we end up having a type of natural selection as women pick the men whose competitive responses are best for the cultural environment they inhabit.
Sometimes we may need more testosterone males and sometimes more cortisol males.
Humans before about 70,000 years ago, lived much like chimpanzees. In separated tribes that had some genetic transfer but little transfer of things like tool use. And high testosterone levels were predominant. This was seen in the skulls of males, which are particularly susceptible to post puberty testosterone levels.
Then 70,000 or so years ago when the things we call culture (ie burials, trade, art) appeared almost instantaneously, there was a significant drop in male testosterone levels, reducing hyperaggression and allowing trade, new tools and economies to emerge, as shown by the skulls of males.
Likely those communities where the males had lower testosterone levels were the ones that were most successful with the trading economies that arose, where hyperaggression was selected against. Competitive drives came more from non-zero sum games derived in a trading economy than anything else. Cortisol males led.
The richest were those with lower testosterone. And women chose them over the higher testosterone males.
The next huge shock came from agriculture, which required a very diffferent approach for success (ie more hierarchical). Here we see an increase in testosterone levels based on the skulls of males. Competitive drives came from a zero-sum game where if I take your land, you cannot grow anything. Women ended up with men showing more testosterone driven aggression. Testosterone males led.
And now, that we are entering a period where diversity and collaboration are the best ways to compete. Hyperaggression is not the sure way to success as it used to be. Back to many non-zero sum games. And what do we see? Drops in testosterone levels once again. Likely women are once again choosing males with higher cortisol responses because they generally are the ones doing better in an IT society.
So, human males do it both ways. The cultural environment helps select for the ones that pass on their genes, just as a natural environment does. And we are seeing that those communities overbalanced by men with large testosterone responses are failing (ie Boeing is just the latest. ) in today’s modern cultural environment that is tilting more towards IT needs, not assembly line.
Interestingly, this paper shows that high testosterone, low cortisol correlates quite well with male leadership in many businesses. Low testosterone, low cortisol males were almost always found in lower positions.
But for high cortisol individuals, the testosterone levels had nothing to do with social status. From the conclusions:
If high cortisol silences testosterone and testosterone-driven processes it may open up the door for other processes to play a more prominent role in advancement. If dominance and dominance-related factors (suchTestosterone, Cortisol, and Attained Status 16 as testosterone) become less important when cortisol is high, other dimensions, such as social competence and leadership abilities (e.g., the ability to effectively manage a team) may exert greater influence. If so, then high cortisol individuals are not necessarily destined to low (or moderate) levels of organizational status; rather their advancement may simply hinge on traits and behaviors besides testosterone and testosterone-fueled behavior.
We are more complex than just a low-high testosterone axis. And it appears likely that high cortisol individuals are finding greater success in the IT society than in an agricultural one.
