"Ofcourse" the money. Even among the talented, the intellectual, the technical and the elite, money is still the denomination of the leaderboard

Polite way to say that. Self-preservation almost always outweighs transparency regardless of the whether the truth is good or bad

"The Judas goat is usually sterilized, outfitted with a transmitter, painted in red and then released." In humans there are evolved, instinctual mamalian brains that still act, react, and decide under some influence of amygdala hijack. Men and women, Men and children. Lone wolf men are still scary, and others are weary.

"INCREASED FUNCTIONAL BRAIN CONNECTIVITY" sounds pretty neat. Instead of debating why the brain is or is not like a computer. Or why you or your sister-in-law's brain is addled by mental illness. Let's frame this optimistically, hopefully. Maybe there's a genius working that study or commenting here. Geniuses think different.

1. geniuses look at problems in many different ways. 2. geniuses make their thoughts visible. 3. geniuses produce. 4. geniuses force relationships. 5. geniuses think metaphorically.

A logical fallacy is not necessarily wrong.
