Getting p***ed on a plane flight to Gibraltar is something no squaddie would ever do, right?

Having an early Friday by mistake. Figure we all deserve the oocasional off piste indulgence (read: glass of vermouth)
It's my own interpretation of mindfulness.

The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science- ... 180947814/
Many of us would hide this discovery and never tell a soul, out of fear or embarrassment of being labeled a psychopath. Perhaps because boldness and disinhibition are noted psychopathic tendencies, Fallon has gone all in towards the opposite direction, telling the world about his finding in a TED Talk, an NPR interview and now a new book published last month, The Psychopath Inside. In it, Fallon seeks to reconcile how he—a happily married family man—could demonstrate the same anatomical patterns that marked the minds of serial killers.

Old but pertinent. The fact that pscychopaths are not embarrassed to be considered "a psycopath", but rather are actually quite proud of it (for example by publishing books and articles about their being a psychopath) is, one suspects, precisely the defining point. I vote we stop being in awe of pscychopaths and start embracing a genuinely new approach to civilisation trumping biology.

Meh.

People were wrong to say it for factional purposes back then, and they're wrong to say it for factional purposes now.
