I can see it on the highways and in the growth of towns from when i was young until now. I can only conclude that the result is the doubling of stupidity over the last 40 years, which will double again in the next 30 or so. <br /><br />I read a study when i was young, done by doctor Calhoun, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Calhoun) where he put too many rats in a cage and watched them exhibit an extraordinary variety of mental illness in response. Ultimately they killed and ate each other.<br /><br />From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink:<br /><br />Calhoun had phrased much of his work in anthropomorphic terms, in a way that made his ideas highly accessible to a lay audience.[7] Tom Wolfe wrote about the concept in his article "Oh Rotten Gotham! Sliding Down into the Behavioral Sink", later to be made into the last chapter of The Pump House Gang.[10] Lewis Mumford also referenced Calhoun's work in his The City in History,[11] stating that<br /><br />“No small part of this ugly barbarization has been due to sheer physical congestion: a diagnosis now partly confirmed with scientific experiments with rats – for when they are placed in equally congested quarters, they exhibit the same symptoms of stress, alienation, hostility, sexual perversion, parental incompetence, and rabid violence that we now find in the Megalopolis.[12]”<br /><br />Calhoun's work has been referenced in comic books, including Batman and 2000 AD.[10]<br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
