  1. Sadly shows that a people’s wisdom does not prevent them from being slaughtered by the neigbour clan.
    Pretty much the case nowadays, especially if that ‘clan’ ought to have humanity at the core of wisdom, and especially if it’s your own clan’s government who does the manslaughter.

  2. “forensic psychiatrist”
    Now – there is a term to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who has made diigent inquiry into the success rate of psychiatrc “medicine”!
    “NASA scientists can fire a rocket into the sky and have its payload land on Mars – the equivalent of kicking a ball in Athens and it entering a specific window in Manhattan that stays open only for 60 seconds every three months” – Dimitrios Michmizos
    Neuroscientist & Writer.
    A psychiatrist cannot predict a patient’s behaviour a nano-second after he/she leaves his office.
    Sadly this snake-oil salesmanship has infected mainstream medicine – even the Lancet says so:
    “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”
