to be honest i am a bit scared of the #future.

there are not enough people working #together for a #betterworld.

everyone struggles (#finance) #economics or lack #consciousness of any problems, #egocentric and lazy to help, so #mankind could die with a a bang (#war) and a wimmer (#climatechange)

#Trump is unquestionably the most #egocentric, megalomaniacal #narcissist currently walking the Earth. The extent of his self-importance is breathtaking. This is a man who is incapable of acting in anything other than his own perceived self-interest. He will never put the best interests of the #UnitedStates first. Everything is all about him, and his self-aggrandizement. #WeThePeople will never be his priority because we are here to serve his #ego, and nothing else.

Trump insists he’s ‘not a threat to democracy’ in Dr Phil interview, suggests God wants him to save the world

The former president also attempted to clarify previous remarks about wanting to be a ‘dictator for one day’

Really cool work on how behavioural biases can create spurious (#Egocentric) coding in #PlaceCells!
I really wish people were more aware of, and cautious about this, for all experiments!
