Mind's Eye Re: can you find a greater thought than these?

I think the challenge can be summarised as 'living with the
emancipated other'. A good list Kenny. From biology, I think we
should really view human life as much of it is as a mouse race, rather
than rat race. Rats have alphas and submissives, but also 'gammas' -
rats who can stand up to the alphas but don't dominate the others.
Social mice have 'kings' and we have our 1%. I suspect only
technology will truly emancipate the many. Fine words have long been
associated with bloody and repressive "revolution".
