Snakesโ€ฆpeople who've trained/altered their reptilian brainsโ€ฆ for selfish control/survival through whatever means possible without emotion [Feeding, Fleeing, Fighting, Fucking]

 

In MacLean's triune brain model, the basal ganglia are referred to as the reptilian or primal brain, as this structure is in control of our innate and automatic self-preserving behavior patterns, which ensure our survival and that of our species. The primal brain is also in charge of, what are often referred to as, the four Fs: Feeding, Fighting, Fleeing, andโ€ฆ Reproduction (well, we wonโ€™t use that other f-word here!). Notable behavior patterns include defense of self, family, and personal property, physical communication, and socially approved actions, such as handshakes, head nods, and bowingโ€ฆ

How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government

 

By Gavin Newsom with Lisa Dickey

 

(The Penguin Press; 249 pages; $25.95)

 

When I started work in the White House in 2009, I had been brought in to help implement the Obama administration's commitment to making government more transparent, participatory and collaborative. At the time, the federal government, like governments worldwide, was anything but open. The White House didn't have a blog, Twitter accounts or a social media site. To make matters worse, we were running Windows 2000.

 

As a colleague described the situation: "We have a nearly obsolete infrastructure, so a lot of things have to be done 'by hand.' Don't think Google server farm. Think gerbil on a wheel."
