not Americans, humans.

We were built in a different environment - and (god like) tech can outwit both our Paleolithic endocrine system for personal regulation and our medieval systems for social cohesion. Instant worldwide communications breaks local bonds, apparently quite easily. h/t eo Wilson.

Pocketcasts has per podcast settings of playback speed and beginning/end trim to avoid the intro and outro if desired. As well as 0.1x speed granularity.

Reducing parental rights
Late term abortions without medical necessity (basically never happens… but also unpopular)
Explicitly racial social programs

It’s so common that a failure of these systems of internal regulation tend to be diagnosable.
