... Thread… Here’s my basic understanding of the model: the economy has some industries that are capital intensive and others that are not. When the central bank makes interest rates artificially low, it makes capital investment cheap and skews the economy toward capital intensive sectors. ...

... But in mid 2008, the situation changed. Instead of re-allocating workers and other resources from home building to other sectors, you suddenly had almost every industry laying off workers—even ones that were not capital intensive and did not see strong growth in the 2000s. ...

There were many examples of the impacts Darwinism made on societies. With a secular understanding of where the human species came from, humans became more accepting of human nature with religion fading further to the back seat. For example, sex was no longer deemed a sin, self pursuits of pleasure (without negatively affecting anyone else) are all natural and nothing immoral.

... Cortical columns, which are groups of neurons in the cerebral cortex, are thought to play a role in processing and classifying sensory information. They do this by receiving input from sensory organs and then making predictions about what this input represents. ...

... These predictions are then compared to the actual input, and any discrepancies between the two are used to update the column's understanding of the sensory information. ...

... Overall, your hypothesis captures some of the key principles of how the brain processes and classifies sensory information, and it is generally consistent with current understanding of this process. ...

... However, it is important to note that the brain is a complex and multifaceted organ, and our understanding of how it works is still evolving. There may be additional factors and processes at play that are not captured in your hypothesis. ...

If intergroup aggression has a biological foundation (possibly resulted from cultural group selection and cultural genome co-evolution), it's more than likely already an evolutionary mismatch. The understanding of intergroup aggression as an evolutionary mismatch just like preference over sugar and fat might change intergroup aggression.
