America lapsed into a trance, confused. Our entire nation’s rational brain has been sequestered, collectively “removed, set apart, isolated, retiring, withdrawn.”

Your sequestered brain can’t see next crash coming - Paul B. Farrell - MarketWatch

Your sequestered brain can’t see next crash coming - Paul B. Farrell - MarketWatch: "America’s big problem is our “sequestered” brains. Meaning: “to remove, isolate, set apart, retire, withdraw into solitude.” Think post-trauma stress, paralysis, amnesia, lobotomized, entranced, just plain irrational. You’re out of it, incapable of acting rational.

And not just you: Economists, politicians and media pundits all have sequestered brains. They blab on endlessly about this or that of their special interests hiding among the trillion-dollar war-and-peace sequester cuts. Blab on and on. Myopic.

Why? Their brains are sequestered too"

We are very slowly moving to unquestionably accept the hopelessly outdated paradigms of "economic experts". Their determinations are grounded in theories that not only have never been proven true, but rather have been proven false. Like the trickle down theory!

Wipe that smile off your face, optimists: Science says you’ll die sooner

Wipe that smile off your face, optimists: Science says you’ll die sooner: " A team of researchers used a sample of 11,131 people, who had, every year, provided the database with their current level of happiness. They also predicted how happy they would be five years in the future.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, young people (ages 18 to 39) tended to be the most likely to overestimate how happy they would be five years out in the future, by about a half-point on this 10-point scale."
