I wouldn't ignore them, I just expect the instinct to brood to be an ancient thing that would adapt to multiple highly variable circumstances (so, from the jungle to deserts to icebergs to, yes, the concrete jungle) but would make decisions based on primevally detectable factors.

The anthropologist in my head is yelling, "ECONOMIC POLICIES ARE CULTURALLY DETERMINED! EVERYTHING IS CULTURE! ESPECIALLY TECHNOLOGY!"

But, (mostly) ignoring her, from my perspective culture has also become highly hostile to people like me. :^) Because now we are called The Mad. Reconnected with family and fuck if the exact same pattern of disorders doesn't run through each and every one of us.

Of course, most NRX types, say, would sneer at me and accuse our family of being "dysgenic" but also my removal from the breeding population is not exactly raising the genetically determined IQ average of the next generation and blocking access to medtech isn't helping ME either.

If I had more real wealth I probably would've settled down and had a family early on, right before I transitioned into a crazy transhumanist, and if society didn't discriminate against me at every turn from age 5 onwards, I probably would've had more real wealth.

Anyways, this probably sounds vaguely accusatory for no real reason, not your fault, I'm just in crazy ranting mode. Large, undiscussed shift in the early 1800s to how our culture treated certain kinds of people. Fucking monsters with icepicks and sedatives. TURING.

"Inspired by the work of Italian psychiatrist Amarro Fiamberti, Freeman at some point conceived of approaching the frontal lobes through the eye sockets instead of through drilled holes in the skull. In 1945 he took an icepick from his own kitchen and began testing the idea..."

Trotsky died in 1940. Freeman started experiments in 1945... copycat killer?
