@DaleStarkA10 Ever read Smedley Butler's "War Is a Racket", by any chance? If so, I'd be curious for your thoughts. I now see @jockowillink did an episode on it that I haven't seen yet, so opening one more tab. Wanted to ask for this one but never got to it, so thanks. https://t.co/XD9gpvz4BH

@heavilyarmedc True. What I like about this theory in particular is how it seems to align better with Occam's razor than any other theory I've seen thus far. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." -- Arthur Conan Doyle

@Don_Zeko @random_eddie I doubt most people can even act rational under pressure. For example ... Cop: "You have the right to remain in silence. Anything you say can and will be used against you, (...). Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?" Accused: "Yes. Also, blablablabla."
