The Powerful
The powerful are desensitized to injustices affecting others but hypersensitive to injustices affecting themselves. Intermittent declines in the use of prosocial language by members of Congress between 1996 and 2014 were linked to decreases in approval ratings. Prosocial behavior was observed in subjects who were awed, variously, by footage of droplets of colored water falling into a bowl of milk, slowed down 200 times; by footage of “threatening natural phenomena” such as tornadoes and volcanoes; and by standing in a grove of 200-foot-tall Tasmanian eucalyptus trees.

Bipolar Brazilians tend to possess three or more of the following attributes: at least two apparent tattoos, at least three foreign languages, at least three religion changes, at least three marriages, at least sixty lifetime sexual partners, regular infidelity, circadian dysregulation, heavy cursing, high debt, and pathological love; if they are male, they are more likely than unipolar Brazilians to have a talent for poetry, and if they are female, they are more likely to read frequently and dress extravagantly.

Some time then there will be every kind of a history of every
one who ever can or is or was or will be living. Some time then
there will be a history of every one from their beginning to their
ending. Sometime then there will be a history of all of them, of
every kind of them, of every one, of every bit of living they ever
have in them, of them when there is never more than a beginning
to them, of every kind of them, of every one when there is very little
beginning and then there is an ending, there will then sometime be
a history of every one there will be a history of everything that ever
was or is or will be them, of everything that was or is or will be all
of any one or all of all of them. Sometime then there will be a history
of every one, of everything or anything that is all them or any part
of them and sometime then there will be a history of how anything
or everything comes out from every one, comes out from every one
or any one from the beginning to the ending of the being in them.
Sometime then there must be a history of every one who ever was
or is or will be living. As one sees every one in their living, in their
loving, sitting, eating, drinking, sleeping, walking, working, think-
ing, laughing, as any one sees all of them from their beginning to
their ending, sees them when they are little babies or children or
young grown men and women or growing older men and women
or old men and women then one knows it in them that sometime
there will be a history of all of them, that sometime all of them will
have the last touch of being, a history of them can give to them,
sometime then there will be a history of each one, of all the kinds of
them, of all the ways any one can know them, of all the ways each
one is inside her or inside him, of all the ways anything of them
comes out from them. Sometime then there will be a history of every
one and so then every one will have in them the last touch of being a
history of any one can give to them.
