Re: MLK jr.

This brings up an interesting point.

Political people, good and bad, seem to sprout out of the current social climate - a King was as inevitable as a Hitler - while progress for all seems to be a matter of people "born" to do something. It's these "born to be" people that are really missing now, and that's sad.

Hmmm provocative

Idiot savants, for whatever has gone wrong in their normal accommodation of all the crap [which we ~manage] that lets you pretend to be a member of a complex, illogical social dance.. These might illustrate the sub-process. I mean.. how can one figure a hard-wired ability to run the algorithm for day-dates of various years, say - sans the slightest math inculcation?

But then, if all the young Mozarts are killed-off early - in the inner city? or the Newtons psychically murdered - by daily incarceration in a cubicle, doing mind-numbing biz-logic for morons, until all brain activity is homogenized. Etc.

And apparently, such enviros are insufficient to produce another Munch - yet, 'logically' there ought to be thousands recreating The Scream ...
practically every day, just moments after 'work'. Right?

Correspondingly (as you suggest) - a 'political' instinct cannot possibly be prewired, as its milieu is the random accident of birth-date and the flux of those local, by def'n nonlogical 'social' conditions.

I shall have to think on this ...
