MainSpaining: to dominate the game without playing anything of interest

The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Almost all the excitable coverage I've heard of Musk becoming a trillionaire has failed to mention his enthusiasm for fascism, and his actual fomenting of racist violence on our streets a few days ago. Does nothing mean anything anymore? I feel like I'm going mad.
