there's a special report on ABC TV, as i write this.

it's discussing the 'war on drugs', and, so far, is obviously working to make the case for 'legalization' of 'drugs'.

the gist of it is expressed by a Police official who says, "It's insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over again."

that's True, but what's really 'insane' is 'withholding' understanding from folks with respect to the way that drugs disconnect biological reward from reality, leaving folks unable to cross-correlate affective and effective behavior, which leaves folks 'dead in the water'.

and, Society-wide, such accumulates, augmentingly, because, as 'drug' use becomes familiar to some, it becomes increasingly-familiar across Society, and Society, itself, becomes, increasingly, 'dead in the water'.

Productivity stalls as folks increasingly 'short-circuit' the nervous systems in which all possibility of success derives.

Truth is, biological reward is attainable at-Will.

it's in-there for a purpose.

'disconnect' biological reward, and 'Prupose' is simultaneously disconnected from behavior.

Truth is this stuff is just another reason that it's Insane to withhold "NDT's understanding' from folks.

get it?

rather than 'waging war', wage understanding.

doing the latter is =cheap=, and, as it stems the 'insanity'  inherent in 'blindly' 'short-circuiting' that which connects affective and effective behavior, it, simultaneously, brings with it benefits which extend into all aspects of Human endeavor.

it's 'just' Common Sense' to do what works.

it's 'insanity', and, in the end, tantamount to Manslaughter on a massive scale, not to.
