that kindness is biological, deeply rooted in our evolution as a species. I wish I had a documentary link handy that disproved the myth of competition among early hominids killing each other off. Fortunately people with above-average tendencies for hatred are not the norm, otherwise I don't think we'd be conversing now. Again, kindness is not a cultural construct. But as Perseus says, "It is unfortunate that the bad people make all the noise."

Here's Keltner talking about his kindness research findings.

The birds were going off this morning, chirping so much I had to stop and look out the window, then overcome by the sunrise. Reminded me of the children singing the sun to rise in the final scene of Black Orpheus, another magnipiece of art from 1959. What a year.

This is how I've felt about 46-1 since ever knowing of him back in the day.
It's also been historically fascinating to me with each Republican administration and, too, because of the heavenly chorus by the Jackson 5 on the LP.



We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"you haven't done nothin'"

It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else, yeah

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"you haven't done nothing"

Jackson 5, join along with me, say
Doo doo wop - hey hey hey
Doo doo wop - oh whoa whoa
Doo doo wop - mmm now now
Doo doo wop - oh oh oh
Doo doo wop - dum dum dum
Doo doo wop

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becoming real life
But when misled who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mmm-hmm

Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"you haven't done nothin'"
Yeah

Jackson 5, say it one more 'gain, say
Doo doo wop - na na na
Doo doo wop - oh
Doo doo wop - mmm co co
Doo doo wop - sing it, yeah
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Doo doo wop - mmm bum bum
Doo doo wop
Doo doo wop - sing it loud and for your people, say
Doo doo wop - mmm dum dum
Doo doo wop - I think y'all shy
Sing it louder
Doo doo wop - go go go
Doo doo wop - oh
I love y'all
Doo doo wop - mmm bum bum
Doo doo wop - mmm
Doo doo wop - brr eh deh deh
Doo doo wop - dum dum dum dum
Doo doo wop - eh deh deh
Doo doo wop - mmm
Doo doo wop - oh yeah
