    Because from an anthropological evolutionary introverts are seen as more passive, and of less benefit to the tribe of primates (and we are an aggressive primate, the human). It is a evolutionary hardwire. On the flip side, extroverts and alpha males and females will be respected by other primates, as they may be able to provide protection in times of crisis.


    This is hard to digest. Ugly. but such is life. (it begins in the playground, this behaviour, and it never ends).

    Have a great day!

    Regardless of whether they are introverts or extroverts they taste equally delicious.

    I myself am both. There is the introvert part of me that sits at a desk and writes books that nobody reads. And then there is the extrovert part of me that gets on stage and makes a fool out of myself. (I say fool, because comedians get paid.)

    I think I was more of an introvert as a child, and especially as a teenager. But it worked out just fine, because I had no problems beating up extroverts after school when I had to.

    Glad to hear you beat up extroverts. Sometimes, you have to. HA

    And now I am thinking that the universe is inside the aquarium in the living room of a space alien.

    Been thinking about a book I read as part of the monthly book club right here on this website:

    A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, by Marina Lewycka
    Uhhhh...

    I didn´t read the book, Sancho, but the name appeared also in my German forum today!

    "Huge Berlin aquarium bursts, spilling 1500 fish onto road" - Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...es-2022-12-16/

    BERLIN, Dec 16 (Reuters) - A huge aquarium in Berlin burst early on Friday, spilling 1 million litres (264,172 gallons) of water, around 1,500 exotic fish and debris onto a major road in the busy Mitte district, emergency services said.

    Around 100 emergency responders rushed to the site, a leisure complex that houses a Radisson hotel and a museum as well as what Sea Life Berlin said was the world's largest freestanding cylindrical aquarium at 14 metres (46ft) in height.

    I have started a thread in General Literature about Alexandre Dumas (père), but it seems to be deleted. I think: "why?"

    Thank you, tailor. This quote from Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo" was the first time I have read this Latin sentence from Roman law- meaning one cannot be judged twice for the same thing. I hope you understand. This is a quote which Edmond Dates (The count of Monte Cristo) answered to one of Dumas's characters.
