Is the malAdministration filled with people who have brain lesions

in the orbitofrontal cortex portion of the brain? Could explain a lot.
Found this little tidbit this morning.

<snip> Research appearing in the May 21 issue of Science found that when the region of the brain known as the orbitofrontal cortex was damaged, people no longer experienced regret and couldn't anticipate the consequences of their actions when participating in a gambling exercise.{bold emphasis mine}

<snip> They had all of the volunteers participate in gambling exercises. In each exercise, they were asked to choose one of two wheels. Each wheel contained an arrow that would spin and eventually stop on one of four conditions: +50, -50, +200 or -200 (at the time of the study, the unit of money used was French francs.) In one exercise, the arrow would only spin in the chosen wheel. In the other, both arrows would spin, allowing the study volunteers to see what the outcome would have been had they chosen the other wheel.

<snip> Not surprisingly, people without any damage to their brains weren't pleased when their decision cost them money. However, Sirigu said, knowing what happened on the other wheel could significantly alter how they felt. For example, if they won 50 francs but the other wheel won 200, they were sad, whereas if they had won 50 and not known the outcome of the other wheel, they would have been happy.

<snip> On the other hand, people with orbitofrontal lesions didn't care what happened on the alternative wheel, she said. These people also made no attempt to minimize their future losses, as the healthy people did.

Sounds like Chimpy to me (and maybe a few others in the junta) Perhaps along with financial statements, we should see brain scans of those aspiring to be leaders of the free world?

1. Sociopathy is more like it.

Sociopathy is also at epidemic levels in the US. Remember: The old name for it was Psychopathy.
