They're not supposed to box in cars for this reason. Good thing many jurisdictions have banned police chases in most cases—it's easier to find the suspect later than to put folks in danger now.

But if you could boldly rig definitive social/civil outcomes, what would stop you from providing your family with boons/advantages? Fathers are expected to provide; the more you provide, the better you're recognized as an excellent father. Why not trade integrity for adoration?

Why IQ declined in the West: "[W]hen the effects of industrialization undid the [scarcity] engendering inter-group competition, selection shifted such that it now favors lower rather than higher levels of [IQ]." Instead of IQ, agreeableness is favored. amazon.com/RHYTHM-WEST-Biohi…

Conservatives shouldn't be on the defensive, constantly battling the spread of new cultural ideas. Conservatives should be on the offensive as a vanguard propelling eternal principles into the future. Conservatives are the ambassadors and guardians of inherited timeless wisdom.

Conservative thinkers must contend with leftism and envision a future where the hope for tomorrow agrees with reason. To help conservatives deal with the question of how to live by offering certainty for doubt, resoluteness for indecision, and assuredness for lack of confidence.
