Technology improvements have masked a tremendous amount of ruin in our society.Jehuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483263667086303029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867127488416158679.post-27925486969421072462012-03-24T23:30:32.535-07:002012-03-24T23:30:32.535-07:00Jehu,

Medical technology in trauma has advanced a LOT---look at the wound to kill ratios in our military conflicts as time passes. But that's the whole point of honest research, to actually answer questions that admit to one.Jehuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483263667086303029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867127488416158679.post-56102085989757629142012-02-26T18:09:13.380-08:002012-02-26T18:09:13.380-08:00Topic 2: Very intriguing.

Doesn't it go directly against the recent "Better Angels" book's claim, that violence has declined across the board?<br /><br />Another solid criticism of that book is here:<br /><a href="http://theunsilencedscience.blogspot.com/2011/12/blacks-with-bullets-embedded-in-bone.html" rel="nofollow">Blacks With Bullets Embedded in the Bones</a>.Hailhttp://hailtoyou.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867127488416158679.post-35365696421035301432012-02-26T17:57:43.941-08:002012-02-26T17:57:43.941-08:00RS,

Back in 1900, for instance, I bet a lot of criminals got let off, at the scene, with a beating and a stern warning---something the media today would have a massive tantrum regarding. The meta-point on this thesis is the claim: Improvements in technology have masked to a great extent the incredible collapse in governmental competence in maintaining order.Jehuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483263667086303029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867127488416158679.post-46934975289222177352012-02-26T17:21:42.015-08:002012-02-26T17:21:42.015-08:00> compute a normalized homicide rate, normalize...> compute a normalized homicide rate, normalized to 1900 medical technology <br /><br />Throw in a 1900 incarceration rate.
