Southeast = cooperative?
Via ScienceDirect, a well-written article on some species of NON-naked mole rats. These furry blobs with GIANT TEETH live underground and have vestigial eyes. They clearly use magnetic fields for navigation, but it wasn't clear where the magnetic sensors are. The rats are highly social, getting along well with others in their nest. They always do their sleeping and resting in the southeast part of their burrow complex, which can be two miles in diameter.

Experimenters removed the useless eyes and found that the rats still functioned normally within the nest, EXCEPT that they didn't prefer one direction for bedtime locations. The experiment was done in the lab with artificial magnetic fields, so other possible aids to navigation, such as sun warmth, were excluded.

So the magnetic sensors must be in the eyes, perhaps replacing visual retinas.

Southeast caught my attention. In trying to map out the sane countries vs the Mascoid Aliens, a similar southeast-ward tropism showed up. On each continent, the sane places tend to be east or southeast, and the crazy holocaustal Mascoid Aliens are west or northwest. This is a moderate correlation with some obvious exceptions.

The sane places have a more strongly correlated common quality: Cooperation instead of competition. The best of them are explicitly Socialist or Soviet. All of them are places where people tend to get along and solve problems socially. The west and northwest countries and states have been lethally infected by meritocracy and Randism, driving people toward destructive chaos and competition, leaving Bezos and Soros alive after everyone else dies.

Sidethought 1: It would be fairly easy to see if humans have a similar nest tropism. In unorganized ungridded villages where structures are built spontaneously (eg barrios and favelas) do people sleep in the southeast part of their houses?


Sidethought 2: The GIANT TEETH are surprising and unique. The rats have two upper teeth and two lower teeth, but each tooth is really a jaw. The left and right lower jaws are separately movable like arms or legs. Is this an odd 'evolved' accident? More likely it's the original setup. Our upper and lower jaws start out bilateral, and join during fetal development. Many familiar mammals have split upper lips, and humans sometimes end up with split upper lips and upper jaws when development fails. No other mammal besides these mole rats has a split lower jaw, but the potential is obvious in our bone structure.

Later thought: The mole rat arrangement is more like insect mouth parts than mammal mouth parts. Is there a gene for bilateral jaws, used by most insects, but only rarely used by mammals?
