Nice little summary of the book
"Modern science (or more accurately the brains and minds of modern scientists) continues to interpret a wealth of data from a number of disciplines on the basis of the untested presumption that our neural system is fully functional and at the pinnacle of its evolution.
Such a presumption or untested belief is according to scientific protocol ‘bad science’. Even if there were no hint of dysfunction in the human condition it would be prudent to eliminate the remotest possibility of a flaw in our perception in what is effectively our only tool of investigation. Furthermore, if our brain and its associated perception, psychology and the behaviour and culture it manifests really are a reflection of its advanced ability then surely it would be hard to convince anyone at all that it may be seriously impaired.
That an increasing number of leading scholars and academics who have studied human behaviour and evolution are supporting such a scenario is in its self a major paradox."
Alfalfabet?! Hahahahaa!
The last half a page of this thread has been gold.

You're right about that. It's how I started my morning. Haha.

That's dedication right there.
A revival of the "how do I wear a belt" trope comes with inane suggestions that fatties are incapable of wearing belts or that high-rise jeans are the magic elixir to obviously ill-fitting stuff.

I'll just say that l am the biggest nightmare a tailor will ever meet when making trousers for. No rtw or mtm will fit me...all look incredibly messy on my body.
* My calf muscles stick out much further than my non existant bum and is made worse by the way l stand
* My thighs also come out further than my stomach and is made worse by the way l stand
* no bum or hips for pants to sit on.
Try getting clean lines in pants when you are shaped like that!!! A complete tailors nightmare. Need a certain leg width, and need a rise that is so small that l need to undo the pants to take a piss (like hipster pants). They can't be made any other way for me, because if they are higher they fall down after a few steps and the balance of the pants is ruined and l end up walking on my pants and they gape everywhere.
My tailor usually can make trousers for a bloke in one go, he took 5 or more goes for my first pair of trousers. He had never seen anything like it. Even the bespoke can't be done perfectly because my lower half is too hard to work with. I am so jealous of most people because rtw pants look half decent on many of them, not with me.
The only way l could get a clean line is if my tailor sewed a pillow in the seat and sewed another pillow in the front and made my leg area almost 1 foot wide. No shit dudes.

Ninny frets obsessively about which shade of shoe polish to get. Meltonian shoe polish, the stuff that I can walk a few minutes to the local cobbler and buy for under five bucks.

Needless to say, the "more is more" imbecility is evident and there are grave concerns of excess polish caking up and filling in punched holes and the like. Do not apply shoe polish as if it is grout.

You could just wear the hat itself. You would look better when the skip lorry hit you.

Apropos for a English dude I'd say.
