Thorstein Veblen coined the phrase "conspicuous consumption" to apply to the purchase of corsets and silver spoons by the upper class. It is assumed that such gross buying of luxury products is still with us. The saying is often used.   ||| education oh rich if goods consumption up conspicuous me found no have my education it goods en conspicuous go goods |

Today, mass production has brought the price of such commodities down, unless of course you buy Apple goods that are grossly overpriced. Note, this company is using oligopolistic practices. However, for the most part, such items are not that costly compared to income.   ||| ox dravidian at  luxury go goods is consumption rich luxury ho conspicuous on consumption luxury | |    
Having a private yacht or aircraft, which are expensive, is a way to show how disgustingly wealthy one is.  Specialist services are now acquired by the rich. These are exclusive not really material.  Having material goodies is treated as normal by the "controlling" echelon.     it conspicuous. | | 

Indulgent spending is common for everyone these days. Rich people target high level education, health and retirement assets. Over the decade 2003 to 2013 the cost of education rose 80 percent in the West. Such consumption sends a "We can easily afford it" message to the middle and lower classes. It preserves status for following generations.      oh | .

Albert Einstein's Genius Was Due to His Unusual Brain

Albert Einstein wasn't only a genius her was a very odd human being. His brain shows peculiar differences from the norm; it had many more folds than the average person. This gave the brain a greater surface area. It is like using a larger computer to do calculations. Upon his father's death in 1955, Thomas Einstein gave the pathologist permission to preserve the brain of Albert Einstein. It was photographed then dissected into 2,000 ultra-thin slices. The slices and slides of them were later distributed to researchers. The brain had more neurons and glia cells, well outside of the normal range; pariental lobes were unusual in the pattern of ridges and grooves. Einstein only had a brain of average size. The area controlling the tongue and face was larger, as was the region that involves attention and planning. Overall, Einstein's brain was complex. Many people think in words. He said his thinking was like a physical activity. If selection based on "healthy...

Natural History Museum Human Evolution Gallery

 The Human Evolution gallery at Natural History explores the origins of Homo sapiens by tracing our lineage back to when it separated from that of our closest living relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. Around 200,000 years ago, Africa was where modern humans developed. They have smaller faces and brow ridges, a chin that is more prominent than that of other ancient humans, and a brain case that is higher and more rounded. Modern human fossils from Israel (around 100,000 years old), Africa (around 195,000 years old), and Australia (around 12,000 years old) are among the casts on display. These fossils demonstrate that typical characteristics of modern humans evolved over time rather than emerging fully formed from Africa. They also suggest that at least two waves of people leaving Africa may have occurred, one about 100,000 years ago and the other about 60,000 years ago. We are all descendants of those who left during that second migration wave outside of Africa. Source: Natural...
