To do so, Tryon created an experiment that tested the proficiency of successive generations of rats in completing a maze. He initiated the experiment by exposing a genetically diverse group of rats to the maze, labeling those who made the fewest errors “bright”, and those with the most errors “dull”.
Because it learned from these errors. There is no doubt that we are currently undergoing a period of economic and geopolitical pain, unlike any of the past 30 years (with the exception of the 2008 ...
