Anna Freud’s 1934 book "The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense" listed a variety of mechanisms the mind uses to deal with the pain of emotions, but she left out one – scientific understanding. I’ve spent months reviewing the story of Seroquel by looking at the science, but what runs the motor is a felt horror that Medicine has participated in such foolishness to the detriment of people we treat. This post is in a similar vein – some stuff I found about the Japanese Tsunami, but the motor is an emotion watching those pictures that doesn’t translate to words – another felt horror.
One thing I wondered was why are the Japanese Nuclear Plants placed at the wrongest possible place. I don’t know the answer, but here’s what I found on the USGS earthquake site.
If you’re planning for earthquakes, it was the right place to put them. If you get a Tsunami, you’re in big trouble.
Then I went to the Japanese equivalent of the USGS. Here’s their version of the Ring of Fire:
This shows the amount of slippage in Meters [up to 18 Meters!]. Rotate the bottom picture clockwise to fit the top picture. The greatest slippage was at the ends.
Which is why the simulation of the Tsunami from the Japanese Institute looks like it does:
Mickey,
You’re just brilliant !
