There have been several recent news reports that in agregate touch on

> 2. Brain damage due to wear and tear of neurons related to decision
> making... very recent research reveals that such excercise creates
> waste products (prions, partial protiens) in the cells, that are toxic
> and accumulate forming plaques in the brain and attached to the
> neurons themselves (lewey bodies). Too many decisions in one day,
> without time for the brain to process the data result in bad
> decisions later in the day... those of course create a chain reaction
> of more bad decisions and debilitating stressors.

> This produces a gross and unnecessary acceleration of the debilitating

> stressing... each requiring decisions etc.. and each having to be
> structured to be compatible with the other stressors.....
