BadFaithActor: but 4% more is still more!

No, not really... From the text: "there was no significant difference in stability and change between the three recruitment groups." (pg 71).

The Economist ignored this line (for SOME reason) and concluded at 18% was reason to give pause.

Dr Olson has a study in 2022 (the 5-year follow up; mentioned in Economist article) showing that 7% of children had an identity change over that time period. The children would have been around 13 at the time as compared to this newer study in which they are 15.

BadFaithActor: but 18 is more than 7

'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format. One of a series of highly stylised, graphic works featuring a shield-shaped object with a hand grip: like a vanity mirror with its back to the viewer, doubling as a hand-held mask. In each case, the large mask is positioned on a central, vertical, axis, like the subject of a traditional portrait. The background is bisected horizontally about one third of the way up, hinting at a landscape, or a room, behind. Each 'Best Mask...' is based on the same object/background template. Together, they are obviously variants of one design; perhaps a set of elaborate emojis for compromising or insincere self-presentations. The whole picture field of 'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' is suffused with organic greens. The lower third of the background is near-black, patterned with fine, parallel horizontal lines of earthy green. The upper two thirds is predominantly light, leaf-green, with the appearance of a thick weave patterned by fine, vertical stripes of bright green. The main plate of the mask, at upper centre, is dark green, patterned like tightly-woven basketwork, shading into darker green at its edges. Two dent-like blemishes of slightly different sizes are placed analogously to eyes; tokens for eye-holes that, unfinished, can afford no view. Above the left dent is a single black mark suggestive of an eyebrow, performatively compressed to signal concern. Beneath the right is a mark denoting puffy-eyed tiredness, or strain. The fluting of the dark green hand-grip, attached to the bottom edge of the mask, is picked out in fine lines of bright green. The title 'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' is a hand-written in bold white script across the bottom of the image. An artist's signature, in smaller, white script, reads vertically upwards, along the upper right-hand edge.

'Best Mask for Wartime' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format. One of a series of highly stylised, graphic works featuring a shield-shaped object with a hand grip: like a vanity mirror with its back to the viewer, doubling as a hand-held mask. In each case, the large mask is positioned on a central, vertical, axis, like the subject of a traditional portrait. The background is bisected horizontally about one third of the way up, hinting at a landscape, or a room, behind. Each 'Best Mask...' is based on the same object/background template. Together, they are obviously variants of one design; perhaps a set of elaborate emojis for compromising or insincere self-presentations. In 'Best Mask for Wartime' the background is predominantly black. The lower third is patterned with parallel, thin, red, horizontal lines; the upper two thirds with similar, vertical red lines. The main plate of the mask, at upper centre, is deep blood-red, shading to much darker red around its edges. Two small black spots surrounded by dark shading are rendered analogously to punched-in eye holes, possibly just large enough to see through. The fluting of the hand-grip, attached to the bottom edge of the mask, is picked out in red. The title 'Best Mask for Wartime' is a hand-written in bold white script across the bottom of the image. An artist's signature, in smaller, red script, reads vertically upwards, along the upper right-hand edge. 'Best Mask for a Royal Headfuck' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format. One of a series of highly stylised, graphic works featuring a shield-shaped object with a hand grip: like a vanity mirror with its back to the viewer, doubling as a hand-held mask. In each case, the large mask is positioned on a central, vertical, axis, like the subject of a traditional portrait. The background is bisected horizontally about one third of the way up, hinting at a landscape, or a room, behind. Each 'Best Mask...' is based on the same object/background template. Together, they are obviously variants of one design; perhaps a set of elaborate emojis for compromising or insincere self-presentations. In 'Best Mask for a Royal Headfuck' mask and patterned background are rendered in colours reminiscent of Scottish tartans. The lower third of the background is black, with parallel, thin, horizontal lines, like stitching in grey, red and royal blue thread. The upper two thirds is filled with a regular close-set dot-screen pattern of grey dots interspersed with maroon and royal blue. The main plate of the mask, at upper centre, is turquoise, shading into the dot-screen background pattern around its edges. Two perfect circles of slightly different sizes appear as though incompletely incised into the mask, in locations analogous to eyes. These have a 'burned' appearance, as though cut by acetylene torch. The fluting of the turquoise hand-grip, attached to the bottom edge of the mask, is picked out in lighter turquoise. Layered in with the mask at top are two large, cartoonish cloud-shapes, royal blue behind the mask, dark grey in front. The title 'Best Mask for a Royal Headfuck' is a hand-written in bold white script across the bottom of the image. (A 'royal' headfuck could be either a conundrum literally experienced by royalty, or one of a particularly burdensome kind.) An artist's signature, in smaller, white script, reads vertically upwards, along the upper right-hand edge. 'Best Mask for the New Crusades' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format. One of a series of highly stylised, graphic works featuring a shield-shaped object with a hand grip: like a vanity mirror with its back to the viewer, doubling as a hand-held mask. In each case, the large mask is positioned on a central, vertical, axis, like the subject of a traditional portrait. The background is bisected horizontally about one third of the way up, hinting at a landscape, or a room, behind. Each 'Best Mask...' is based on the same object/background template. Together, they are obviously variants of one design; perhaps a set of elaborate emojis for compromising or insincere self-presentations. 'Best Mask for the New Crusades' is rendered in a near-monochrome mix of white, and a dark brown suggestive of tarnished silver. The main plate of the mask, at upper centre, is grainy white, shading into pale brown around its edges. Two symmetrical crosses (like "plus" signs) are rendered in very fine, dark lines, analogously to cross-shaped eye-slits. The fluting of the light brown hand-grip, attached to the bottom edge of the mask, is picked out in dark brown. The whole picture field (object and background) is covered with evenly-spaced, parallel vertical lines, like stripes in fabric: light brown on dark brown over the background areas; reversed to dark brown on grainy white over the main plate of the mask. The title 'Best Mask for the New Crusades' is a hand-written in bold white script across the bottom of the image. An artist's signature, in smaller, white script, reads vertically upwards, along the upper right-hand edge. 'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format.

Someone loves the sound of their own voice.

Appointed judge of what he/she thinks & says. Because, no matter what - if He/she doesn't like you. They will never engage you in good faith.

Too many of these embedded in various causes. Too many easily duped too. Idiots.
