| PEOPLE'S STATE OF MIND | |
| 4-Feb-12: MONEY and RELIGION dominate people's Awareness. People's Attention is diffuse. People continue to be ANGRY and CONFUSED [OPTIMISM is down; PESSIMISM is relatively high]. IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE increased but remains low. People are UNHAPPY and in PAIN; they continue to crave LOVE. People's Mood is more often ANTISOCIAL than SOCIAL. People's DISTRUST of the Global Political/Financial System is very high [Moral-Compass-based DISTRUST is ~90%] [police vs. Occupy protests; Israel vs. Iran; Syria; Davos, etc.]. | |

| SITE MAINTENANCE/STATISTICS: We're in the process of upgrading the MI2 System. MI2 will soon provide measures of the frequency and duration [persistence] of High-Awareness/High-Attention Life-Concerns. The latest access statistics indicate that the Much Mind cluster is receiving more visits from Asia than from America and Europe combined. | |
