Meeting in the middle? The arrowed circle on this Inglehart Curve represents the highest level of well-being/survival consistent with a low level of resource use. It is therefore a target at which a society should aim. (Source: N. Hagens and R. Inglehart 1997)

Wikipedia on Anhedonia:
In psychology and psychiatry, anhedonia (< Greek ἀν- an-, “without” + ἡδονή hēdonē, “pleasure”) is defined as the inability to experience pleasure from activities formerly found enjoyable, e.g. hobbies, exercise, social interaction or sexual activity.
Anhedonia can be a characteristic of mental disorders including mood disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizoid personality disorder and schizophrenia. Affected schizophrenic patients describe themselves as feeling emotionally empty.[1]
Mood disturbances are commonly observed in many psychiatric disorders. Disturbing mood changes may occur resultant to stressful life events and they are not uncommon during times of physical illness. [2] While anhedonia can be a feature of such mood changes, they are not mutually inclusive.

Core Point: The US national security world is still operating under a two conflicting paradigms: stovepipes within which authorized users have access to everything in the stovepipe (more or less); and isolated stovepipes in which external authorized users have to spend 25% of their time gaining access to 80+ databases (or worse, don’t bother), and if they forget their password, a 2-3 day gap while access is restored. What SHOULD have happened between 1986 when this was first pointed out and 1994 when the national alarm was sounded, was full excryption at rest of all documents, and a combination of automated access roles and rules together with anomaly detection at any point in the system including external drives. The good news: 90% or more of what needs to be shared is NOT SECRET. Bad news: someone other than the US Government “owns” that 90%. The US system is not capable of ingesting and then exploiting that 90%.
