The most significant event this year is perhaps
 
 The Pan Global Conference on the Behavioural Anomalies of the World's inhabitants at the beginning of this Century.
 
Some analyst have called the period between the 1900's and 2000's as the Age of the "Smart Morons". Smart because it was this period that humans employed their intelligence to lay the foundations for the hyper-technology that followed this time. Morons because they lived with no regard to the consequences of their actions. Rational thought which is intimately linked with intelligence seems to be exclusive to the complex primates. Non-primates are characterised by their inability to anticipate the results of their behaviour. How our predecessors could possess such elevated intelligence and totally lack a sense of anticipation, baffles psycho-evolutionary scientists
