Also (and maybe not entirely unrelated?!) this current piece over there is absolutely the best article on testosterone as "the he hormone" that I have seen:

 The Masculine Mystique of T

She covers all the recent theorizing and a lot of the past, with links, and very well at that.

Writing in 1995, @ #13, Eco the seer says

There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.

Prefaced with 

 Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism, a qualitative populism, one might say. In a democracy, the citizens have individual rights, but the citizens in their entirety have a political impact only from a quantitative point of view—one follows the decisions of the majority. For Ur-Fascism, however, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a monolithic entity expressing the Common Will. Since no large quantity of human beings can have a common will, the Leader pretends to be their interpreter. Having lost their power of delegation, citizens do not act; they are only called on to play the role of the People. Thus the People is only a theatrical fiction. To have a good instance of qualitative populism we no longer need the Piazza Venezia in Rome or the Nuremberg Stadium. 

Which got me thinking it might actually be good to bring back Nixon's phrase "the silent majority" but with a new definition. Passionately opining pundits, whatever the political passion (or intended manipulation) and whatever venue they choose to use, are still a minority.

Also that ideal of boring factual objective journalistic reporting, without appeal to emotion, is an ideal that should still be highly supported rather than dissed as it often is these days. And it should be taught as important in school, to be able to recognize it, as difficult as that may be to accomplish, since everyone wants to inspire passionate learning in children.
