The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives.

We all know that the 'reality' of reality TV is an artful construction, an effect not only of editing but of a Lorenzian rat-in-a-mirrored-labyrinth artificial environment which attenuates psychology into a series of territorial twitches.

Use 'attenuate' when something is intentionally made less strong, not when it weakens on its own.

Intensity Reduction

'Attenuate' implies reduction, not complete removal. Something still remains after attenuation.

Not Eliminate

Use 'attenuate' in situations where precision is needed; it's not casual language.

Careful Use

'Attenuate' is often used for precision in tech and science to describe a lower strength level.

Technical Precision

Attenuation in science usually involves controlled processes, not random weakening.

Controlled Weakening

In communications, 'attenuate' means reducing noise or interference for clear signal.

Signal Clarity

'Attenuate' in medicine is specific, involving weakening pathogens for safer use.

Medicine Specific

Vaccines often use 'attenuated' viruses to safely stimulate the immune response.

 approximate how far away you are from that lighthouse at night now if it were a foggy night that lighthouse could look faint and fooling you into thinking it's further away than it really is so we have tools called fog horns that work by the same principle the attenuation or reduction of the sound instead of the

 to attenuate the shock of the limb hitting the ground. Then at mid-stance, the bionic limb outputs high torques and powers to lift the person into the walking stride, comparable to how muscles work in the calf region. This bionic propulsion is very important clinically to patients.

 What we know is that, if after you've tried to learn a task, and you sleep-deprive individuals, the ability to learn that task is smashed. It's really hugely attenuated. So sleep and memory consolidation is also very important. However, it's not just the laying down of memory

 are all replaced by a kind of attenuated attention that's sustained by a sense of apprehension caused by the fog. And this is very much like how the Victorian novel used fog in this way. So here the world is put out of focus, while our visual dependence is put into focus.

 but generally, the most effective designs are also the slowest to produce. Traditional attenuated vaccines create long lasting resilience. But they rely on weakened viral strains that must be cultivated in non-human tissue over long periods of time.

 I could give you a bunch of flip, this, that, and the other. But I would say that honestly we don't know. Clearly the bottom line is the virus eventually attenuates, and ceases to be a lethal virus to humanity,

 It's a live attenuated vaccine, and we're engineering it to express SARS-CoV-2 antigens, which should trigger the production of protective antibodies by the immune system. Importantly, BCG is massively scalable
