    So, the amygdala doesn’t just impact fear response, it also does anger, anxiety, and stress. An overactive amygdala negatively impacts your ability to think clearly.

    Fear is, famously, an excellent impetus for rational decision-making. (/s just in case)

    Ah, the typical nazi idea of correlating random body measurements with complex behavioral and emotional patterns.

    Conservatives are more afraid of everything, and respond in anger. How the fuck is that “better”?

      Those are “manly” emotions! But also don’t forget that we are better for running countries because we’re so calm and cool.

      One could frame this as “Leftists are more naive and reckless, while Conservatives are cautious”. I wouldn’t, but I can see someone make that argument.

      How the fuck is [being scared and angry] “better”?

      Through the power of sarcasm.

    Went to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner with my wife. We celebrated her birthday, and so decided to check the dessert menu. We generally don’t get dessert, just never really lie thing, but this menu has a dessert called amygdalopita, which piques my interest. Why would they name it after part of the brain?

    And so upon further research, we discovered that the Greek word αμύγδαλο (amýgdalo) means almond. And this really got my wheels turning, because it brought back memory of EMT classes, way back in like 2003, where they talked about the amygdala being named such due tonit being almond shaped.

    So I like a dessert that not only tasted great, but also helped me make connections, maybe fire off some neurons I hadn’t in a while.

    Conservatives don’t know anything about the person they voted for. They don’t know anything about how their government functions. They don’t know anything about their Constitution.

    I promise they don’t know what an amygdala is or what it does.

      Nah please, we need younger actually representatives of the population, not ancient people (as much as I like Sanders). There’s various young progressive candidates that are suitable when the Dems allow them…
