tvashtarkatena Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Lefties light up their left insula, which process social and self awareness, while Righties light up their amygdala, the fight or flight center, when making decisions involving risk: Linky Love versus Fear driven politics. No, that doesn't sound familiar. No, not at all. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Fear really is the mind killer. BTW, there was no statistical difference in the actual decision making - just in which parts of the brain lit up during the process. Edited February 15, 2013 by tvashtarkatena Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 My last incident happened so fast that no fear was felt at all, just an otherworldly sense of "did that really just happen?" Quote
akhalteke Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Perhaps if people used the anterior cingulate cortex, we would be much better off. I suppose the status-quo of either using baseless emotion or anger/fear is here to stay; as is evidenced by the lengthy circle jerks I see on my now quarterly forays into this website. Quote
