As you likely know neuroscience is my jam so this started off speaking my language of sensory processing. I didn’t think it was going where you landed, but a great pondering, none the less. A couple of neuro factoids….did you know that the amygdala of fanatics (of any stripe) is much larger than the average person, making their fear response more reactionary? ….also one of the key indicators (diagnostics) of autism is a sensory processing disorder. They take in much more sensory info than most of us, causing them to get overloaded, which shuts down other systems. There is a good argument that we are all getting overloaded with too much input causing us to react in horrible ways. I could believe that the people who would vote for a dictator would go there just to have someone take over and shut down the noise. It’s all too complicated to think it all through for some unfortunately.
This stimulated a fun conversation among 4 of us about science of sight and factors of perception. However, the choice between D and D makes me weepy. Someone once clarified that we are in the same storm, and some have leaky boats and no paddles, and others have super-yachts. Let's get through these storms together on this beautiful and precious blue planet.
We’re all on this tiny blue rock, spinning together in the darkness of space.
