I don't know. It sounds a bit too much like excuses. I was also a teenager and was not stupid enough to try anything stupid. My reptilian brain always managed to stop me. Like this time I was going to get into a fist fight (it was not my first), I was willing but my reptilian brain was not in agreement. It actually tried to freeze my legs.
- ceejayoz 10y agoThe concept of a "reptilian brain" is a) no longer espoused by neuroscientists and b) if true would be the thing egging you on, not freezing your legs.
- u_me_him 10y agoThink of it as a metaphor. There is definitely something there acting independently of me. I try to veto it but I'm not always successful.
- woodman 10y ago> It sounds a bit too much like excuses. Said with a dismissive wave to the body of research compiled by neuroscientists that says otherwise.
