Thats what society and culture are: mechanisms for transforming the merely reptilian or animalistic side of the human brain into somethingthat can be used for good, or for evil. We don't have a choice about the family/tribe/society/culture we are born into but we can sometimes make a choice about how much we enslave ourselves to its more evil impulses.Aimaihttp://aimaiameye.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-83044999087383571292014-02-04T10:00:31.702-05:002014-02-04T10:00:31.702-05:00Noted.

Carl Sagan was standing in front of a giant human brain and talking about the R-complex.<br /><br /><br /><br />He was explaining that this part of the brain was the seat of aggression, territoriality and hierarchical thinking, and how lucky we were to have the large forebrain on top to help us transcend these base instincts. How lucky we are to live in a society of science, art and philosophy!<br /><br /><br />I was a teenager growing up in the working-class South when I watched that, and I remember being jealous of Carl Sagan. I wished that I lived in the world that he was describing. <br /><br /><br />My point is this: perhaps that reptilian brain is deep inside of all of us, and we all need to use our higher brain functions to temper it, and control its impulses. I think that anyone (even the Rightwingers) have this capability, if only they can see the importance of using it.Buddy McCuehttp://buddymccue.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-78874771544053433512014-02-04T03:01:57.547-05:002014-02-04T03:01:57.547-05:00The only part the right wing recognizes is "W...The only part the right wing recognizes is "When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone...."Tehanunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-5947089833671296892014-02-04T02:59:52.556-05:002014-02-04T02:59:52.556-05:00It's as if they were raised by wolves Republic...It's as if they were raised by wolves Republicans.<br />Fixed that for ya.
