I got mine removed and now I'm seizing the means of production.
Got no idea about the size of my amygdala, but I'm really good at being anxious and depressed. Small but mighty I guess
Isn't right-wing views correlate with cognitive decline?
There were actually some studies that showed either an over-active amygdala causing anxiety or and under-developed rest of the brain couldn’t cope with the output of the amygdala or something to that effect; and that made people experiencing it more susceptible to conservatism.
So it’s like another dimension of the autism spectrum, except you’re just scared as shit of everything everyone tells you. Better believe in the same God as everyone around you, just in case.
The level of dumb necessary to state what's said in OP's meme is just staggering and emblematic of the right- misunderstand everything and boil it down to the most basic YES vs NO proposition possible, then blame everyone else for your own shortcomings.
It's so fucking tiresome.
Galileo: "I think it's actually the Earth that moves around the Sun."
Papacy: "RAAAWR! U AR WRONG AND HEATHEN BURN ON PYRE EVIL MAN!"
Galileo: "Shit I can't argue with that I take it back I guess."
Funny how conservatives aren't afraid of disease. You probably need a decent frontal lobe for that.
They are so afraid that they pretend to ignore diseases all together.
I'm suspicious of damn near everyone and am still somehow liberal.
Doesn't the amygdala handle processing strong emotions rather than causing them, meaning that an underactive one would be less able to handle said strong emotions?

Psyop to devalue human genetic diversity in the eyes of the general public!!!
Can anyone tell me what a mutational load is though? Never heard of this before in my life
EDIT: I googled but feel free to explain for others
Lol inferior agenda. It probably means they think whatever they got going on is better, but it sounds like they're bragging about bad time management
Crazy that they boast about having an overactive amygdala but deny it when people say they are acting crazy and paranoid.
Also, side note: conflation of liberal and leftist as if they're the same is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They are very much not the same thing. Those who know know.
Internet arguments about brain science always get wild fast. Most of the time the science is a lot more complicated than the memes make it look.
