In 2016 they took an MRI of this man's brain (#AlexHonnold)
His #amygdala, our brains' fear center, remained inert as he was exposed to disturbing images (ours would light up)
He's basically the anti-MAGA (MAGA people are programmed via Fox News and insane social media content by goosing their overactive fear response)
He just free soloed (no ropes) #Taipei101, the 11th tallest building in the world in a little over an hour and a half
He convinced his mom to take up climbing at the age of 60

@drahardja Apparently the favored biologically reductive theory of #autism, especially #nonspeaking "severe autism", is that the #amygdala is too SMALL — so that we can't properly orient toward the outside world and exercise the "joint attention" upon which spoken language supposedly is critically dependent. If we (#autistics) buy into amygdala-size determinism for right-wingers, we're setting ourselves up to have it applied to US. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If your amygdala is too large, you're doomed to be a knuckle-dragging fascist troglodyte; if it's too small, you're doomed to be an implicitly subhuman, #mindblind, nonspeaking [insert suitable slur for the intellectually disabled]. Biological determinism stretches out the amygdala on the bed of Procrustes.
To say that I'm skeptical of ALL of this would be an understatement — although I acknowledge that biological determinist views of one's enemies are very tempting, even for leftists.
The Wikipedia article on "Nonverbal autism" is FULL of amygdala determinism — although it has been flagged for cleanup as needing better references.
Oh... the YouTube videos on body scans are EXACTLY what I thought. My #amygdala is very triggered by them.
I found a book: _Self-Care for #Autistic Men with #Anxiety and #Depression: #Mindfulness, #Self-Regulation, and #StressManagement Strategies for Improved Mental Health and Wellbeing_

This is the FIRST time I have ever seen a book without a review on Amazon. No starts at any level. Looks self-published.
The one review on Goodreads is by a lady with a private profile giving it a 5-star rating with new review. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227973297-self-care-for-autistic-men-with-anxiety-and-depression

#NowPlaying #Scourge666 #Amygdala #Hate
Our hatred will outnumber yours
You are praying for love and forgiveness
While spilling your hatred on our existence
Basing your morals upon lies and fiction
Excusing this bigotry with your religion
Tear down every single church
Slay down their bastard god
We will never tolerate your intolerance
We won't allow your king to rule over our life's
from the album Amygdala

#Authentic gratitude activates the prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain responsible for #perspective, #empathy, and #calm.
But performative or forced gratitude triggers the #amygdala — the fear center — because your brain registers the disconnect between what you’re saying and what you’re feeling.
That’s why fake positivity feels exhausting.
It’s neurologically incoherent.
When #gratitude is rooted in honesty, it calms your nervous system.
When it’s forced, it…
Gratitude season can be complicated. We’re surrounded by reminders to “count our blessings,” “look on the bright side,” and “be thankful for what we have.” But what happens when gratitude feels out of…
