(2,541 posts)They never escaped the adolescent stage of only thinking with their dicks. And we all know how well that works out for you. At least, those of us whose pre-frontal cortexes* were able to fully mature and amygdalae** didnt get too large.
*This is the section of the brain thats responsible for rational thinking/decision making. Its not fully developed until about age 25. This is why when teens do stupid shit and we ask, What were you thinking?, they can honestly tell you they werent. At least, not thinking rationally.
**It has been scientifically shown that those with enlarged (or damaged) amygdalae are more likely to be conservative, as they are more susceptible to fear and anger. The amygdalae are the parts of the brain that regulate responses to fight/flight, and larger size correlates to heightened responses.
Its been known for far longer that fear and anger are easily manipulated. Faux Nuz, OANN, SpewsMax constantly beat the fear/anger drums and the GOPQ have been masters at manipulating these emotions for decades, even before this link was established.
