Here’s What Happens to Your Brain When You Have to Defend Your Beliefs
A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, titled “Hard-wired: The brain’s circuitry for political belief,” found the brain has a defense mechanism that kicks in when your political views are challenged.
As Vox’s Brian Resnick explains, it turns out that the brain links your political views with your identity, and just like the brain steps in to defend the body when it senses danger, it kicks in to protect your identity when it senses it’s at risk.

Intellect…..
We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.

Artists, writers, poets, activists, journalists, philosophers, dancers, musicians, actors, and renegades must be tolerated if a culture is to be pulled back from disaster.
