how the brain works

[Carol]

This video explains many things about our brains and behavior. It explains overcoming fear, risk taking, having no empathy and even scientific evidence that John Edwards is for real.

Two threads deal with Empathy and I would this information to go into both but I think we are not to post the same link in different threads? I want to discuss the other subjects covered in the video, so I am starting a new thread. If this is the wrong thing to do for any reason, please let know and I will delete the video and change the talk about how our brains work. I think knowledge of our brains is perhaps the most important knowledge for many of our decisions.

"I did three experiments with John Edwards, each one more controlled than the next." - 1:18:35

LOL. They start from the premise of whether the medium is reading the mind of the sitter or the dead. Did anyone bother to establish that there's any mind reading at all going on? Nope. Was there anything but anecdotal evidence of his accuracy? Not presented. Any evidence that the brain can act as a receiver? Nope. Then it's about the Force that connects everything. LOL.

There's no wrong in posting or creating a thread. Many topics overlap from thread to thread. It's no big deal, don't change anything. Isn't it obvious that one thread is the impetus for sister threads? Happens all the time. Thread production should be encouraged, not disdained. Response will dictate a thread's worthiness. Best not to have a fear of failure, you're dealing with a different brain in each jar.

Here is a different explanation of how the brain works.
