Angst

Update: March 18, 2018, the reptile brain of the Dutch has been put back to work.


I think the large-scale actions of security services were necessary in view of the circumstances, but sometimes the media may be a bit more moderate in pronouncing frightening 'possibilities'.

A lot of blogs, texts and articles that I read are written out of fear, and a lot of people who read blogs, texts and articles written from that emotion take over that fear. tunnel vision and start acting impulsively, because your reptile brain takes over (the primitive part of the brain that instinctively responds to stimuli it recognizes from the past). You start, you run or you fight!

A lot of writers, or screams think that they fight when they express extreme opinions and try to convince people of their right.

That reptile brain recognizes stimuli, but does not always interpret them correctly! You have (for example) an experience from images on television in which a group of radicals attacks. of the male radicals have a beard and walk in a long robe. Let it be that I sometimes see someone walking in a long robe with a beard! My reptile brain puts me on focus! Yes, I also get that reaction! But sometimes you have to be stronger than your reptile brain,


because the tendency to react from your reptile brain is usually not real! Quote

You know, most people with a beard and a long robe are just nice and have the best intentions!

Mooie blog, ja, het reptielenbrein heeft een functie, maar laten we het wel een plek geven en ons er niet door laten regeren.
