    As someone with heritable anxiety issues (among other things) who grew up in a deeply behaviorist era, I remain indebted to Robert Sapolsky for his explanations of how neuroscience and physiology can factor heavily into cognitive issues. It is hard enough to have neurobehavioral challenges, and having to deal with those who insist that these things occur solely because of weird ideas that you allowed into your head can make a bad situation worse.

    Question: Harambe, the gorilla that was shot in 2016 - was he actually protecting the three year old that went down in his enclosure? Some people say he was violently dragged by the gorilla, others say the gorilla was attempting to keep him safe - what was going on there? I feel like I NEED to know so I can die in peace.

    Outstanding! I wish the existing social realities could embrace the fact that they are all made up--products of collective brain consensuses--and use the physical reality of the brain's neurobiological mechanisms for making decisions of governance. But then, that would blow up in our face as well. Individually, I guess our goal remains doing the harder better thing until it is easy, and encourage that process in others.

    My family spent an exciting evening catching Huntsman Spiders with Dr Peter Jager -wonderful man-arachnologist from the University of Düsseldorf. He showed us (ok, my young son; wife and I were just too creeped out) how to catch these big fast predatory spiders by hand! “They can’t really hurt you…much”, he said. Then one particularly large specimen turned and nearly bit him! This exposed Peter’s innate fear, his reaction sending the prize specimen sailing off into the warm Philippine night! 😂

    please do a discussion of the influence of circumcision on the infant brain. I only saw in Determined a passing mention of Genital Cutting. I am in court in FL (Pro Se), suing a State Attorney for witholding law enforcement services from juvenile male citizens. The matter is easily reviewed by searching YT for 'infant circumcision procedure.' #intactivism PS-you may enjoy The Hidden Trauma by psychologist Ron Goldman, PHd.

      I would be interested in that too. I am very late diagnosed ASD 1, and I am aware that one of the reasons for the rise of the anti-vax movement was that the onset of visible traits will sometimes correlate with times of vaccination. My baby pictures suggest to me a pretty significant shift in my first six months, and though I don’t subscribe to anti-vex theory, I do debate other possible external factors. Given that ASD diagnosis has largely been focused on males until recently, circumcision would be one common shared experience. This seems particularly significant in that there has been considerable discussion in the online autism community of late regarding the likelihood that many autistic traits, as defined by the DSM, may in fact be stress responses of the type that an autistic mind will display.
      ASD aside, I am certainly aware that I my anxiety is largely rooted in the heritable stress predisposition that Sapolsky has noted: prenatal exposure to my mother’s high levels of glucocorticoids. Also what I refer to as “the Sapolsky graph”: the dramatic effect predisposition can have on the response to external factors. My definition of my childhood is that nothing too bad happened, but I take things hard.
      And I once observed an animal correlary to circumcision: as a teen, we had sheep in the pasture behind my house. One spring, I watched the newly birthed lambs bounding around the pasture, playing and, I would say, exuding happiness. Then one day, I noticed that they were all milling, subdued. Their tails had been bobbed. I never saw them bound around after that; it seemed to me that they had discovered that the world was not the happy, safe space they imagined. As a hypervigilant person, this was either projection or identification on my part.
      I am not sure if they use some anesthetic when circumcising these days - they damn sure didn’t in my time. What I know as horse serum formulations of vaccines were also still around, for that matter. I don’t know if any I got as an infant were of that type, but I received a tetanus booster at around age ten that was, and it was astonishingly painful.

      @@jimwilliams3816 the sheep remind me of myself. repeated testicular torsion as a child then paranoid surrounding that until my late teens definitely left a drastic effect on me that is clearly visible in photos. Very happy until it started around age 12. I felt very isolated being in pain others didn’t have. Went to ER to have it corrected by a doctor but it kept happening. I’m just venting here but circumcision has to have lasting effects not just because of the initial pain but the reduced sensitivity later on. I’m using a mantor retainer to stretch my foreskin which is an improvement but probably not the same as the real thing due to the lack of a rigid band.

    Chimpanzee groups are ruled by one dominant male, whereas bonobos are ruled by females. Competitions for dominance and mating rights in bonobos shouldn’t be confused with aggression, says Kaplan. “There’s more pointless violence in chimpanzees and humans than in other species like bonobos,” she says.
