>The limbic system won.

The limbic system always wins.

"The mind is always the dupe of the heart." (La Rochefoucauld)



It often wins, not always. Otherwise we'd be all monkeys out of control and we're not. We're often capable of handling our basic animal instincts.


Not necessarily. Only when people are afraid or anxious.


Well then isn't the limbic system in charge? Because those are like two major emotions most people feel


>those are like two major emotions most people feel

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." (H. P. Lovecraft)
