READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in HOW TO BIOHACK YOUR BRAIN by Kristin M. She says there are 6 AREAS OF THE BRAIN to learn, to understand NEUROSCIENCE:

1. THALAMUS (2 walnuts)
2. HYPOTHALAMUS (almond)
3. HIPPOCAMPUS (below Hypothalamus)
4. AMYGDALA
5. CINGULATE GYRUS
6. PREFRONTAL CORTEX

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama. He recalls the "pretzel-like logic" of US foreign policy wrt Pakistan, Afghanistan, India - al-Queada, and the mess "over there." I'm amazed to think that someone within the government wanted to send 17,000 troops to A - I hadn't realized all through that period, that there were so MANY US troops deployed.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. He says addressing human morality cannot be an exact science, and that further, you won't find 2 paragraphs in all the books that agree completely. But he introduces the idea that "innateness is organized in advance of experience." And so, "moral Foundations are innate."

"But" he says "if you look for links between evolutionary theory and anthropological observations, you can take some educated guesses about what was in the universal first draft of human nature."

WOW!

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl. He says
