So the most

psychotic denial psychotic or delusional denial that's a better word the most delusional denial that you'll ever hear is when someone's angry no I didn't do that I never did that I never did that I never did that and they can believe it because that's what happens the amygdala makes your thinking black and white

You know, when we have adrenaline collapsing or running through our system, it collapses peripheral vision down to a 30-degree cone.

So we can only see this thing.

So this is the first element of why heat-seeking missiles work.

When they come at you angry, you're going to get angry.

If you're going to get angry, it doesn't matter if they're right.

It doesn't matter if they're wrong.

You're going to say, no, it's incorrect.

It doesn't matter the truth of it.

So this is the first element of it, right?

So is that they don't approach you.

They approach you in an articulate way.

When they approach you in an articulate way, it doesn't activate your amygdala.

It does in a different way, but...

Then the issue is their finesse.

And you said a poison dart.

Really interesting imagery.

It's something that hurts a little bit and then flows through your veins.

So I can even imagine when they said that problem at ID, your first thought was not a big deal.
