And normally the answer is no, right?

So yes, so I typically just take a moment and just reboot.

Let's talk about the most obvious, right?

I mean, everybody has a lot going on in their life, right?

And your brain is a record of the past.

It's an artifact of everything you've learned

and experience to this moment.

It is the repository of the autobiographical self.

You're Raj because you come from a certain country, you have a certain family, you've studied certain things, you know certain people, you live in certain places, you own certain things at certain times.

And when you meet people, you tell them who you are based on your experience in life.

So then you have a neurological network for your mother, a neurological network for your father,

a neurological network for your siblings, for your cell phone, for your home, because you've experienced all these elements in your life, right?

And because you've experienced all those elements in your life, you have an emotion that's associated with every one of those people or objects or things or places, right?

And so when a person is out of balance or they're stressed, the stress is when your body and brain are out of balance or homeostasis.

And the alarm system or the emergency system switches on and your brain goes into a heightened kind of aroused state.

Stress is created by not being able to predict something, not being able to control something, or having the perception in your life that something's gonna get worse.

And when that kind of alarm system switches on, it's a survival system.

And what you try to do then is you try to control

and predict everything in your life so the arousal causes you to shift your attention from one person to another person to another meeting to another thing to another place to another time and because you have a neurological network assigned to all of those elements like a lightning storm in the clouds your brain begins to compartmentalize it begins to silo and it begins to fire out of order if you were to measure the brain when it does that

It's very incoherent.
