Why are they danger?

Because uncertainty.

Uncertainty.

Got it.

So we want things that we remember and we feel safe with.

Exactly.

And then the fourth thing that makes things memory stick is my favorite one, which is

emotional resonance.

So we remember the happiest and the saddest moments of our life.

And that's because of a structure called the amygdala that is there to strengthen all those terrible, sad memories.

I wish I didn't have to remember them.

But also, you know, the joyous memories are strengthened as well.

So we are in a loneliness epidemic.

It is not good for the brain because I think the simple way to think about it, it is a pervasive stressor.

We are social animals.

We were meant to be social and to have sociality.

those social networks, the family networks.

And if we become more and more independent, as we like to be here in America, and then lonely, we've come to be lonely, that turns out to be a long-term stressor.
