And here is where it diverges from normal speech.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And the reason why that happens is because when it hits that thalamus, it gets sent two different ways.

Like it gets sent the normal way to that higher brain processing.

And when it goes through that higher brain processing, that's when you become conscious of hearing that scream.

But what's happened even faster is it got sent to that amygdala and that sent in the fight or flight response.

And that happened before your higher brain finished processing, which is just, so there's this own pathway for just screams that the human brain has evolved to basically make you able to respond to a scream faster.

It has its own expressway.

Screams only, essentially, is what it says.

And if your regular speech, you try to use that same expressway, it's got those tire bursting spikes.

Yeah.

That will just stop you cold right there.

That's right.

And they'll send you back along the way you're supposed to go to the higher brain.

You go back to talk town, buddy.

Exactly.

And it's going to take you a while to get there because you don't have tires.

You're driving on just rims now.

That's right.
