| This is my brain at its best |
Why do we need to know what our brain is like on everything?
We're constantly bombarded – this is your brain on sugar, this is your brain on alcohol, stress, fear, this is your brain on having a nail driven through your nutsack, this is your brain on reading articles about how your brain behaves on every conceivable human activity. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Yesterday I read about my brain on a vacation. My brain is drunk on vacation. Then it goes to sleep. No study needed, thank you.
Can't we have a bit of mystery in life? I prefer to not precisely know why a nail in my nutsack would upset my brain.
It's like we need to constantly babysit our brain. Why? My brain is far smarter than me. I don't feel qualified to advise it on how to behave.
Then there's all this talk about feeding our brain the right foods. Do you get hunger pangs in your brain? I don't. They're all located in my stomach, so I eat to please him.
My brain does not need blueberries, oily fish and internet games to stay healthy. It needs sleep, naps and, preferably, full blown unconsciousness.
I mostly leave my brain alone to do its thing. I suggest you do the same.
