The Idiot Brain by Dean Burnett5/20/2023 ![]() The stomach is saying no but the brain is saying ‘let’s go’ Poison is the only thing that can affect your inner workings so bad so the brain thinks he is poisoned and throws up. The image of the world passing by can also mean it is moving, not you. But when you are travelling by car or plane, you only get part of these signals (the shifting fluids in your ear). Human motion (walking, running, crawling) produces a specific set of signals (up-down rocking motion, general velocity and the external forces such as the movement of air passing you and your shifting internal fluids that this produces). One theory is that the brain interprets the situation as poisoning. Why does movement sometimes make us throw up? Sitting too long in airplanes can even be fatal, due to deep vein thrombosis. Our bodies are ideally suited to regular ambulation. ![]() This may explain why an unconscious person can still wander about. There are nerve clusters in our spine that control our locomotion without any conscious involvement. Is anger really bad? How do we become smarter? Why you can’t trust group decisions? Understanding how the brain works will make you more able to use it in the direction you want.ġ. ![]()
