  • I read somewhere once that one theory behind deja vu is that it’s the result of a temporary de-sync between your left and right brain hemispheres. Usually signals reach each hemisphere at about the same time, but sometimes the signals can be de-synced by a few milliseconds and (theoretically) cause you to process the same thing twice in quick succession, giving you the vague impression of familiarity on the second signal process.

    Edit: Messed up a bit. Each hemisphere sends a signal to the temporal lobe for processing, and that’s where the de-sync can happen.



  • “If you have a deeply emotional reaction to your entire worldview being shattered in your middle age and having everything that once brought you a sense of comfort, however manufactured, suddenly ripped away from you, then you need psychological help.”

    At least your brain-dead snark somehow still brought you to the correct conclusion, unintentional as it may have been.
