Your ideas completely changed a key corner-stone of my consciousness. It was like actually opening the door whose label had nothing to do with its contents. I always walked past that door and affirmed its label 'emotions' after reading and listening to your work I realized the map I' internalized is nothing like the terrain I'm required to navigate. I'm yet to fully embrace and assimilate its paradigm shifting totality but thus far its been utterly worthwhile! Thank you!

How does Fasting factor into this? Also, the Gut/Brain Vagus Nerve connection factor into this?

causes of facial reaction dont say anything about this. Women are just more emotional (on average of course..), its even very easy to observe across whole societies, i see it with my peers, and actually the more rational thinking by men makes more sense looking at the hunter and gatherer communities
