The reptilian brain drives our animal instincts including hypergamy and hypogamy

The limbic brain drives our base emotions, love, hate, happiness, anxiety, frustration, disgust etc.

To be fully human we must put the neocortex, the centre of reason, in charge

People who live their life based on their animal instincts and fickle emotions may LOOK human, but they are functionally talking animals

They can be very successful and appear happy however they see only reality at a very low level, like an animal, making them easily manipulated

To become fully human learn how to put your reason (logic) in control of your instincts, emotions and actions

This however raises a challange. Reason is SLOW thinking while instincts are FAST thinking

Sometimes we need fast thinking and ACTION

Over thinking can get us killed

Use your reason to TRAIN your emotions and instincts, a solid “gut” response

Cultivate effective automatic actions, healthy programming that enables rapid responses to most daily tactical situations

Make your big strategic choices based on careful thought and reasoned arguments

Learn to objectify your (and others) instincts, emotions and thoughts

Write them down and examine them

Listen to what is driving you, if you find you are living mostly on emotions or instincts and not getting the results you want, cultivate your reason to override them.

Stop fighting yourself, it is a waste of energy and not sustainable

Instead, order your mind so that your instincts and emotions align with your rational plans

Develop healthy instincts, emotions and habits

Become a fully developed human, a man or women of Agency
