Regions of Brain Responsible for Emotional Response to Sounds and Words

I read that in an article. Dogs have similar regions.

It appears that two regions generate a positive or negative emotion to words or sounds. 

Brain is really complex...

Korean Media Frenzy Due To Conservative Party Candidate Drop In Polls!

Presidential elections in early March 2022.

The mostly conservative Korean media is trying to frame negative and sensational accusations against the ruling liberal party candidate as newsworthy and relevant. Also, the conservative party candidate, Yoon Seok-youl, has taken to slandering and insulting the current President and ruling party candidate, Lee Jae-myung. 

I think it's not wise to call for Yoon to call people fools and idiots, and say that Lee is a felon. 

Yoon used to be the leading candidate with around 47% selecting him in polls. Now, the percentage of people voting for Yoon in polls is around 29% and people voting for Lee is  around 37%.

Apparently the change in the polls has moved Yoon to act and talk even more like Trump. LOL. Out of touch with the times. 

Yoon also has a lot of other problems with his mother-in-law being recently jailed, wife falsifying resumes in the past, and allegations of personal wrongdoing.

Due to the elections, the liberal party is now sending spokespeople to news shows to counter conservative speakers. I don't normally watch the news, but nowadays it's just so enjoyable to hear logical arguments to conservative nonsense.

Self-related Matters Are Processed Separately By Brain

Scientists found a section of the brain that is responsible for self-related matters. 

That could be how "self" is created...

Strike 1 for Big Bang Theory

If the Big Bang and Inflation theory is correct, light in the cosmic microwave background should be polarized in two ways: B-modes, which are swirly patterns, and E-modes, which are more of a straight-line pattern. They could only find E-modes.

Scientists say the detection instruments might need to be more sensitive to find the B-modes, but I count this as a strike.

Pot Can Cure Autism and Epilepsy in Children?

According to CNN's Gupta, in some tests that were conducted, absolutely yes. This could be a game changer. Medical studies proving the effectiveness of pot for certain illnesses where other medications have serious side effects.

I could be a little autistic. Definitely not sociable. Pot should be legalized in Korea. I might be in need of medication for my illness.

Read that Germany and many other countries are legalizing recreational weed. Thailand allows medicinal marijuana. Canada, Georgia, Malta, Mexico, South Africa, Uruguay, part of the US and Australia have legalized cannabis. Portugal has decriminalized drugs for decades, I think.

A lot of progress over the last decade. Wonder if it will accelerate? Corporations, equity funds, and other entities seeking profits are involved in the cannabis business now. So much wealth has been accumulated by the wealthy, if society had progressed at the same pace, the world would have been a much better place.

Property, equity, intellectual property rights. The system has to change, but won't? Are all people created equal? Definitely not. Some are wealthy at birth, some are orphans at birth.
