Within the amygdala of Dr. D lurks a Wizard Brain. Within the amygdalas of all other people lurks the Lizard Brain, those parts of their brains that they have in common with a Gecko.
You say you want to do one thing, but do another. You stuff yourself on pizza, step on the scale the next morning with +4.2 added to your Linear Weights, and resolve to never do it again.
Until, of course, the next time you're hungry. And pizza is around. And Colin Kaepernick is stepping up for the first snap, on the verge of tears. Things become very primal. Gimme da thick crust. Getting ripped didn't do anything His Biceppage.
The contradictions are between the instinctive, involuntary impulses -- and -- the higher parts of our brains. Our Lizard Brains tell us to back off, be careful, and stay away from that snake. Or that strong safety with the blackout visor. Or that pitcher who broke our face right before we signed a $300M deal.
Your amygdala isn't going away. That career change is rissssssky, Gollumses, it's too risssssky. The premium blog could go horribly wrong. You need Frodo there patting your hand and rewriting the WordPress code.
