The Unknown Unknown

Human beings are the sort of creatures who has to know what to do when they don't know. And so sometimes i think that our that our stress circuits are just on all the time, and that's part of what accounts for our heightened consciousness. I've done a lot of work in neuro chemistry, functional nero chemistry, ecause i used to study alcoholism and drug abuse and alcoholism. To study alcohol, you have to know a lot about the brain because alcohol goes everywhere in the brain. It affects every neuro chemical system. But one of the things i learned about that was just exactly how much continuity there was in the neuro chemistry of human beings and the nerro chemistry of animals.
