J, I read a different article about the same study. I believe the researchers believed that killing was indeed a possible variable in the development of these heightened skills. Whether we like it or not. Certain martial arts are known to help develop the similar skills. Note the term: martial. Self defense, real or simulated, is a great motivation for the neurology to expand its capabilities, and promote high performance states. Rescuing children is nice to do, as well, sure, but now you're talking about using F2 filters. I believe this is a much more innocent example of countless things the media has done recently to promote violence, particularly in the propaganda campaign to justify the recent war, which at times gains the appearance of a horrifying conspiracy. best, J |
