Really? You think and choose about everything?
I meant in the manner of constantly analyzing choices that have been made, in order to prepare for further decision making.

So if you feel something crawling up your arm, you don't automatically try to swat it/get it off?
As a gerneral rule, no. I tend to only have that reaction when being bitten (black flies, mosquitoes). Otherwise, removal without death is usually the course of action.
quote:
Our brain is not all one, responses to crawling sensations come from the earliest ancestors and cause an immediate autonomic response.
Isn’t it true that youngsters often do not respond in the same manner to things crawling on them, as adults? If so, would it still fit the idea of immediate autonomic response?
Would you agree that what is perceived as a danger, and how a person handles a given situation, changes, when an individual is informed and alert? Could much of what is considered ‘human nature’ simply derive from being distracted and uninformed?
Is that; “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking”?
