Rabbits seem to grasp the concept of amygdala:
In the last three months, there have been at least three robberies on BART involving groups of teenagers. “I think people are genuinely concerned — they are fearful about the stories that have come out about the recent attacks, the assaults, the thefts,” said Debora Allen, who is a member of the BART Board of Directors. April 22: Forty to sixty kids boarded a train at the Coliseum stop and robbed seven passengers, beating up two;
June 28: A group of four kids assaulted a passenger and made off with a cell phone at Dublin; and June 30: A woman on a train with about a dozen teenagers had her phone snatched by one them before the group got off at the Coliseum stop. Thankfully, a good Samaritan was on hand to retrieve the phone.
So far, BART has refused to turn over surveillance video for any of these incidents.
Allen told us the agency issued an explanation for why it is being tight-lipped about the thefts.
“To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district,” she was told. “And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.” According to a memo distributed to BART Directors, the agency won’t do a press release on the June 30 theft because it was a “petty crime” that would make BART look “crime ridden.” Furthermore, it would “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports.”
These videos are what a K-shift is made of. You cannot see a real-life video of twenty or thirty criminals taking over a train car, and wantonly assaulting helpless passengers, without seeing amygdalae explode in angst. As those amygdalae explode, they will replay what they saw over and over, looking for some way to deal with that situation should they ever encounter it themselves.
There is no way to confront such a situation successfully that does not involve superior firepower, and a steely determination to kill everyone who poses a threat, without any hesitation.
Every brain that sees that video will eventually go one of two ways – resign themselves to assuming a helpless fetal position and being molested freely, or preparing for laying waste to everything within your field of vision. Their amygdaale will force one choice or the other, and most will go K.
For now they can suppress the videos, but this is what people will see, first hand, every day on their way to work in the Apocalypse.
If the video would send them K, what would living through it do?
