Excited delirium

A small recap to give you an idea about all the fun/excited things we did in this class. Since the beginning of the school year we all had to set a goal about how many books we think we would be able to read by the end of the first semester, and then reset that goal and see if we can do better than before.

My Dearest Elizabeth, I have indeed landed on my own dark continent, though I think you would find it uncommon hot and bright. Your fantasies of my landing at Durban “best limb forward” generated a chorus of guffaws at the Regatta Club, though I did not disclose your name. I have no doubt that you would enjoy a measure of notoriety among the lads, but I am reluctant to show all my cards so soon upon disembarking, and you, dear, are my ace of spades.

Though we were going to a Black Veil Brides concert, My Chemical Romance filled the car along with our slightly off key singing. That’s right; we listened to MCR to get excited for a BVB concert.

Hence, it is natural for neuroscientists to explore the physical means behind religious experience. Since religious experience seems unique to the human species, humans are considered Homo religio (religious species) or Homo sapiens (wise primates) (Jeeves and Brown, 2009). In chapter seven Jeeves and Brown discuss the…
