Who are you talking to?

In the heat of the moment, it is essential to remember who you are talking to.

You are not talking to the person you know. You are talking to their amygdala.

The amygdala reacts 2 seconds faster than our prefrontal cortex, also known as the human brain.

That is the part that can reason. The amygdala has no capacity for this, so don’t even try.
