939: Bigdala

The "Bigdala" Theory of Political Insanity

The hosts propose a theory called "Bigdala" to describe individuals whose political reactions are driven by an enlarged amygdala and a shrunken prefrontal cortex. They suggest that the intense hatred for Donald Trump seen in public figures is a measurable medical condition that impairs logical decision-making. They call for the use of MRIs to study how political polarization may be physically altering the brains of those in "Dimension B."
