In my opinion, this quote oversimplifies things. The brain does seek balance when hurt, and yes, schadenfreude and even revenge can light up reward circuits. But we’re just as wired for empathy and reflection. Retaliation isn’t the default. It’s simply one option.

This package, bound for Dublin, marks the 30th time I’ve sent @lisafeldmanbarrett.bsky.social’s book to someone who has been to one of my talks. The book is both brilliant and relevant to anyone who wants to understand what it means to be human!

Happy 11th birthday to our very special boy. He's given us eleven years of pure joy and love and long may it continue. 💗🎂🐶

On a quick visit to the North East. Popped to see my Mum and wish her happy birthday for next week. She would have been 78. ❤️🩹

We should be more alarmed with the “I’m not familiar with this film” numbers. I mean, how can 37% of people not be familiar with The Holiday or Trading Places?

It's incredible how quickly you can retrain your 'muscle memory' (or more accurately, your habitual neural pathways) to stop instinctively clicking on Twitter and start visiting Bluesky instead. These new neural connections form surprisingly fast!
