The Big Lie Dies! Welcome back, Truth, we missed you.

23. we know.

it goes like this- a fetus tests its environment all the time. it measures it's mom's adrenaline levels. it adapts it's development to the environment it is about to enter.
stress is high? more fast twitch muscle, heightened fight or flight adaptations. it's dangerous to be altruistic here.
low? 'higher functions'. think- artists and thinkers hardware. and it's safe to be a good person.

this continues in early development. stress can be anything, tho poverty is the most common problem. but it could be a well-to-do mom who is sick, or taking care of an ailing parent.
side note- i think at about 2-3, all kids lie. i think this is a test. do they see me? hear me? r they paying attention? if u get away w lies, you know you have to harden up. you arent in a good place.

how we treat babies and moms is and always has been the key to it all.
