A condition of this sort crossed with psychopathy and sociopathy is a lethal manifest.

My ‘amygdala’ must be massive and always have been. I think it’s probably grown.

Her name is SM: …How convenient

Is it possible to loose a little bit of Amygdala?

I remember a poster in a biology lab I saw ages ago which made reference to the function of the amygdala. It claimed that if you removed it from a monkey and put said monkey in a cage with a lion it would show no fear. It would even remain totally apathetic to danger if the lion started to chew it.
The poster never mentioned how they came to know that’s what the monkey would do and I’m not entirely sure I want to know whether that was a hypothetical or an actual scientific experiment.
But the whole idea of being eaten and just thinking – “meh, looks like I’m being eaten. Bloody typical…” has a kind of perverse appeal.
