The Biology of Good and Evil

I attended the talk with speaker Robert Sapolsk a neuroscientist professor from Stanford. His talk was divided into the different levels of the mind and the different times that it could be imprinted. He spoke about the amygdala and how it was the fear center of the brain and how your hormones would reach it faster than visual information. He spoke about how that is problematic and causes split second decision to go wrong. His example was how officers often mistake toy guns for the real thing because they act before they properly analyze their environment and often times they have an implicit bias which doesn't help either.
