Neuroimaging studies have shown that the amygdala, the tiny almond-shaped brain structure that mediates fear, is larger in people with more rightwing views

Provocative headline, good read.

On a less serious note, does the small Nazi in us have an even smaller Nazi inside them?

Scary to think that it could be Nazis all the way down.

I only recently discovered the Chris and Jack channel. It's great. Their George Lucas and genie wish sketches are also amazing.

Ooh, TY! I'm constantly on the search for amusement.

Maybe it starts, with a nod to xiouxiou, by polishing the mirror until there is no mirror for the motes to land?

Like a nesting doll. A Nazting doll.

When the smaller nazi inside the small nazi gets bigger than the small nazi is when the nazi takes over.

The small nazi phenomena can be modelled by a perturbative expansion

N = 1 + a^1^ + a^2^ + a^3^ + ...

As long as the relative smaller nazi size, represented by 'a', is smaller than one the series converges and you are not a nazi. When 'a' is larger than one, the smaller nazi in the small nazis is actually bigger, e.g. a^2^ > a, and you are in the nonperturbative regime of the small nazi model, and you'd be called a "full blown nazi". AdS/CFT postulates you can model the nonperturbative regime with a tankie-description, but the theory is controversial.

No. They’ve got a really nice and chill leftist who just wants to help everyone that they’re repressing.

But that leftist, they’ve got an even smaller nazi inside of them.

There's a good Nazi and a bad Nazi within you. Only feed the gutenazi
