Aggression is critical to survival, but so is learning when to suppress aggressive impulses. Is it appropriate to head-butt someone who insults your sister during a world championship soccer game when a penalty could cost your team the trophy? Words may provoke, but context matters. Over normal development, impulsive aggressive tendencies diminish, reason rules, and strict social rules about aggression become a guidepost for navigating through adolescence and adulthood.
As the title suggests, Biology of Aggression is heavily weighted toward understanding the role of biology in aggressive behavior. This timely volume covers genetics, neurotransmitters, hormones, development, pharmacology and psychophysiology. Almost all the chapters are up to date, point out weaknesses in previous investigations and suggest future directions—a real help to the novice in this area. Of course, one principal reason that neuroscientists study aggression is to learn how to modulate it in humans and perhaps how to cope with it in other species. This book provides a good yardstick to measure where we stand in attaining those goals, while making clear that we are not yet able to predict with any useful degree of precision who will be aggressive and when they will be aggressive.
In humans, aggression comes in many forms: verbal, physical, sexual; with or without a weapon; impulsive or premeditated. As noted in the book, a major problem is the absence of a widely acceptable definition for aggression across different species and adequately validated scales for kind and severity of aggressive acts. Despite these inherent limitations, the book articulates some clear findings on the relationships of brain structure, chemistry, physiology, and aggression.
We've all seen the Matrix, right? We haven't!? Oh shit man, we gotta watch it!

What he should have said is: Mental Chronometry is the use of response time in perceptual-motor tasks to infer the content,
duration, and temporal sequencing of cognitive operations. Mental chronometry is one of the core paradigms of experimental and
cognitive psychology, and has found application in various disciplines including cognitive psychophysiology/cognitive neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience to elucidate mechanisms underlying cognitive processing.
Mental chronometry is studied using the measurements of reaction time (RT). Reaction time is the elapsed time between the
presentation of a sensory stimulus and the subsequent behavioral response. In psychometric psychology it is considered to
be an index of speed of processing. That is, it indicates how fast the thinker can execute the mental operations needed
by the task at hand. In turn, speed of processing is considered an index of processing efficiency. The behavioral response
is typically a button press but can also be an eye movement, a vocal response, or some other observable behavior.
"Shaolin Kung Fu"
Shaolin Kung Fu refers to a collection of Chinese martial arts that claim affiliation with the Shaolin Monastery. Of the tens of thousands of kung fu and wushu styles, several hundred might have some relationship to Shaolin; however, aside from a few very well known systems, such as Xiao Hong Quan, the Da Hong Quan, Yin Shou Gun, Damo Sword, etc., it would be almost impossible to establish a verifiable connection to the Temple for any one particular art.

Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973) was a Chinese American and Hong Kong actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He is considered one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century, and a cultural icon.
Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world, particularly among the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese nationalism in
his films. While Lee initially trained in Wing Chun, he later rejected well-defined martial art styles, favouring instead to
utilise useful techniques from various sources in the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy he dubbed Jeet Kune Do
(The Way of the Intercepting Fist).

I have a way to give myself self-confidence without being a bad person...
Foo Fighters - Wind up
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you've been delt
spare me confession
it's confession you sell
maybe I'll fall behind
but I don't mind
'cause I'll catch up
I want a song that's indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
will you be happy when we're sharing a cell?
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you'll realize
that I get shy and I choke up
I want a song that's indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
what is wrong with this animal?
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
farewell my sweet paramania
farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I'll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet
take the beating
until I take it back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
I want a song that's indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
what is wrong with this animal?
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
