SCARF down your brain

This is the second part of my two part column on the neuroscience behind change. In the first column, I spoke about how the brain sees every new situation in black and white: will this help or hurt my survival? In other words, will this kill me or help me live? Threat vs. Reward is the fundamental organizing principle of the human brain.

South Korea as hostage

By Jason Lim Imagine that you are on a highjacked bus. A suicide bomber with a powerful bomb strapped to his body has you in a vice-lock from behind with a knife pointed at your jugular. By the tone of his voice and coiled readiness of his body, you can tell that he is ready to either plunge the knife into your neck or detonate the bomb.

Moon as puzzled as Romney

It’s ironic that the comments coming out of the Moon Jae-in camp sound a lot like those that came out of the Mitt Romney camp immediately after his loss to Barack Obama, which boils down to, “We thought we had it won because everything we saw, heard, and touched in the days leading up to the election told us we were going to win.

Outrage @NewYorkPost

Last week, something horrible happened in New York City. A 58-year old Korean man named Han Ki-suk was pushed off a subway platform into the path of an oncoming train.

But a freelance photographer did manage to take a picture of Han’s desperate struggles, which ended up on the front page of the New York Post.
