On The Origin Of Akmalkin Skywalker's Reptilian Brain

Posted by EngineeringProfit > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

The "reptilian brain," referring to the brainstem and basal ganglia, governs basic survival instincts like fear, aggression, and dominance. In a highly indoctrinated individual, these instinctual responses become the primary mode of behavior. Rather than engaging in thoughtful deliberation or considering alternative viewpoints, he reacts with defensive aggression or blind allegiance, reminiscent of survival-based responses. This regression towards more instinctual, survival-oriented brain function is problematic in modern, complex societies. The underdevelopment of the PFC leaves individuals less equipped to navigate social, ethical, and intellectual challenges, making them more susceptible to manipulation and less capable of adaptive, empathetic, and innovative thinking. This dynamic contributes to societal problems such as groupthink, extremism, and authoritarianism, where nuanced reasoning and empathy give way to tribalism, fear, and hostility.

Indoctrination, particularly when it is rigid and extreme, can significantly affect cognitive development, especially during formative years when the brain is most plastic and vulnerable. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), responsible for higher-order functions like critical thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, and regulating emotions, matures gradually and is susceptible to environmental influence. When indoctrination dominates an individual's environment, it stifles the development of these essential functions, resulting in underdevelopment of the PFC.

Heavy indoctrination discourages independent thought, critical questioning, and intellectual exploration. Instead, it promotes obedience, conformity, and rigid adherence to a prescribed set of beliefs. Without the mental exercise of questioning, analyzing, and integrating diverse information, the PFC can become underutilized, impairing its growth and development. This cognitive stagnation can cause individuals to rely more heavily on primitive, instinctual brain functions, often associated with the limbic system and what is colloquially called the "reptilian brain."
