mirror neurons, empathy and the veil of individuality
VS Ramachandran: The neurons that shaped civilization | Video on TED.com
this is a pretty insightful talk that explains how our brains are wired to relate ourselves to other individuals in a physical way. when we watch someone, our brain is triggered in ways that mirror what they are doing or what is happening to them. your brain is not your own. . . you become your observations. fascinating stuff
