Re: You are not so smart

The chapter on supernormal releasers goes on to describe an obscene idea but I believe it applies for other areas too


'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'
'God exists because Mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists because we cannot prove it'

Re: You are not so smart

It is an exaggarated version of stimulus. For example junk food and its advertisement are supernormal stimuli to the desire for  exaggerated stimulus to cravings for salt, sugar, and fats
