    Why do people like being unkind to others in a nonconstructive way?

      I feel like this was written as a self-roast by someone in neuroscience. If it is written by someone outside of the field I would definitely agree with you though…

        Given the heavy use of subject-specific jargon, I’d guess as much. I wouldn’t go to the length of looking up neuroscience terms just to roast neuroscientists, because that just seems like a poor happy chemical return on the mental energy investment, whatever the proper terms for that might be.

        Now, if you’d ask me to build a data model to analyse my unhappiness for key influencers, we’re in business.

          To be fair, the neuroscience terminology used is pretty surface level, one wikipedia stroll would have done it.
