That's interesting. I bet Linkadge could offer possible explanations. More reward (nucleus accumbens) and less fear (amygdala)? That's rather simplistic, though. I don't keep up with things as much now, but every time I turn around, there is another discovery that demonstrates how little we knew yesterday, and how much more we need to discover tomorrow.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
