First of all, I knew most of those facts, and couldn't care less (slave teeth actually makes sense), nor does the sanctimonious and presumptuous explanation of the phenomenon the author assumes governs decisions and reactions mean anything. "Guess what! A part of your brain is responsible for your negative reactions to facts you have reason not to accept!" No shit. What did you THINK was causing them? The toe for real? How is that supposed to change anyone's mind or make any sort of difference? This is just a form of humble-bragging about the author's own supposed enlightenment while explaining how and why he is justified in dismissing anyone who disagrees with him.
