Neuroscience and the Hidden Drug in Mormonism w/ Mat Sillito

from The Mormon History Hoedown

Buckle up to use your brains; we're talking neuroscience. Before I share how my 30 days of Mormonizing went, I wanted to open up about some big-picture ideas. I’m joined by Mat Sillito to talk about why belief isn’t just ideas in your head, it’s what your body rehearses. We get into the brain’s default mode network, how environments trigger responses before you “choose” them, and why rituals can function like drugs: shaping attention, identity, anxiety, and connection.Subscribe to @drugfactswithdrmat Link: https://www.youtube.com/@UCM5hJmIY3yxtj5exJ-IESLQAll the Carah Burrell links 🔗 https://linktr.ee/nuancehoeCarah Burrell Substack: https://substack.com/@carahburrell?Help me continue making important, hilarious content by becoming a one-time or monthly donor!🤝 DONATE via DONORBOX! https://donorbox.org/thanks-for-the-amazing-content-carah-let-me-help-you-keep-it-funded👩‍💻 Join the Hoetown community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nuancehoe🍯 Tip Jar (Venmo: CarahB): https://account.venmo.com/u/CarahB📫 Contact Nuancehoe: [email protected]
