Topics
Neil deGrasse Tyson: 好莱坞的复仇电影很赚钱，这可能表明我们对复仇上瘾了。如果复仇是一种瘾，那么一定有摆脱它的方法。我们今天要调查复仇的科学。 James Kimmel Jr.: 我小时候被霸凌，这促使我后来研究复仇的科学。我差点犯下大规模枪击案，但我最终选择了宽恕。现在，我致力于帮助人们理解复仇的成瘾性，并找到摆脱它的方法。大脑中没有专门负责复仇的部分，但当你受到委屈时，大脑的疼痛网络会被激活。接下来，大脑会激活成瘾的快感和奖励回路。前额叶皮层是你和暴力行为之间的最后一道防线。控制复仇欲望和消除生活中委屈的策略是宽恕。宽恕只对受害者有益，而不是对施害者。当你宽恕某人时，它会关闭疼痛网络。 Chuck Nice: 当人们不同意你的哲学观点时，大脑的同一区域也会被激活。社区对于成瘾的治疗非常重要。拥有强大支持系统的人在康复方面更成功。在黑人社区，这是一个非常有害的问题。如果我们将其视为公共卫生问题，并以治疗方式而不是犯罪和惩罚方式来处理，我们会更成功。 Gary O'Reilly: 宽恕在宽恕者心中是什么样的？
