I find the summary quite reasonable. The following:
> Joseph E. LeDoux was positive about the possibility of learning to control the amygdala's hair-trigger role in emotional outbursts. "Once your emotional system learns something, it seems you never let it go. What therapy does is teach you how to control it—it teaches your neocortex how to inhibit your amygdala. The propensity to act is suppressed, while your basic emotion about it remains in a subdued form."[11]
also makes a lot of sense to me. It reminds me of the highest-rated visual novel of all time, Muv-Luv Alternative, which really retrains your brain so that you know to control your emotions and act responsibly and calmly even under the most adversarial and unexpected circumstances. It is the only piece of literally life-changing art that I've ever come across and I recommend everybody to read it. https://vndb.org/v92 https://vndb.org/v92
