You know that feeling where you're walking alone at night in a city where nobody knows you and your whole life suddenly makes sense?

There's a reason that hits different than anything you feel at home.

Your brain has two modes that almost never run at the same time. One handles paying attention to new things around you. The other handles thinking about yourself, your past, your future. They work like a seesaw. When one goes up, the other goes down. At home, your brain filters out 90% of your surroundings before you're even conscious of them. Everything is familiar. So the seesaw barely moves.

A foreign city at night breaks that.

Every street sign you can't read, every smell you can't name, every traffic pattern that feels wrong floods your hippocampus with dopamine and norepinephrine. Your brain is treating every single input as new. Meanwhile there's no task. No meeting. No one to perform for. No one even knows your name. So instead of your self-reflection system shutting down like it normally does when your environment gets intense, it stays fully online.

Two systems that normally suppress each other firing in parallel. That almost never happens.

The dopamine makes the moment feel significant. The norepinephrine burns it into long-term memory at a depth that your Tuesday commute never touches. And while all of this is happening, your brain is running old memories of who you used to be against present-tense sensory proof of where you are now.

That "how far I've come" feeling is a real neurochemical event. Your brain is building the most emotionally loaded version of your own story it can, in real time, at 20 watts, inside your skull.

French-American here — spent 20 yrs in France, 13 in the US. Let me speak to this.

I think the only reason Europoors tolerate their miserable existence is because they tell themselves lies about what the rest of the world is like. They eat gruel in their AC-less social housing while the most awesome party in history is being thrown just next door.

If you hang out in France, you'll routinely hear them say things like: "in the US, people die in front of hospitals" (they literally believe this to be the case) or "our social system is the envy of the world."

Their image of the US is completely delusional, and they are often shocked to discover that when they visit here. Their Marxist media brainwashed them into thinking America is some Dickensian horror, with Monopoly-style fat capitalists running around with their top hats and monocles, exploiting dirt poor workers.

The reality is that:

* Social security is (unfortunately) the largest gov expense in the US
* Hospitals are by law forbidden to refuse care to people
* Americans are so much richer than French people it's not even funny. The *poorest* of our 50 states (Missisipi) has a GDP per capita of $53k, 36%(!) higher than France's $39k.

Now, how do Americans perceive the French (and Europeans at large)?

Well, the tragic reality is that they really, truly don't think of them. They may cross their minds once a month, at most. Why would they think of that irrelevant backwater of a continent?

The few times they do come to mind, it is, at best, as a quaint vacation spot. A nice place to sip espresso and spend their American dollars — which go such a long way in these third world countries! The closest comparison is how Europeans think of Thailand or Cambodia.

That's at best. At worst, they think they're a lazy, entitled, smug, snobbish, rude people with a bright future behind them, who confuse regulation for progress, don't realize their economies were left in the dust a very long time ago, simply stopped innovating because they've lost the will, ability, or both, and who would rather brag about their 60%(!!) public spending to GDP ratio than fix their communist shit hole of a system.

Nice wine though.

@Antonin_FR_ Le mec ferait tout pour vendre son livre c’est d’une aberration. Manipuler l’opinion publique de la sorte, en toute conscience de ses propos, est dégoûtant. Il devrait être sanctionné mais il est applaudit et mis en lumière par… le service public … déroutant

[Pando @sixelapando]

@PhilippineLan @GerardAraud Je me demandais quel intérêt Zucman avait à faire le tour des plateaux et rabâcher tous les jours des propos complètement fallacieux. Pas une apparition sans mentionner son livre.
