I was thinking about how when I get into critical-thinking mode, it's like I'm cranking on my executive functioning*. "Fire up the frontal lobe!" and all that. I was also reading Cracked the other day (I know, it's a crazy phenomenon like putting pants on or not murdering children) and if you check out #4, they mention that psychopaths have most of the higher positions in the work place. Really they should be referred to as sociopaths, but once you get into it it's pretty much tomato tomato (pronounce those two differently in your head. Or out loud, you crazy person you).
Anyway, in a weird twist of word play and lack of sleep, I realized that those who have the least amount of executive thinking- sociopaths/psychopaths have underdeveloped frontal lobes, which hinders the ability to plan out consequences and understand other people's emotions - have executive positions in the work place. Oh the irony! Oh the amount of time it took to explain a really stupid joke!
*executive functioning-Just so you know what that means**
**I know that it says prefrontal cortex, but thank the gods Nathan covers his ass, because BOOM!
