With increased family time over the holidays and less opportunity to spend time outdoors, there’s a pretty good chance someone is going to pull out an old board game and lay down a challenge. While we all love to win, few can handle a loss.
Neurologists are telling us now that while we know it’s just a game, our brains aren’t physiologically designed to make the distinction. We end up experiencing a loss like it’s real. More
Who the fuck are these psychologists talking about? I’ve been able to make the distinction between losing in a game and losing for real since I was 7 years old. Board flippers are goddamn nutters and everyone knows it.
Looks like fertile ground for social justice warriors. Can’t wait.
Yep. Parcheesi does it every year. I am starting to think that game is more demonic than the Ouija board.
My brain knows it is a game.
When I play monopoly, I know the moneys fake, I can’t fit in the car let alone drive it. The hat doesn’t fit my head. It would take a lifetime to press my slacks with that teenie iron. Nutologists, pphhhhhtttttttt!
So, since we “evolved animals” can’t distinguish games from real life then the entire world should cancel all school sports since nobody can distinguish a soccer game from combat to the death…
It’s an NBC article. Go figure…
“We end up experiencing a loss like it’s real.”
Who the ef is ‘we’, a-hole. It’s YOU. You goddam waste of human shit.
Oh, and Merry Christmas.
He must have examined only lefties to reach this conclusion. And since they’re delusional about everything else in life this isn’t a shocker.
You mean I didn’t actually lose all those patients I was operating on?
Although I’ve always been competitive and don’t like to loose, I knew by the age of 5 it was just a game.
All the above affirm my view of head shrinks…
Reminds me of the peer-reviewed scientific article about why we always dream in black-and-white. It seems that no psychologists dream in color.
Morons like this are why kids can’t play dodge ball in school anymore.
@Different Tim. Have you ever tried ironing a shirt with the Monopoly iron. It took me two days. Burnt the heck out of my fingertips too.
