The Red Wagon As Human Mind

a: The amygdala ~
b: red wagon

What: "The amygdala is like the red wagon. Everyone has one, and all the collected doyles are stored in it. Just like in the red wagon story, if you examined the contents of each red wagon, you'd find similar contents, but also drastic differences. Some kid's father is a druggist and his little red wagon has a lot of pill bottles, for example."

a: bullying ~
b: getting inoculated

What:

"Bullying is a vital part of every ecosystem, it teaches kids resilience. The world is a rough place; bullying is like getting inoculated. It's a vaccine! And you little shits, you got to learn to stay away from people like my son. That's what you learn when you get punched in the face by a bully! How you think Steve Jobs turned out so great? Bullies. And I guarantee you junior here will be getting the hottest chicks when he's 30, because he got bullied today. What, you want to hit the peak now? My kid will be picking roadside garbage up in an orange jump suit in 10 years, and your kid in med school, curing cancer, and getting laid. You're welcome!"
