Parasite from Cat Litter May Help Create Entrepreneurs - Mysterious Universe

There's a je ne sais quois about cats in human culture. Humans either despise these precious babies, or completely adore 'em. Those who are good, but misguided, in their opinion of cats will claim an allergy to avoid interaction. Ailurophiles, on the other hand, have a slavish devotion to Felis catus, smiling while scooping stinky litter, dishing out goopy cat food, for the sake of altruism. Or is it altruism, as Dr. Paul Seaburn proposes from new research from the University of Colorado, Boulder, underscores heaps of research suggesting Toxoplasmosis gondii encourages risky behavior. What kind of risk does capitalism encourage? Entrepreneurship, taking advantage of venture capitalists and angel investors for cold, hard cash. Keeping that in mind, consider Mark Barna's thought experiment concerning How A Worldwide Parasitic Infection Might Shape Human Behavior. What does this have to do with the price of catnip in Red China? Hie thee to Grant Morrison's heir-apparent, John Reppion, busily consecrating the host while affirming You Are Legion, For You Are Many. It's not some chaos Catholic(k) rite, but a treatise upon how the bugs in our guts and bodies control, or nudge, our behavior. If that's the case, Darold Treffert's been puzzled about how A Person Can Instantly Blossom Into A Savant and not even Science! knows why! If any maverick researchers do scan The Anomalist, even for the lulz, consider surveying a gut microbiome for parasites and bacteria with the potential to boost, well, our brain's potential. (CS)
