Well, howdy there internet people? It's Bo again. So today we're going to talk

about juries and freezing and apparently being into it. We're going to do this because I got a message from somebody in Australia who was having

like a friendly debate and one of my videos about Fight, Flight, or Freese, I guess helped

in the debate somehow.

There was something else in the message, though, that I didn't know was occurring, and after

hearing that it was, I kind of feel obligated to talk about something and clarify something

about acute stress responses.

You know most people and if you're eligible to serve on a jury, please watch this whole thing.

Most people are very familiar with fight or flight.

They know what that is.

Okay?

Freeze not so much.

It's a little bit more ambiguous.

They all come from the same place.

You know, people chalk it up to oh well freeze means

you're scared. Well so does fight or flight. You've perceived a threat a

danger of some kind and you get a biological response. It gives you adrenaline, it gives

you pain inhibitors, all kinds of stuff. To help you if you have to fight. To help you if you have

to run, you know, that's what it's there for.

Fries is also part of this set of acute stress responses.

The people who really study this have three reasons that freeze exists that I'm aware of.

There may be more.
