核心要点
Why a Failed Date Led to a Scientific Revolution
A cognitive scientist tried to impress someone with acid jazz and failed spectacularly. This embarrassing moment sparked a profound question: What actually makes things compelling? Why do mountains steal our breath, jokes trigger uncontrollable laughter, and religious experiences move billions? The answer isn't random-it's rooted in how our minds evolved to survive. Understanding what captivates us reveals something deeper: we're not passive observers of the world but active participants in a psychological dance between ancient survival instincts and modern experiences. Our attention isn't arbitrary-it follows predictable patterns shaped by millions of years of evolution, patterns that advertisers, artists, and religious leaders have learned to exploit.
