Receptercons
During a wet Sunday of endless movie screenings from the comfort of my couch my mind drifted as it has a tendency to do to other things. Comming back to the real world after a jaunt into my own brainspace I realised that I'd completely missed a vital plot point. Alarmed I wracked my brains for what I had missed. My eyes had been observing the screen the whole time. If I could completely block the data entry comming into my head by thoughts of what pizza toppings I felt like eating that evening then how were more complex emotions and desires blocking my vision of other things. Does the 'id' have a naturally stronger persuasion over our bodies physical reactions/receptors than the 'ego' cares to temper?
