i guess its some remnant from Stage Purple magical thinking... is there any explanation for this fairly random behaviour?

why do you think ascetics go into caves, forests and deserts, its not just our modern society, its always been this way

Science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition. Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. Facts are not pure and unsullied bits of information; culture also influences what we see and how we see it. Theories, moreover, are not inexorable inductions from facts. The most creative theories are often imaginative visions imposed upon facts; the source of imagination is also strongly cultural. [Stephen Jay Gould, introduction to "The Mismeasure of Man," 1981]

Of course not, but there is a point where I want to get to where it is manageable, getting frozen up and tounge-tied is not where I want to be, and my subconscious is giving me clues all the time that something needs to change. Analogy: I dont like flying sometimes because it makes me a bit claustrophobic especially on long flights, but it doesnt make me so anxious that I avoid it. Now imagine someone who kicks and screams everytime someone drags them on a flight, theres a huge difference isnt it?
