Video games and the brain


 the brain cannot distinguish “virtual reality from real time” … 

the brain is interrupting what is being input into it as “real” … a “pattern of neurons are formed” and the brain is slowly rewired to see “violence” as a game or even fun …
 This constant input of violence via video games is changing the thinking and reactive brain, it is normalizing asocial behavior… hopefully for most the rational brain and the frontal lobes can stop this process …

Virtual reality is used to train athletics / airline pilots/ the military / brain damaged individuals….   why just about everywhere it is used and has been proved to be just as successful as or more so than actual real time training …


So these violent video games “are not just fun” for the ones who play them … these games are changing their brain and releasing endorphins … making “death and violence pleasurable” … is it then a leap to take such behavior into the “real world” and harm society … no it is not …

Yet most modern day families allow their very young children to play these violent video games for hours’ everyday … it is prevalent in adults as well …

..... why just last week I learned of a Catholic priest who spends his “off time” playing video games … hmmm you would think a priest would spend his “off time in prayer” and try to wire his brain for grace …
