Cognitive Scientist Reacts | What Severance Got Right (and Wrong) About Your Brain

I'm just a guy who studied some cognitive psychology in college. I think I'm mostly correct in what I explain, but please correct me if you see any mistakes!

Please check out my other videos! I usually talk about music but I also breakdown movies and TV shows I love. I'm a one man team who writes, films, edits, animates, and researches all of the topics I talk about. I love doing this and between an office job and my social life, this is incredibly hard to make, but I do it because I want to and because I care. This video is about half a year after my last fully produced video so I hope you enjoy it!
