Irony Overload

[Anomalocaris]

I think Prayer trips a mechanism that overrides the subconscious, processed experience based, mental curbs that normally keeps the assessment of options and possibilities from colliding with the reality as the brain has model it based on proceesed experience. I think collision with mental curbs creates sense of frustration in undisciplined minds. I think the override mechanism was evolved to enable the brain to rapidly utilize new information that it hasn't yet had time to process into brain's basic model of reality. I think tripping this mechanism creates a pleasant sense of new opportunity. I think prayer allows the brain to avoid the unpleasant frustration of collision with reality, and enjoy the false but pleasant sense of opportunity.
