The general stress response:

Jordan Peterson:

"so ... basically the hippocampus does something like tell your reticular activating system to take it easy as long as everything's going the way you want it to go and if it doesn't go the way you want it to go then it releases the reticular activating system from inhibition and what that seems to do is to release a whole variety of underlying neurological circuits from inhibition. So then you become anxious,  but you also become curious but it's possible that you become a lot of other things too and this is part of the generalized stress response as far as it can tell.  And what happens when when you manifest the general stress response is that your body prepares for everything, ... because you don't know what to do when something you don't expect happens."

"you know for any length of time that can be fun in small doses. ... [B]ecause people like novelty in small doses. But in large doses and chronically it's like that's death itself."

"it seems that people really don't like to have their their expectations dashed."
