Imagine this scenario. You’re walking along the sidewalk and you come to a crosswalk. You’re lost in thought and forget to check for traffic before crossing the street. Just as you step forward into the street, a horn from a bus blares. You leap back without a moment’s thought. Your heart races as the bus zooms by, inches from your face. Your instinctual response has just saved your life. Instantly, powerfully, and without hesitation, your brain hijacked your body and pulled you to safety.
