"Gifts of wandering ice" updates on Mondays and Fridays


Paypal and Payoneer no longer work in my country, so I can't get money from Ko-fi, Gumroad, Buymeacoffe and ComicAd (the ad banners here).
The only tip jar I have left is Boosty. It accepts Paypal, all cards, any currency, then it converts it into rubles and sends to me. Boosty works the same way as Patreon + accepts one-time donations like Ko-fi and allows selling ebooks.



Page 319 - Mirror neurons
September 2, 2016
Mirror neurons in our brain fire both when we make and action and observe someone else making it. They play an important role in empathy and learning, and their activity is on a spectrum on one end of which there are empaths and on the other there are sociopaths. "Normal" people are somewhere in the middle. Mirror neurons activity depends on a number of specific genes and is hereditary. Elie is an empath, that's why reminiscences triggered by certain ice gifts are so painful for her: her mirror neurons perfectly reproduce the pain and suffering if there were any in the reminiscence. As if they were her own.
