Very interesting. I don’t find this disturbing and it makes a lot of sense to me.
I’ve long known that my “salience network” is over active and / or an asshole. People often describe these as intrusive thoughts or “l’appel du vide” (call of the void) but I get warnings from that fuckhead all the time. “It would be so terrible if you plunged that knife into your belly right now”. Also just spiralling catastrophising anxiety like “That work thing you’re worried about is gonna turn out so bad”… and so on and so forth.
IDK if I would’ve naturally come to the conclusion that there are 3 distinct networks. For me it feels like there are 6 or so, with some overlap.
