Enigma Do Medo Jun 2026

Hoje, a "grama alta" é um e-mail do chefe com tom severo. O "predador" é a humilhação social de postar uma opinião impopular nas redes sociais. O "perigo de morte" é a ansiedade de não pagar as contas no fim do mês. Para a amígdala, porém, a reação é idêntica. Eis o primeiro grande enigma:
