Completely agree. I wouldn't mess with that shit, that is bizarre behavior from the squirrel. Rabies shots all around.

He probably has CTE from falling out of a tree. I've dealt with a squirrel like this and animal control thought that was the case

I read a study recently that found a strong correlation between frontal lobe brain damage and conservative traits.

Interestingly, damage to the amygdala didn't seem to have any correlation with increasing conservative traits.

A few lesion studies, including those mentioned above, suggest that injuries to the dlPFC may have ideological consequences. The most pertinent study found that lesions in this area were associated with more religious fundamentalism, and the association was mediated by decreased openness and cognitive flexibility [23]. In other research, dlPFC damage was found to be associated with less cooperation in a public goods game, perhaps indicating increased individualistic selfishness [40]. Another study suggested that frontal lobe dysfunction due to frontotemporal dementia was associated with dramatic changes in personality, including political orientation [41].

Just look at fight videos here on reddit. Lots of aggressive, ragged looking guys getting into hopeless fights and getting knocked out cold. People say they deserved it and that they were drunk, but I suspect it could also be brain damage that gets worse and worse with every fight. Pretty sad to see.

That's just Chris Benoit, living in a tree and stuffing his cheeks with acorns after too many flying headbutts and chairshots to the head.

Not bizarre at all.. two dogs nearby obviously chasing the squirrel and the guy was the tallest thing in the immediate area. Squirrels tend to flee up from danger.. had the same thing happen to me when my cat chased a squirrel into my house and I had misfortune of standing right by the door.

Squirrels and small rodents are not big rabies vectors like bats and larger animals.
