	// INTRODUCTION //
	//////////////////

	"intro0": "So, I always used to get anxiety.",
	"intro1": "Then I would get anxiety ABOUT getting anxiety.",
	"intro2": "It was anxiety all the way down.",
	"intro3": "",

	// PROPAGATION //
	/////////////////

	"prop0": "Hi, I'm Nicky Case,",
	"prop1": "and this is an interactive explanation about neurons.",
	"prop2": "Yup! You can actually interact with this,",
	"prop3": "♬ so why don't you try that thing ♬",
	"prop4": "and click on a neuron, and see what happens?",

	"prop5": "Ex-CUSE me, I was talking!... I'm just kidding.",

	"prop6": "Okay, wow, you're really into this, clicking EVERYTHING,",
	"prop7": "COOL. GOT IT. AWESOME.",

	"prop8": "Yeah!",
	"prop8.5": "Watch how the signals propagate down,",
	"prop9": "from neuron to neuron to neuron.",
	"prop10": "Try clicking some more.",

	"prop11": "Of course, this is a simplified model,",
	"prop12": "but that's roughly how neurons work.",
	"prop13": "One thought fires the next, and so on,",
	"prop14": "but... in the ANXIOUS brain...",

	"mesmerizing": "Kind of mesmerizing, isn't it?",

	//////////////
	// MY FEARS //
	//////////////

	"fear0": "THIS is what happens.",
	"fear1": "Innocent thoughts connect to anxious thoughts.",
	"fear2": "Personally, I used to be so afraid of being seen as a failure,",
	"fear3": "of being close to people,",
	"fear4": "and of...",
	"fear5": "holes.",
	"fear6": "Coz... I don't know why, but tightly clustered holes",
	"fear7": "just kinda creep me out, y'know? I dunno.",
	
	//////////////////////
	// HEBBIAN LEARNING //
	//////////////////////

	"hebb0": "[SOUNDS]",
	"hebb1": "Anyway... how do we learn these fears in the first place?",
	"hebb2": "Well, to explain that, let me get rid of all this...",
	"hebb3": "and give you...",
	"hebb4": "this!",

	"hebb5": "Hebbian Learning.",
	"hebb6": "“Neurons that fire together, wire together.”",

	"hebb7": "This is a rule of thumb that neuroscientists use to describe how",
	"hebb8": "neurons make new connections.",
	"hebb9": "Basically, if you fire one neuron, then fire another neuron,",
	"hebb10": "the first neuron will connect TO the second neuron.",
	"hebb11": "Try it out for yourself!",

	"hebb12": "Too slow! You didn't click fast enough. Try again?",
	"hebb13": "Not close enough. Try a different pair of neurons.",

	"hebb14": "And that's how we learn!",
	"hebb15": "Of course, we don't learn that quickly in real life,",
	"hebb16": "I sped this simulation up, eh, but still.",
	"hebb17": "Now play around, make a few more connections,",
	"hebb18": "maybe make a chain or something.",

	"hebb19": "This learning rule is why, if you were bitten by a dog as a kid,",
	"hebb20": "you might develop a fear of dogs!",
	"hebb21": "Because your 'dog' neuron fired, then your 'pain' neuron fired.",
	"hebb22": "And thus, 'dog' connected to 'pain'.",

	///////////////////////////
	// ANTI-HEBBIAN LEARNING //
	///////////////////////////

	"anti0": "Anyway, if that's how we learn, here's how we un-learn.",
	
	"anti1": "Anti-Hebbian Learning.",
	"anti2": "“Neurons that fire out of sync, lose their link.”",
	
	"anti3": "Another rule of thumb neuroscientists have!",

	"anti4": "So - if you already have a connection from one neuron to another,",
	"anti5": "and you fire the first neuron WITHOUT firing the second neuron,",
	"anti6": "the connection weakens.",
	"anti7": "Again, try it out.",

	"anti8": "That neuron didn't have any connections.",
	"anti9": "You need to find one that's connected.",
	"anti10": "Ah, so that neuron only has connections going TO it, but not FROM it.",
	"anti11": "You need to find one that has connections FROM it.",

	"anti12": "Now wait for it...",
	"anti13": "And look! The connection's weaker.",
	"anti14": "Do that again, and this time, the connection will be totally killed.",

	"anti15": "And this unlearning rule is why, if you have a fear of dogs,",
	"anti16": "and you're exposed to friendly dogs over and over again,",
	"anti17": "you might unlearn that fear.",
	"anti18": "'Dog' neuron gets fired, WITHOUT the 'pain' neuron getting fired,",
	"anti19": "and therefore - the connection weakens.",

	/////////////
	// THERAPY //
	/////////////

	"ther0": "So now that you know how we learn & unlearn, let's revisit...",
	"ther1": "...this.",

	"ther2": "I want you to re-train this brain.",
	"ther3": "Rewire, reconnect each of these three things,",
	"ther4": "from feeling fear, to feeling safe.",

	"ther5": "See, rewiring yourself may cause anxiety in the short term...",
	"ther6": "...but it is SO worth it in the long term.",

	"ther7": "One down, two more to go.",
	"ther8": "Two down, one more to go.",
	"ther9": "i. still. don't. like. holes.",

	"ther10": "And... you did it!",

	"ther11": "What you just did is called 'exposure therapy'.",
	"ther12": "It's one of the most evidence-backed therapies out there",
	"ther13": "for treating specific phobias, PTSD, and other anxiety disorders.",

	// OUTRO //

	"outro0": "Again, in real life, rewiring yourself is not easy, it's not quick,",
	"outro1": "but it can be done.",
	"outro2": "I promise you -- I'm proof --",
	"outro3": "It can be done.",

	"cred0": "Hey, huge thanks to all my Patreon supporters, because without them,",
	"cred1": "I wouldn't be able to make these weird interactive things,",
	"cred2": "and I'd probably be forced to get a real job.",
	"cred3": "So if you'd like to help me keep making stuff like this,",
	"cred4": "and be credited in the next thing I make,",
	"cred5": "check out my Patreon!",

	"cred6": "The music you're listening to was made by the wonderful Phyrnna,",

	"cred9": "It was a collaboration I did with Vi Hart -- yes, *that* Vi Hart! :D --",
	"cred10": "about systemic bias and diversity.",

	"cred11": "And remember, this interactive explanation was just an introduction.",
	"cred12": "So if you wanna learn more, *definitely* check out the further reading",

	"cred14": "Orrrrr you could just play with the sandbox on the left",

Hi, I quickly pulled together this traslation into Brazilian Portuguese. If you want to have a look! Thank you so much for the interactive video, I really like it and hope this translation lets it get across to more people :)
