  1. Wow, the way our brain adapts without us even noticing is insane 😳 I made a short that dives into how your brain is literally rewiring itself while you watch — would love to hear what you think about it!”

  2. Imagine what being in a crowd does to a five-year-old, when their brain isn't even fully formed yet. It makes a crowd-being out of you and stimulates primate instincts. Primate social dynamics—hierarchy, mimicry, aggression, grooming-for-status—are the same primitives that animate human crowd behaviour.

  3. Interesting. Now I understand Pat and Paul Churchland much better. I thought they were nuts. Now I see that I didn't have enough knowledge to understand their position on free will and consciousness as portrayed in the book: Conversations on Consciousness by Susan Blackmore. Another thing is I didn't fully appreciated the question by another in that book, "It's not a question of control, it's a question of how much."
