The Malleability of the Brain and Resource Allocation Issues

The brain's malleability is underutilized, revealing an absurd and immoral resource mismatch in society.

### The Malleability of the Brain and the Misallocation of Resources
* 🧠 Our brain exhibits remarkable **malleability and plasticity**, especially during **early development**.
* 🌍 Society has engineered a lifestyle that minimizes time, energy, and resources spent on **nurturing the brain at its most adaptable stage**.
* 🤯 This phenomenon reflects a form of "**social-cultural insanity**" that needs **urgent attention and correction**.
* 👽 If an outsider were to assess human biology alongside our resource allocation, they would find the **disparity shocking**.
* ⚖ The current mismatch between our biological needs and societal resources is not just **illogical** but can be deemed **immoral**.
* 💡 It is imperative that we recognize and address this issue to **better support the brain's development and potential**.

our brain is incredibly malleable and very plastic, particularly early in life. And again, we've sort of invented ourselves into a world where we spend the least amount of time, least amount of energy, least amount of resources at the time when the brain is most malleable to shape it. And so, that's just a form of social-cultural insanity that we have to remedy. We just, it's, you know, if you came from outer space and you looked at the biology of the human organism and then you looked at the allocation of resources, you'd go, What the hell? I mean, the mismatch is absurd. And in fact, I would argue at this point, the mismatch is immoral.

The Malleability of the Brain and Resource Allocation

The brain is highly malleable and plastic, especially during early life.

Society has created a system that minimizes time, energy, and resources during this crucial period for shaping the brain.

This mismatch in resource allocation is seen as absurd and even immoral.
