free will is such a hosed up concept, which is why retribution for crimes and judgement of people and their lifestyles is so amoral

like hating on fat people - there are so many factors and virtually not one is "they choose to get fat", or hating poor people, or thinking because youre successful you're better than others because somehow you deserved it


pays to be grateful for the things you do have rather than poo poo on those that dont have them


not very yospos bitch i know

If fat people don't have free will and so aren't responsible for being fat than neither am I responsible for hating them.

your brain cells actually dont do that. the brain cells you have now are the same brain cells you will have in 30 years, most likely. there is very little neurogenesis going on; most of it occurs prenatally, after which there is a large amount of culling and synaptogenesis (connection building) until about age 25 whereafter things remain relatively static.

this is why drugs and alcohol and things that kill brain cells can be so damaging. they dont come back. ever.

actually we aren't completely sure if this is true or not, but it probably isn't! there's good evidence to suggest that adult neurogenesis occurs at least in limited regions of the brain, and some, mostly older, evidence that suggests it doesn't. either way we don't really know what the specific effects are; breakdown of normal adult neurogenesis might be linked to parkinsons, alzheimer's, huntington's disease and depression, or then again it might not be. a cool thing is that some of the evidence either way comes from carbon dating of neurons thanks to increased occurrence of a particular carbon isotope due to nuclear bomb testing

(i only read the abstracts but it's a well regarded journal and those are open access if you want a read)

adult synaptogenesis certainly occurs, although of course you are correct that it more prolific in early life and there is also ongoing synaptic pruning - in fact that pruning is thought to be essential to learning. i don't really do brain stuff any more and humans were never a focus (too many rights, ethics committees won't let you do the really interesting experiments :argh:) but there is some pretty cool & smart stuff going on in those lumps of meat. hard to tell from the output, mind
