      @@thisisme3161 Well, kinda. It's more of an efficiency matter, really, as in it's more efficient to leave all the repetitive biological stuff to the more robotic and repetitive subconscious mind while leaving the conscious mind - the one with free access to stuff like learning, speech, etc. - to deal with the outside world.

      Psychiatry is really like voodoo. They only have conjecture and guesses concerning the brain. They spit out lies, misinformation to maintain power and authority, but truthfully psychiatry is lost because they will not admit to failures in their methods and treatments . People will never know the truth because Psychiatry hides it, to support a constant stream of revenue.

    The brain is also considered the most complex and sophisticated mechanism known to mankind. This video didn't get to address the LIMBIC system which is responsible for our thoughts, emotions, actions, memory, and many other critical aspects necessary for our survival.

    If you think about it evolutionarily, we started with basic inputs (brainstem), slowly evolved to develop coordination (diencephalon) and then continued to evolved after that to have things like language and executive functioning (cerebrum). You can trace our evolution just by looking at the picture of the brain and seeing the more it grew the more complex we became.
    I wonder if humans continued to grow millenia from now what other additions to our brain would come out?

    More of our senses?
    If we learn the alphabet
    Ok. Learn it by sign language.
    Also learn Braille.

    Even if you can see & hear.
    I've read that it takes about 2 years to learn Braille 😳
    Now reading lips I've not made it this far 👄 However sometimes we all can read lips in a phrase at certain moment too. But,
    To say the least the journey of learning could be limitless An this journey astronomical .
