So basically people get the idea that "the human brain finishes developing at age 25" and have zero context for that statement and have zero clue about what they're talking about. In nature, 100,000 years ago, a young bride or a young warrior/hunter would be "fully cooked" and ready to go at around age 13. If that youngin' managed to make it age 25? They weren't bitten by a viper? They didn't starve to death? They weren't ripped to pieces by a jaguar? As far as naturalistic biology is concerned you've probably reproduced by age 25, still living just fine, whatever it is you're doing it's working for you. To help that 25 year old continue to do what's working and not fuck that up it down regulates neuroplasticity. That is a *down-regulation* not a complete shut-off.

How to up regulate neuroplaticity what would happen back then is some sort of catastrophe would steal away all your attention. Like say a giant flood destroyed your entire village. Very hard to exercise your ingrained habit of sleeping in your mud hut or cooking out in the village bonfire when it's all been washed away. So it's a matter of heavy focus on the new thing and removing access/putting obstacles in front of the triggers to the old thing.

In short: I was laid off from job during the pandemic and considering the world might be ending? I thought what harm could possibly come by testing the waters in more risky self-experimentation waters. So what if the keto diet might cause me a heart attack 5 years earlier than expected? So what if red meat might make me more obese? The world's ending. So what.

Separation from usual habit subroutines. Hyper focus on other thing.
