Brain never stops developing, thoughts change

The human brain is not fully developed until the individual is about 24 years old. Did insurance companies know of the research to prove it? Or did they look at statistics and find more men under 25 were involved in accident claims? Well, no matter, I for one believed I had a full brain when I was 18. After all, I could vote and whatever else the law wasn't looking over regarding my life.
I started out looking for the source of the human spirit. I looked for evidence that a human brain began without a female or male inclination and found that research supports that as truth. Although the physical mass of the brain is about 2% of the individual's total body mass, nowhere does it specify that the smaller individual is destined to make coffee or wash dishes or clean house or keep a job for its lifetime. I am acquainted with some naturally small men and some naturally big women. Size does not put them in any particular category of work in this century.
The brain is a strange organ considering that the surfaces folded in to put more surface in the small space nature allowed for it. Diane Ackerman decided it looked like a gym bag crammed full of used clothing because of the unorganized folding it contains. But that's where we think. That's where we store memories and experiences. And that's where we change over a lifetime. In fact, each individual likely changes with each new set of experiences she or he is willing to think about. Scary isn't it?
Actually it gives us the real hope for our species. We can outthink war. We can think peace. So let's do it!
