I need a prefrontal cortex so I can stay focused on the big picture and long haul goals. Now, I'm a child. I'm in this village. I'm kind of wandering around, and I've got some safety, and I need to learn about this culture because I know so little. What's the best way to do that? Let's explore. I don't want to be constrained by goals as much. I want to really be free. Play and explore and learn.

So you don't want a super tight prefrontal cortex. You don't even know what the goals should be yet, right? It's like, if you're trying to design a model that's based on a bad goal, it's not gonna work well, right? So then you go late in life and you say, oh, why don't you have a great prefrontal cortex then?

But I think, I mean, if you go back and you think, how many species actually stick around naturally long after their childbearing years are over, after their reproductive years are over? Like menopause, from what I understand, menopause is not all that common in the animal world, right? So why would that happen?

And so I saw Alison Gopnik said something about this, so I started to look into this, about this idea that, you know, really, when you're older, in most societies, your job is no longer to form new episodic memories. It's to pass on the memories that you already have, this knowledge about the world, what we call semantic memory.

to pass on that semantic memory to the younger generations, pass on the culture. Even now in indigenous cultures, that's the role of the elders. They're respected. They're not seen as people who are past it and losing it. And I thought that was a very poignant thing that... Memory is doing what it's supposed to throughout these stages of life.

Yeah. And for the ecology of the system. So I looked into this and it's like another species that has menopause is orcas. Orca pods are led by the grandmothers, right? So not the young adults, not the parents or whatever, the grandmothers. And so they're the ones that pass on the traditions to the, I guess, the younger generation of orcas.

And if you look from what little I understand, different orca pods have different traditions. They hunt for different things. They have different play traditions. And that's a culture, right? And so in social animals... Evolution, I think, is designing brains that are really around, you know, it's obviously optimized for the individual, but also for kin.
