The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
523. Why We Dream, Learn, and Adapt Faster Than Any Other Species | Dr. David Eagleman

I think it wouldn't. It wouldn't directly be mediating the trying because I think what would happen is you would try it, but you wouldn't have the plasticity that says, hey, something useful happened here. So let's make changes to the motor cortex over here. You just wouldn't have that. And so the system would stop trying that.

I have a suspicion that it's not, as Nietzsche said, that each one is coming with a personality or something. But my suspicion is that each one is reaching out to other spots, like visual cortex, like your limbic system, like your frontal cortex. When a network is dominant, it's sort of pulling information and sort of constructing a personality.

Yeah, that's right. Right. In terms of deciding what to say next, for example, you know, it's looking at the, you know, at your whole speech system, Wernicke's and Broca's and all these errors and saying, am I going to say something cruel or kind or whatever? But it's still using those basic mechanisms. It's taking advantage of the machinery that's there.
