So all the predictions were correct, unfortunately.
Well, it was good for me because I like it when I'm correct in my predictions, but it's not good for the human world.
So humanity hinges on the ability of the hippocampus to produce new nerve cells.
That is the key to humanity.
If we reduce it to one function of the brain is that being human is that we are curious, that we can reflect, that we have what I call psychological resilience.
Because even if you're curious, but you fear going the new path, then it doesn't do any good.
Curiosity has to be...
like two sides of a coin.
On the one side you have curiosity, on the other side you have the psychological resilience.
And this coin with these two sides is based neurologically on the function of the production of new nerve cells.
So you need new nerve cells to be curious, to have resilience.
Actually, all drugs that are on the market that
against depression have one key feature.
They activate the production of new nerve cells in the hippocampus.
I'm not saying you have to take them, but this is their function.
So they are essentially antidepressants based on the function that they produce in the nerve cells in the hippocampus.
And being human, in my opinion, means that you are able to produce these cells because then you are curious
you are interested in the opinion of other people, you know, you can reflect on the opinion of other people.
There's another feature these cells represent, in my opinion, I outlaid it in my book, is that they confer something, what I call, not empathy, but the right word is rational compassion.
I think it's the right term, rational compassion.
