Absolutely true. But in mine and perhaps others' case, not a bad thing at all. See, I've had years of religious indoctrination and because of my way of thinking, I internalised tha…

I was a kid who learned enough music to be barely good enough to do music at church... Now a few decades later I'm learning the drums using Rock Band [0] (and similar, I have almos…

Yes! I've been slowly getting into his work on the various executive functions, not just the intellectual/thinking one... emotional regulation is a big thing too!

Not GP, but I've commented on a few of your comments so far, so will keep going. I still haven't repaired a few things in my life that still cause me significant stress (happy to g…
