Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the idea here or else we wouldn't be talking about it is that that activation and that increase in volume in the an mid singulate cortex would then be applicable to other endeavors for instance academics or some aspect of your professional life or relationship life

what it means is that if we acknowledge that the anterior mid singulate cortex and the volume of an mid singulate cortex is related to one's ability to generate tenacity and will power for any number of different Endeavors well then having access to a tool or a protocol that can increase the size of one's anterior mid singulate cortex is going to be extremely valuable
