y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them

okay people are doing nuance in the notes about the kernels of truth in neuroscience myths but I really really need you to understand that that is not important here. people don't believe there are "right-brained" and "left-brained" people because they've misunderstood lateralisation of the central nervous system, they believe it because that binary framework was deliberately pushed by people who wanted to define who was logical enough to lead, and surprise surprise, white adult heterosexual men are left-brained. people don't believe the brain "finishes developing at 25" because they've misunderstood life stage differences in neuroplasticity, they believe it because the idea that children, teens, and young adults have inferior brains is a convenient rationalisation for a society that marginalises them. people don't believe you "only use 10% of your brain" because they misread an fMRI study, they believe it because it's useful bullshit for everyone from hyperindividualist historical revisionists pushing the great genius concept of scientific progress to hucksters recruiting for cults that will teach you to unlock your latent telekinesis for just $5000 a month. that's why it's fucking important to know that many popular science ideas are false and to push back on them loudly and frequently, because they're not just mildly incorrect, they are often active components of systems of violence.

The horseshit of “your brain’s just not fully developed yet” was weaponized against me so frequently growing up because I dared to have a different perspective than my elders, absolutely absurd

There's something quite charming about relatively small objects that are way heavier than they look. ooohh you're one dense little freak aren't you

my favorite thing right now is how mad the official french language people are that parts of african languages are getting mixed into french

a huge percentage of the world's french speakers are in africa, and language evolves, so there's a lot of african phrases and speech patterns being incoorperated into french. the french language academy is losing their shit because european french people pick up african french from social media and are ruining the fancy shmancy purity of the language. it's hilarious

the best part of this post is the french people responding with rants about how much they fucking loath l'académie française
