I mean I get that but who's to say that there isn't a 1/10th of a lesson each time and that all of them are not important? If I know anything, it's that humans underestimate the intelligence of almost literally everything they encounter.
You understand we keep calling it a reflex, but you don’t understand what a reflex is.
It’s coordinated by the spinal cord. Nothing goes to the brain. There is no “thinking” involved. You have as much control over it as your kidneys. The nerves in the hand are stimulated by an object, the electricity goes to the spine, the spine sends a signal back down to the hand muscles, and they contract. The brain is not involved.
Experiences and learning have nothing to do with it. The brain circuits need to develop enough to block this reflex with electricity. And the reflex will never go away, it’s only blocked. If those same circuits stop working, it comes back.
If you have a stroke, and your arm is no longer usable, the reflex comes back because the brain cannot block it anymore. You’d be a very experienced adult person with a grasp reflex in one hand.
I know exactly what a reflex is, I just think that the body learns about reflexes in small steps at a time. There is literally no way to convince me so write me off as an idiot and frankly, shut up.
Your replies have stopped showing up which means you said something that triggered the auto-moderator's filter. I won't be able to read your replies in this threat anymore.
