Summery:
Such as origami is a complicated form of folds, and is capable of being a masterpiece, by using one piece of paper, our brain is extraordinarily complicated, "By adulthood, the cerebral hemispheres enfold 2500 cm 3, which is 1.4 times the surface area of the front page of the Wall Street Journal." This being said, we can imagine how much information we can possibly jam in. Neuroscientists are beginning to think that they might be able to map out the brain like a topography map by studying the molecular behavior of it. By defining what a person should and can do, creates the 'what should or shouldn't be done' area a bit more hazy. This would mean that, like origami, the brain has a limited number of space to 'fold' and so will eventually not be able to store information.
questions:
1. Should scientists try decoding the human brain and cause the ideals of right and wrong to become "hazy"?
2. Do you think that the brain has a limit, or can it 'fold' indefinitely?
I like your second question of does the brain have a limit
