Started this book for a book club ^-^

I thought this book was gonna be about cell renewal and a bit of the philosophy of what makes us us even though our matter isn’t constant. It’s actually more about prosthetics which is cool, but less interesting to me. It was interesting to learn about skin grafts in the first chapter - especially xenografts

Tea ass book - ofc I recommend

Very interested what this book will tell me about the neurology behind ideologies. So far it’s giving the two are inextricably linked. I’m curious if people’s susceptibility to new ideas is correlated with their abilities to form new synapses.
