Yeah, for sure.
21:46

It's like the prefrontal cortex.
21:50
It's one of the things that kind of is pretty unique to humans.
21:53
It's our ability to plan, to organize, to think things through, to have impulse control, to think about like, what are the outcomes of this behavior in a year or five years?
