TL;DR

This article explains how the brain's 'use it or lose it' principle can lead to a stagnant life by reinforcing passive habits and weakening the prefrontal cortex's decision-making power.

The brain is a dry, cold organ. It's like a business owner who calmly lays off employees who don't generate profit.

It discards what it doesn't use without emotion. This is the so-called "use it or lose it" principle.

If a neural circuit is judged to have no role, it immediately becomes a target for "pruning." It is ruthless.

In particular, the prefrontal cortex—the circuit for controlling emotions and making choices—will degenerate in no time if it isn't used.

If you indulge in the comfort of having someone else decide for you, the brain has the flexibility (for better or worse) to accept that as the "ideal environment."

When you make "not deciding" a habit, the brain reinforces that as the correct answer.

The circuit for living by chance grows thick, while the power to choose becomes thin and fragile.

Eventually, "deciding for yourself" becomes a chore, then a fear, and finally, an impossibility. Thus, life becomes fixed.
