Lionel leads an extensive conversation about new research that identifies four distinct phases of the average adult brain, marked by turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, which suggests a non-linear progression of intelligence and neural structure. This is complemented by a segment challenging the tabula rasa or "blank slate" theory, offering evidence that the human brain is largely pre-wired with core functionality at birth, setting the stage for experience to follow. During the broadcast, listeners call in to share anecdotes related to retirement and the frustrations of aging and physical decline, prompting Lionel to relate the story of his own accidental start in radio. Additional topics raised by callers include the nature of inherited talent and the challenging work of rehabilitating inmates in a federal medical prison setting.
