The quotes and replies are DELUSIONAL with these “the bar is in hell” and “anong gagawin ni Tulfo dyan” takes, thinking that there’s any other reasonable, optimized, REALISTICALLY winnable tandem.

Tulfo *has* to be the VP candidate (at the very least) of the opposition. Sure, Bam can replace *Leni* if absolutely ayaw talaga ni Leni pagdating ng 2027, but we cannot do this without Tulfo. There’s just no other way around it. We need his massive appeal sa D-E voters and whatever chunk he can bring from VisMin. Almost subset lang ng base ni Leni ang respective bases nina Bam, Kiko, at Risa. Literally what’s not clicking?

Saka na ’yang “ideal” candidates AFTER reversing/restoring yung sala-salabit na pagkasira ng lipunan at sistema na idinulot ng mga Duterte. “Good governance” as a concept would be GOOD AS DEAD the moment Sara wins that presidential election. Tandaan niyo yan.

The research behind this is wild. If you played Pokémon as a kid, you have a tiny region in your brain that exists only because of Pokémon. Not a metaphor. Stanford put people in brain scanners and found it.

The study was published in Nature Human Behavior in 2019. They scanned 11 adults who grew up glued to their Game Boys and 11 who never played. When they showed both groups images of the original 151, the players' brains lit up in one specific spot every time. Same spot across all 11 people. The non-players showed zero response.

That spot is a little fold in the back of your brain that normally processes things like animal shapes and cartoon faces. In the Pokémon players, a chunk of it had been permanently reassigned. Their brains carved out a Pokémon department sometime around age 6 or 7 and just never took it down.

And the reason it ended up in the same place in everyone's brain comes down to the Game Boy itself. The screen was 2.6 inches. Every kid held it at roughly the same distance. So those 151 characters hit the exact same patch of each kid's retina, thousands of times, during the years when the brain is still soft enough to reorganize itself. Where an image hits your retina in childhood is what tells your brain where to build the wiring.

Reading works the same way. Humans invented writing about 5,000 years ago. There's zero evolutionary reason for a brain region dedicated to recognizing words. But every person who learns to read grows one, roughly the size of a dime, in the same part of the brain.

Brain-imaging research from 2018 actually watched it appear in children's heads as they learned their letters. It grew by quietly taking over nearby tissue that wasn't doing much yet. Stanford published a follow-up this year showing this region is way smaller or missing entirely in kids with dyslexia, and that 8 weeks of intense reading practice physically grew it back.

London taxi drivers show the same thing in a completely different part of the brain. Brain scans from a 2000 study found the region that stores mental maps had physically expanded, and the longer they'd been driving, the bigger it got. These drivers spend 3 to 4 years memorizing 25,000 streets before they get licensed. About half wash out.

The common thread is childhood. Harvard researchers trained young monkeys to recognize new shapes and they developed brand-new brain regions in predictable locations. Adult monkeys trained on the same shapes never got those structural changes. The young brain wires itself in a way the adult brain cannot replicate.

If you're wondering whether a Pokémon patch in your brain means you lost something else, no. The region sits alongside your normal visual processing areas, not on top of them. Your brain has hundreds of millions of neurons in that zone alone. The lead author noted that every participant in the study had gone on to earn a PhD.

Ang linaw. He was read his rights. He explicitly acknowledged that he understood them. The basis of the warrant and the charges against him were explained. He offered the correction that it should be "murders, dahil hindi lang isa yun."

All while his lawyer sat next to him.
