How does brain development affect responsibility?
Is it theoretically sound to say that the paralysis experienced in response to trauma is not laziness but an inevitable outcome of the brain, which is inherently a prediction machine? If the brain's prediction mechanics cannot be adjusted, should the input (memory) be reframed so the brain can use "good data" for its predictions, thus causing motivation rather than paralysis?
Is there any more information about free will in relation to the brain?
