      You're capable of being all of those things. Unfortunately, they 're not involuntary actions and you must develop the habitual thought patterns before you can acquire such attributes. Though I'm sure you're already quite amazing and you just don't realize it yet. Though I do suggest you avoid the practice of affirming as much to yourself in the mirror. That would just be sad. And hey, if all else fails, there's always crack.

    I used to imagine a "filtering" layer that allowed "filtered" blood to pass. But it is more a multi-dimensions boundary sorrounding the vasculary system deep inside the brain. And it makes perfect sensne. I guess my previous visualization did not made sense, where would the filtered (rejected) material go and how (a brain liver LOL). Thanks for the explanation, I learned something today.

Surely if u played dice one of those planets can eventually create complex life via natural selection by accidental mutation. Btw the natural selection ensures advantageous mutation keeps on staying, which causes the organism to become complex after many millions of years

    the tight junction thing1 creates a back pressure of brain fluid in addition to keeping bigger solids out. You lost me a little w/Transporter Proteins. I wonder if it would pay off to study thickness's since you implied capillaries are linked together in creating this junction.
    i suppose on some level dimensia louis - body etc are starvation of the brain rather than impurities2 through the boundary; which is ironic since excess glucose probably loosens these junctions.

      Not all kids tho. I always liked spicy stuff more than sweet things. But the 'brain needs lots of glucose' thing could explain why it's usually effective to give a fainting or dizzy person sugar or ORS solution. It dissolves on the tongue & gets sent directly to the brain & jerks it awake. Might also explain why milk has lots of glucose.

Urologist (not endocrinologist) who specialize in hormone therapy have accepted the anecdotal evidence for years but now their is a test.
