Everything about brain and education

Are you controlling your brain? Or being controlled by the brain? One of my students asked ‘why favorites change over time?’ I asked ‘what do you mean by the change?’ ‘do you mean like enjoying coffee which you didn’t when you were a child?’ The student goes ‘yes, something like that’.

Or your favorites just changed by itself?’ The student goes ‘it changed by itself.’ I asked the second student ‘Favorites changed without intention.
