doh, sorry for typos in post above.

I believe the human brain is liek a muscle in the sense that good exercise/care will increase fitness/ability, though, there are limits and natural bias from the genes you have, it may give you a bonus or a loss, same as in other aspects of your body.
So, when many folk have bad upbringings, it cripples the mind, just like malnutrition can cripple the body.

Many folk I was at school with I KNOW have a lot more smarts than they show, they were often afraid to "stick their head above the parapet" and so, ruined their mental development and potential, IMHO.
