The neocortex is sort of an extra brain and it's perfectly possible to live without it though on some rather basic level.
The neocortex likely evolved to preprocess and simplify sensory inputs, but it went much deeper over time, being able to provide simplest explanations for what happened.
The neocortex is prone to failure from the lack of heavy metals, especially lead, but certainly also mercury.
Those with a failed neocortex are restricted to a desperate state of not knowing, as it's simply not possible to learn empirically without it.
Often whole populations descend into such state of despair, trying to preserve past knowledge and prevent it from its inevitable decay into complete nonsense.

Are you saying I can eat a bunch of lead and mercury to kill my neocortex and return to blissful monkey state? I'm interested

The OP is a massive retard that chew lead.

No, the opposite. You need them to make your neocortex work. You aren't really even a monkey in some way without them. All mammals have one.

It seems that lead is needed for multiple processes, glial cells, glycolysis, dopamine etc. Mercury is needed by pyramidal neurons.

>lead and mercury poisoning is good for you!!
How much lead and mercury are you likely to find in food grown in a random unpolluted area? That's about how much lead and mercury you're supposed to consume. How much is that? Probably not as much as your mother breathed in while she was pregnant with you.

Cool. How much mercury is there in a berry or animal in an untouched section of the rain forest?

This is repeated ad nauseam thay they are not nutrients, not essential, no use in the body. While you can see them being absorbed and agrsssively accumulated, directed to specific tissues, specific cells, specific proteins. But somehow they are bot nutrienrs, they have no use, no explanation necessary, they just somehow don't we just know.

Provide evidence for their non essentiality. (you can add cadmium to the two)
Explain why human health and intellect dropped peecipitously after their removal, instead of the opposite as would be expected if they were toxic.

I agree with your statement that lead is an essential bot nutrient. Lead is a staple of the traditional ameribot diet and ameribots should consume more lead.

You know it's a typo. You know no answer. It's essentially an axiom or a dogma, with no empirical basis.
