The experience of awe involves a lot of different parts of the brain. Extrapolating this, he's saying clinically depressed people are less human. From a certain point of view, this is not wrong.

Physician: I don't know. I pray that there is a change. One of the things I've been
thinking about is what puberty blockers do to children. This medication is called a
"gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist" and it comes in the form of monthly
injections or an implant. And because it simulates the activity of this hormone, it shuts
down the activity of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is this almond-sized
structure in your brain, it's one of the most vestigial structures we have, and it controls
all the other hormonal structures in your body—your sexual development, your
emotions, your fight-or-flight response, everything. But it shouldn't be described in
such cold physiological terms because your hypothalamus is not just a hormone
factory. It's this system that allows you to stand in awe of the beauty ofa sunset, or to
hear the sounds of orchestral music and to stop whatever you're doing and want to
listen. And I always think that if someone were to ask me, Where is it that you would
look for the divine spark in each individual? I would say that it would be somewhere
"beneath the inner chamber," which is the Greek derivation of the term hypothalamus.
To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human.

Thanks for pasting the text. I can't be bothered to critique it manually, so I asked chatgpt. Here is a curated reply:

Vestigial structure: The use of the term "vestigial" in reference to the hypothalamus is incorrect. A vestigial structure is something that has lost most or all of its original function through evolution. The hypothalamus is not vestigial; it is a crucial part of the brain involved in numerous essential functions.

Role of the hypothalamus: While it is true that the hypothalamus is involved in hormonal regulation, including sexual development, emotions, and the fight-or-flight response, the statement that it controls "everything" is an overstatement. The brain is a complex organ with many interrelated structures and systems.

Hypothalamus and aesthetic experience: The text implies that the hypothalamus is responsible for the experience of beauty and awe, such as appreciating a sunset or music. This is not accurate. The experience of beauty and awe is complex and involves various regions of the brain, including but not limited to the hypothalamus.

"Divine spark" and Greek derivation: Associating the hypothalamus with the "divine spark" is more poetic or metaphorical than scientific. Additionally, the etymology provided for the term hypothalamus ("beneath the inner chamber") appears to be incorrect. The term "hypothalamus" is derived from the Greek words "hypo" meaning under, and "thalamus" meaning chamber, referring to its position in the brain beneath the thalamus.

Shutting down what makes us human: This statement is a hyperbole and not scientifically grounded. While puberty blockers do have an effect on the hormonal system, they do not shut down the entire hypothalamus or eliminate human experiences such as emotions, aesthetic appreciation, etc.
