   "Brains" only enable that which is 'contain-   
   ed within' them. They 'cannot' do that which   
   corresponds to experience that has not   
   driven the neural-activation dynamics   
   that would've, otherwise, occurred 'within'   
   them.   
      
   Experience matters [use "matters" as a   
   verb.]   
      
   The "take-home lesson" is, actively pursu-   
   ing experience is worth the energy that's   
   expended in such pursuit -- be-cause do-   
   ing so literally enables 'the' "brain" to enable   
   its host organism to do more -- to even en-   
   able 'the' "brain" to understand-understand-   
   ing.
