A brain that overrides its own determinations requires a matching non-determinist culture.

Evidence

If the brain is the biological organ determined to make supple its own biological determinations, if the brain is in some way a self-cultivating organ, which culture would correspond to it, which culture could no longer be a culture of biological determinism, could no longer be, in other words, a culture against nature? Which culture is the culture of neuronal liberation? Which world? Which society? — Catherine Malabou, What Should We Do with Our Brain?, 111
