Ignorance of brain plasticity is a matter of consciousness, not information or popularization.

Evidence

But why? Why do they not know it? Why do we persist in our belief that the brain is purely and simply a ”machine,” a program without promise? Why are we ignorant of our own plasticity? It is not because of a lack of information; exoteric books on the subject of brain plasticity abound. It is not because of a problem with popularization; we can talk in a very simple way about this plasticity, and that is precisely what this book is going to do. It is not a question of acquaintance but a question, once again, of consciousness. What must we be conscious of (and not merely acquainted with) concerning brain plasticity? What is the nature of its meaning? — Catherine Malabou, What Should We Do with Our Brain?, 49
