The US outperforms everyone in education when you control for race. US Asians beat all Asian countries, US Whites beat all White countries (and even beat Korea!), etc. Before you try to solve a problem, first confirm it exists.

75% of 8th graders in America aren’t proficient in math & the average student in China is 4 years ahead of the average U.S. student. It’s time to get serious about fixing K-12 education.

The real answer is that it’s a space-filling curve, which is the natural consequence of any surface of dimension n growing within a topological space of higher dimension.
This, specifically, occurs because a 2-manifold (the cortex or cabbage sheaves) begins to grow within a 2-sphere (empty “ball”, either skull or outer cabbage sheaf).
The growing manifold then folds in order to efficiently fill the space.
Interestingly, if you measure the fractal dimension of a space-filling curve, the “foldiness” of the manifold approaches the dimension of the higher dimensional “ball”.
So in either the cabbage or the brain, a 2-dimensional manifold grows “into” a structure of fractal dimension that in humans both approached 3 and induced a selection pressure wrt skull size, which was itself eventually upper-bounded by female hip width hitting a functional limit.
With all this context on board, the symmetry appears perfectly natural, and one can generalize the idea to the dynamics of any organic growth within the constraints described above.
Without it, the symmetry appears supernaturally mysterious.
Many things are like this.

Why does my cabbage resemble the way the human brain folds (gyrification)? Is my cabbage conscious?

I used to be really turned off by men doing fem stuff, it was SO unattractive - but after spending time in communities with different norms, it started to be a turnon.
Imo the core thing is 'signaling confidence', but what counts as a confidence signal changes across culture

Posting this because many women are signaling otherwise: He is an excellent dancer and seems like a wonderful partner but ngl this is a huge turnoff. It is much the same as women cutting their hair short. "Flex" for the hotties, yes, but only because it really does have a cost.
