You Aren’t Lazy. You Are Overstimulated.

A little brief:
Consider this, your eyeballs aren’t just tethered to your brain, they are considered actual brain tissue. Your retina made of the very same substance as your frontal lobe. Technically, when you look someone in the eyes, you are looking at the only visible part of a person’s brain. These organs are the highway for destructive stimuli.
For example, when mice are exposed to screens that resemble cell phones and TV, they perform significantly worse in cognitive tests: mazes, memory, and various forms of problem-solving. When they are less engaged in screens, they move through mazes with cold and natural efficiency. Distractions are ignored.
Practice dopamine fasting to boost work ethic
You are unwinding your instinct to juke your pleasure receptors. When you actively disengage from this loop, you are priming your brain to engage and get things done without feeling that tug of applications. The big idea here is cognitive awareness, also called metacognition. The highest performers are great at it.
Too many people are chained to repetitive, unproductive habits that are designed to keep them in a feedback loop. Focus on slowing down your mind. Do this by practicing meditation and having forced disconnect periods from technology. I have a two-hour window each day where no screens are allowed.
What Japanese Reverence for the Seasons Can Teach You About a Joyful Life

A little brief:
What is ‘mono no aware’?
Often referred to as mono no aware, the phrase encapsulates the bittersweet realization that nothing is made to last forever. How we seem to be growing older faster with every passing year and the fleeting nature of our most precious memories, this bittersweet balance and nostalgia for the past is what people treasure.
A strange sense of satisfaction in what makes the moment beautiful is that it is only temporary.
Mono no aware can be translated as a melancholic feeling, but most Japanese would profess that it’s not simply about being sad. With it, there is a strong sense of gratitude, appreciation for the moment, and a strange sense of satisfaction in what makes the moment beautiful is that it is only temporary. It’s melancholy, but it’s also joy. Impermanence is bittersweet, but it’s what makes life worthwhile.
We pay attention to the laughter in our house.
We remember the good food we ate.
We feel gratitude for the comfort of our bed, and the presence of good weather.
What happens when someone falls into a black hole?

A little brief:
What happens when someone falls into a black hole? If you are the unfortunate soul being gobbled up, things don't look too bad until they turn really bad. Unless, there is an outlet through a wormhole. And you are really lucky.
Things to know, In his general theory of relativity, Albert Einstein equated gravity with the curvature of space around a massive body. The effect is quite negligible for light masses but becomes important for massive stars and even more so for very compact massive objects such as neutron stars, whose gravity is 100,000 times stronger than at the sun's surface. Distortions of space caused by a larger mass (stars) will cause small moving masses (planets) to deviate from what Newtonian gravity predicts. Another remarkable consequence of Einstein's theory of gravity is the slowing down of clocks in strong gravitational fields: strong gravity bends space and slows down time.
" The turbulence and steady bombardment of matter swirling around the black hole caused my brother's spaceship to drift uncontrollably into the maelstrom. I had to try to rescue him. After all, this was a rotating black hole, and the theory predicted that instead of a crushing singularity at its center, there should be a wormhole connected to another point in the universe. A desperate maneuver to be sure. ”
"I felt an enormous push, as if the spaceship was being coughed up by a giant. I must have remained unconscious for quite a while. When I looked into a mirror, I could hardly believe what I saw; my hair had turned completely white, and my face was covered with wrinkles I didn't have moments (moments?) ago. I checked my location in the computer and realized that, somehow, I re-emerged 2,000 light-years away from Cygnus X-1. The only possible explanation was that I traveled through a wormhole, which somehow was kept open inside the black hole and was tossed out by a white hole at a faraway point in space."
Apart from the sequence of facts inside the black hole — where we know very little — the rest is what we should expect from watching someone fall into a black hole. Reality, for these cosmic maelstroms, is definitely stranger than fiction.

Done for this week!
