For almost 200 years, doctors have described the same pattern of behaviour we now call ADHD. Today, it's biology you can see on a brain scan — a practical explanation for how the brain works. Al Jazeera's Basel Ghazoghli breaks it down.

Ilya Sutskever explains why AI will do 100% the work that human can do within few years. "Slowly but surely, or maybe not so slowly, AI will keep getting better. The day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do, not just some of them, but all of them. Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. How do we know this, by the way? How can I be so sure? How can I be so sure of that? The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. That's why we have a brain; the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things: because we have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer." --- Full Video on 'University of Toronto' YT Channel (link in comment)

We don't outsource support. We don't see it as a cost center. Outstanding support is an asset, not a liability. A number of our support folks have been with us for over a decade! That's longer than most tech companies have even been in business! And the same team that works on Basecamp works on HEY. It's all the same A-team. We WANT you to contact us. We WANT to talk to you. Get in touch. You'll see the difference.

Canada healthcare is horrifying “Today on how f*cked is Canadian healthcare: I need an MRI to see if I have a f*cking brain tumor. Go ahead guess when it is? Go ahead, guess. It's in 2026” “My MRI to see if I have a brain tumor is in 2026. It's March 2025 right now” “If you thought this was bad, it's actually worse than you thought. Because the appointment where we decided that I need this MRI was in December of last year. So it's not like it's 10 months from now. It's 13 months. It's a 13 month wait to see if I have a brain tumor” “I just thought this was a mistake — But no, I called and the clinic was like, yeah, the doctor actually requested that you have it earlier, but this is the next spot we have. We're seeing about 13 months out” “Canada where healthcare is free, but only if you can afford to wait.”

Gabor Maté flipped the entire ADHD conversation on Joe Rogan: He says ADHD is real, but it’s not a genetic disease like we’ve been told. It’s a coping mechanism. When a young child experiences stress (especially from parents) and can’t fight or escape, their developing brain learns to tune out. That pattern gets wired in. Years later we call it a “disorder” and reach for pills. Maté’s take: The brain develops in relationship. Stressed, unavailable parents → stressed, distracted kids. Fix the environment and family dynamics, and the symptoms often improve dramatically. We’ve spent decades treating ADHD as purely biological when the environment and early relationships might be playing a much bigger role than most doctors admit. This one really made me think. I’ve seen kids (and adults) labeled with ADHD whose home life was chaotic. The idea that it could be a survival adaptation rather than just “broken wiring” feels like it explains a lot. Do you see ADHD more as a genetic brain disease, a coping mechanism from early stress, or somewhere in between?

"I flipped an ATV and we thought I had a concussion.. We went to get a CT scan and they found a mass in my brain.. They removed it and I was good for about two years.. I did a routine scan and the cancer came back and now it's time to fight" ~ Dylan Pratt #PMSLive

Scientists mapped a piece of brain the size of half a grain of rice. One-millionth the size of the human brain. It took them a year and over 1.4 million gigabytes to scan it. They found over 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, and even some new structures they didn't know existed. Mapping the entire human brain in this level of detail would require all the data storage generated on Earth in a year + a 140-acre data center. But the human brain itself can hold up to ~2.5 million gigabytes of information - enough for ~3 million hours of HD video or 342 years of continuous viewing. It can process roughly 10 quadrillion calculations per second - enough processing power to run over 4,000 high-end gaming PCs all operating at peak ability. And it only runs on the amount of power needed for a single dim light bulb. No technology even comes close to doing what the brain can do. The more we learn about biology, the more complex it becomes. This is God's Glory on display.

Asmongold says streaming literally gives you ADHD because it scrambles your brain "I don't think that I have ADHD, but what I do think is that streaming creates ADHD. Streaming gives you ADHD because you have to train your brain to recalibrate so many times so fast that it just creates a frenetic mental cycle." "It's hard for you to focus on one thing anymore. The moment that I am not immediately doing something, I instantaneously stop thinking about it and it no longer exists."

Drs have refered me for CT Head and Brain Scan after my appointment today..... We have noticed lately that there has become a ridge like step where my skull scar is ( this is where my skull was removed put in my stomach then put back in after the brain had healed) We don't think was there before so I have to have CT Scan to make sure all OK 🙏 Keeping you all posted on my recovery and my traumatic brain Injury journey....

this is the "brain of AI" Claude is made of billions of these artificial neurons. no one knows exactly how they work inside. that's why it's called a black box. you give it an input, it fires through billions of connections, something comes out the other side nobody fully understands why it works. but here's what we do know: the brain is the same for everyone what separates the top 1% isn't a better model it's the setup around it ClaudeKit gives Claude Code that setup.

ELON: NEURALINK - NOT A STETHOSCOPE ON A FACTORY WALL, BUT AN OBSERVER FROM WITHIN “The work in Neuralink will shed a lot of insight into how the brain and the mind work. The data we have regarding how the brain works is very limited. We’ve got fMRI. That’s like putting a stethoscope on the outside of a factory wall and moving it all over the wall. You can hear the sounds, but you don’t know what the machines are really doing. To really know what’s going on in the brain, you need high-precision sensors - and then you want stimulus and response. If you trigger a neuron, how do you feel? What do you see? How does it change your perception?” Source: Elon Musk, Lex Fridman Podcast, November 12, 2019
