This experiment explains why people stop trying. > Why do people suddenly stop trying, even when success is right in front of them? A famous psychological concept called Learned Helplessness helps explain this. In one demonstration, a predator fish was placed in a tank with smaller fish separated by... a transparent barrier. Each time it tried to attack, it hit the invisible wall. After many failed attempts, the predator eventually stopped trying. Then the scientists removed the barrier. The smaller fish swam freely in front of the predator, but it never attacked again. Its brain had already learned that trying was useless, even though the obstacle was gone. > Humans can fall into the same mental trap. Repeated failures can teach the brain that effort leads nowhere, creating invisible barriers in our own minds. But the hopeful part is that the brain works both ways. The same ability that can train us to give up can also train us to persist. With new attempts, small victories, and repeated positive outcomes, the mind can relearn that effort leads to progress. The same mechanism that once held us back can become the force that pushes us forward.show more

The Invisible Glass Experiment Scientists once conducted a fascinating experiment with a pike and an aquarium. They placed a transparent glass barrier in the middle of the tank. On one side was a large, hungry pike. On the other side swam several small fish. As soon as the pike spotted the smaller fish, it launched itself forward to attack. Bang! It crashed headfirst into the invisible glass and was thrown backward. Undeterred, the pike tried again... and again. Each attempt ended the same way a painful collision. After repeated failures , its head became bruised and some of its scales were knocked loose. Eventually, the pike gave up. It retreated to a corner of the tank, clearly frightened and defeated. Then, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The small fish now swam freely around the entire aquarium some even passing right in front of the pike’s mouth. But the pike never attacked again. Even though it was starving, it refused to strike. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there. A few days later, the pike died of starvation surrounded by abundant food it could no longer bring itself to eat. This phenomenon is known as the Pike Effect (or Pike Syndrome). It serves as a powerful metaphor for how repeated failures and setbacks can create invisible mental barriers that limit us long after the real obstacles have disappeared.

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 drop fish out of planes. Well, sometimes. It’s a process called “fish stocking,” where US states breed fish with the purpose of releasing them into rivers and lakes to then be caught by fishers. And when those lakes are up in the mountains, it can take a plane or a helicopter to get the live fish to the water. But in many cases, these very lakes never had any fish in them to begin with. And adding these non-native fish can have ripple effects on the entire ecosystem.

Mullin: Keep in mind, the same time this was going on, Obama was saying that we need to have a peaceful transfer of power. This is the same group of people that was trying to lecture President Trump on a peaceful transfer of power while they were actually trying to go behind the American people and say even though you voted this way you got it wrong

David Sacks breaks down the true risk of AI David Sacks "It’s not that I think the AI is going to develop a mind of its own. I don’t think the technology is anywhere close to that. But I do think that it could be used by the government in a much more invasive and intrusive way, in the manner that the government was, the Deep State was already trying to get in bed with the social networks. There is a real risk that AI is used by future governments or the Deep State basically to surveil us, to censor us, and even potentially to brainwash us, because it is really good for that."

Jennings; The other night you said that the UK and other countries were dealing with each other to protect themselves from the US. Phillip: I know that you've been waiting to say this, but it is true. It is true that other countries are trying to create other blocks so that they can protect themselves from the capriciousness of this administration. So both things can be true at the same time.

Dr. William Li reveals the single probiotic that hacks your brain to release social hormones "I take a probiotic called lactobacillus reuteri. It lowers inflammation, builds immunity, and it's actually the bacteria that text messages the brain. It causes our brain to release social hormones like oxytocin, which makes us feel good." "The kind I take is chewable. It turns out that the same bacteria is good for the gut, but if you chew it up, this is the bacteria that kills the bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease." "I haven't had a cavity in well over a decade. This is one of these types of practical things that just knowing the science can change."

Never in history has a government that inflicted violence and oppression onto the people decided by its own mercy to stop. It was always through the pressure and mobilization of the people. That is us! Start to get engaged to stop the biggest atrocity of our generation. Now

"I don't know why whenever something happens on video the left acts like the rest of us don't have access to the internet and can watch it with our own eyes." "They sit there trying to gaslight us into believing a completely different series of events." "The ICE agents have every single right to do that in that situation." She is 100% correct.

Platner: The national pundits, the political establishment, they keep looking for that one story, that one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by. But in trying so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all. This is a movement about us.

The reason why so many people love El Salvador is because it brings us hope. Nayib Bukele found this country in pieces. After decades of corruption, criminality and scarcity, he rebuilt it… into a sovereign nation. He showed us that it is possible. We can do the same.

☝️“In one of the US laws that explicitly mentions Russia, the stated goal is to "democratize" the Russian Federation. Can you imagine us setting a goal in our own domestic legislation to "democratize" the United States? You know, that is at least impolite. But in principle, we could do it, and there are reasons for that. Everyone is well aware that twice in US history, a president has come to power who was elected by a majority of electors but had a minority of voters behind him. Is that democratic? No. Democracy is the power of the people, the power of the majority. How is it possible that a person is elected to the highest office in the state by a minority of voters? There is such a problem in the US Constitution. But we are not demanding that you change your Constitution, are we?” - President Putin.

#WATCH | US President Donald Trump says, "...Traditionally, India is right at the top of the pack pretty much. There are a couple of smaller countries that are actually more but India charges tremendous tariffs. I remember when Harley Davidson couldn't sell their motorbikes in India because of the fact that in India - the tax was so high, the tariff was so high, and Harley was forced to build... But I think they built a factory in India in order to avoid paying the tariffs. And that's what people can do with us. They can build a factory here, a plant or whatever it may be here and that includes the medical, that includes cars, that includes chips and semiconductors." (Source - US Network Pool via Reuters)

This guy right here. Whatever job he is interviewing for, I hope he gets it. He’s trying and that’s all that any of us can do. 💯 I’m going to give that man an A+ just on the fact that he put effort into this. So many people today just show up in whatever- shorts, tank top, t-shirt, etc. Do you remember the days when it was standard to get dressed up for a job interview, no matter the type of job? The days they wouldn’t even hire you if you weren’t dressed up?

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit some sort of wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. And the reason is he is potentially implicated in these files and he has to come to terms with that. He may have to answer some questions himself. The reality is the UK is doing far more. I think that the king can hold his head high when he comes here saying: I am doing the most that I can. While here in the United States, our president has yet to even do even remotely the same. And survivors and the people are very disappointed in that.
