I have a wild ambulance IV #ketamine story that I feel like I have to share. I told it to my students in a class on the plasticity of #consciousness and they insisted it needs to be public knowledge. So, somewhat apprehensibly, here it is. Strap in 📜:

"Studying things from unrelated subjects is a lot like yoga for brain. You don’t actually get anywhere when you do yoga. You stand in one place and bend yourself in various shapes. But it makes you more flexible, so when you go out and do walk around,you can walk better."

Wow smh
This looks like Theranos level fraud. The last 16 years of Alzheimer’s research looks to have been built on deliberately falsified data.
It’s why Alzheimer’s drugs have a 99% failure rate in trials. The thing they’re trying to fix isn’t the problem.

The Persuasion Paradox: Argue less, persuade more.
The most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone of anything.
The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask thoughtful questions.
Persuasion is an art—it requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

Much scarier than the small number of evil people is the large number who will fall in line with whatever's fashionable. When kindness is in fashion, they're kind. When a form of bigotry becomes cool, they jump on board. When it's popular to condone violence, they're all for it.

It’s almost impossible to predict the future. But it’s also unnecessary, because *most people are living in the past*.
All you have to do is see the present before everyone else does.
