The destruction of Earth is much like disassembling a car no one bothered to learn how to drive, and quickly selling off its parts to make a meagre profit. The biggest cognitive failure of human civilisation was seeing Earth as a collection of resources, raw materials and “parts” - when in fact, these elements were the blood, flesh and bones of a once fully functioning, living planet. #ecology #philosophy #economics #capitalism #anthropology

New paper in Creativity Research Journal finds creativity anxiety can hinder idea generation under pressure. People high in creative anxiety produced less original ideas, especially when prompted to be creative. doi.org/10.1080/10400419.202…

What the actual f*ck are you talking about?? If you want to learn about learning… maybe study models and theories of… you know… how humans actually learn? Talk to educators perhaps? Of course not, a cursory case study of n=3 mega billionaires is a far better approach 🤯
I’m obsessed with learning how to learn. So, I spent 100+ hours studying how Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Naval Ravikant absorb information. Here’s what I found on becoming a learning machine:

Yes, I’m asking a lot of questions about that survey you are putting together. But if you want quality data to work with, you need a quality survey. #SurveyResearch #OHPsych #IOPsych #iopsychmemes #psychology #psychologymemes #psychmemes #APpsych (rerun)

Our new paper shows "control-default" brain hubs play a key role in creative thinking by integrating diverse cognitive processes. These hubs connect regions serving very different functions, enabling the cognitive diversity important for creative thinking doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhad3…

Come on @MidlandMCR… why do I not get to eat properly because I’m gluten free? No pastry on arrival, virtually no choices for lunch… paid the same rate as everyone else but left hungry and with little choice
