@elonmusk I just dropped in to decide whether or not I want to persevere with X, and this is at the top of my feed.
Goodbye.

@ParanormalJunk2 How strange- I haven’t seen this used on book covers before

We’re enjoying a short hiatus from our podcast,
but in the interim check out this interview on emotional intelligence
with Georgetown professor and author Dr Patrick Kilcarr.

@farnamstreet Exactly!
Most of the cognitive biases that impede good decision making
are activated quickly and subconsciously when we’re making fast decisions.

@markmanson Love this from @markmanson

I wonder what caused our society to devalue character.
My greatest hero, my late father, exemplified integrity, humility and courage.
That generation is almost gone now…

@ted_ryce Great post Ted!

[Ken Smith @4KenSmith]

@ParanormalJunk2 Or by Google Translate perhaps?

@D11Carmen @GaryFallon2 I don’t believe that’s where it began - and there’s no evidence to suggest First Nations’ societies were free from violence or abuse.
But agree there’s certainly evidence pointing to that kind of abuse in the early European colonisation of Australia.

Clever!

@BigOtrivia Wonderful skill and great to watch- and unlucky not to be picked,
but always complained about not getting a fair go.
I haven’t walked a mile in his shoes, but it felt like it was always about himself.

@VeritySangan I can’t lie, it’s pretty lame!

#Teachers- I need your input!
How important is it to encourage curiosity in your students and how do you foster it in your classrooms? And what stifles children's natural curiosity?
(Your input will inform an upcoming episode of our podcast!)

Simple but sound advice

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

A good rule of thumb: if a decision is not permanent, it’s better to move too fast. If a decision is permanent, it’s better to move too slow.

@ted_ryce Took it up at 40 - with my body type I should have started years earlier. Convinced myself my knees wouldn’t cope - I was wrong.
