According to Psychology Today, “Confirmation bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. When people would like a certain idea/concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking.”

People often worry that AI will become too much like humans. But psychologists say the more interesting question is what AI might reveal about the way our own minds work—from how memory shifts over time to why we hold onto certainty even when we’re wrong. https://t.co/Ujn6Z1SUxD

Thank goodness for UH Optometry for their work in disclosing my problems with retinopathy. The VA took it from there. The Houston VA is staffed largely with docs from Baylor Med. While I’m sure there are some areas of concern, I’ve been largely satisfied with their services.

FYI: Caffeine interacts with brain chemistry.But interestingly, it doesn’t directly act as a “hormone booster.” It works more by blocking something than by stimulating something. Caffeine’s primary action: It blocks adenosine receptors.

Excuse the typos. Retinopathy makes it hard to read what I post. 😖

Research finds that, aside from being satisfying, more frequent female orgasms deliver both genetic and psychological benefits for a couple. https://t.co/Wkptjjbw3A

Milky Way is traveling through space at 600 kilometers per second, oscillating slightly, as if it were flapping its wings through the cosmos.

Reverse thrust isn’t just air being blown the other way—it’s a built-in safety brake for the skies. The moment an aircraft touches down, those engines redirect power forward, helping the plane decelerate rapidly while working hand-in-hand with the wheel brakes. It’s especially valuable on wet or icy runways where stopping distance matters most. And in the rare case of a rejected takeoff, reverse thrust can be the difference between a close call and a safe stop.

Yes, some jets can creep backward using reverse thrust, but it’s almost never done—loose debris getting sucked into the engines makes it a risky move few pilots are willing to take.
