If You Want to Understand Life, Visit 3 Places

1. Hospital

Here you'll see rich men crying for one more breath.

Dreams, cars, and money mean nothing when your lungs fail.

Health isn't everything-but without it, everything is nothing.

2. Prison

Here you'll see how one stupid choice can steal decades.

A drunk drive. A violent reaction. A desperate shortcut.

They would give anything to go back 5 minutes but time never rewinds.

3. Cemetery

Here you'll see the final equalizer.

The powerful and the powerless, all under the same soil.

Only two things remain:

the memories you left behind, and the regrets you carried with you.

THE 6 MOST POWERFUL PSYCHOLOGICAL TRICKS YOUR BRAIN PLAYS ON YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY:

1. The Spotlight Effect:

Nobody is watching you as much as you think. Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves. You are not the main character in anyone else's story.

2. Negativity Bias:

Your brain is designed to remember one insult over ten compliments. It kept your ancestors alive. Today it just keeps you up at 3am replaying conversations.

3. The Sunk Cost Fallacy:

You stay in bad jobs, bad relationships and bad situations because of time already spent. The time is gone. Stop paying for it twice.

4. The Mere Exposure Effect:

You don't actually like what's familiar because it's good. You like it because it's familiar. Most of your preferences were never really your choice.

5. Cognitive Dissonance:

When your actions don't match your beliefs, your brain doesn't change your actions. It changes your beliefs. This is why people justify everything they do.

6. The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon:

You learn a new word and suddenly hear it everywhere. You buy a new car and see it on every street. Your brain didn't discover something new. It finally decided it was worth noticing. What you focus on expands. Always.

[GeniusThinking @GeniusGTX]

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.

A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.

11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵

1. Survivorship Bias:

[GeniusThinking @GeniusGTX]

To understand why modern society feels so broken, you need to look at the underlying laws that drive human behavior...

Once you understand these ideas, your worldview changes.

11 mental models/cognitive biases/rules that run the modern world...

1. The Zebra Effect

This explains why people are terrified to stand out. Biologists found they couldn't track a single zebra because the herd's stripes acted as visual noise.

When they marked one zebra with a red dot, the lions immediately isolated and killed it.

The modern urge to conform isn't cowardice; it's evolutionary biology at work.

-

2. The Tocqueville Paradox

As living standards rise, people become *less* satisfied, not more.

When social conditions improve, the remaining inequalities or irritants become more glaring and intolerable.

This explains why the most prosperous generation in human history is also the most outraged and resentful.

3. Gall's Law

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.

You cannot design a complex system from scratch (like a new economy or government program) and expect it to function.

It will fail. This is why modern technocratic "top-down" solutions almost always end in disaster.

-

4. Mimetic Desire

René Girard’s theory that we don’t truly know what we want. We only want things because *other people* want them.

We don't desire objects; we desire the status of the model who owns the object.

Social media has weaponized this, creating a global feedback loop of envy and "borrowed" desires that leads to infinite competition.

-

5. Chesterton’s Fence
If you see a fence in a field, don’t tear it down until you understand why it was put there.

Ancient traditions and social norms may look useless to the modern eye, but they are often holding back wolves you’ve never had to fight.

Dismantling "outdated" structures without understanding them is suicide.

-

6. The "Ruler’s Paradox" (Principal-Agent Problem)

The person in charge is rarely in charge.

An executive cannot implement ideas on the ground because the bureaucrats (middle management) have their own incentives and act as a filter.

Nicholas II realized this too late: “I never ruled Russia. 10,000 clerks ruled Russia.”

-

7. Parkinson’s Law

Work expands to fill the time available, and bureaucracy expands regardless of work.

When the British Navy decreased its ships from 68 to 20, the number of dockyard officials increased by 78%.

Institutions inevitably become bloated, slower, and worse over time as clerks manufacture work for other clerks.

-

8. Preference Falsification (New)

Timur Kuran’s concept that people lie about their private beliefs to fit the perceived public consensus.

This creates a "house of cards" society where a view seems dominant (because everyone is parroting it), but is actually fragile.

Once a few people speak the truth, the facade collapses instantly.

-

9. The Medici Effect

Innovation happens at the intersection of fields.

The Renaissance occurred because the Medicis funded sculptors, philosophers, and scientists to live and work in proximity.

Today, the internet is the ultimate Medici engine, allowing for a cross-pollination of ideas that traditional education tries to segregate.

-

10. The Centipede's Dilemma

If you ask a centipede which leg moves fastest, it will trip and forget how to walk.

Hyper-analysis destroys natural competence.

We are currently seeing a culture of endless self-reflection, therapy-speak, and navel-gazing that is ironically eroding our ability to function as resilient human beings.

-

11. Minimal Self Hypothesis

Narcissism is actually a "strategic retreat."

When the world feels random, dangerous, and overwhelming, people retreat into the only thing they can control: themselves.

The self becomes "minimal" to reduce surface area to pain.

This is why people are abandoning long-term commitments (marriage, career, community) to conserve energy for vague, upcoming disasters.

Why do humans get stuck in Trauma while wild animals recover naturally?

In the 1970s, Dr. Peter Levine noticed something remarkable:

Wild animals face death daily yet don’t develop PTSD, depression, or anxiety.

His discovery revolutionized how we understand trauma forever:🧵

They’re called Blue Zones, and they hold the secrets to longevity most of us never hear about.

VALIDATION is the most dangerous addiction in the world!

Everyone lives three lives.
A public life for the world’s eyes.
A private life for those we let in.
And a secret life we carry alone, the unfiltered truths, the hidden battles, the parts of us no one will ever fully know.

Blood pressure is the most mismanaged metabolic health parameter.

Millions stay on blood pressure meds they never needed, trapped in a lifetime of pills due to mismanagement.

Depression is one of the most misunderstood conditions I treat.

Open-Focus Training is the most overlooked protocol for stress relief.

It dissolves anxiety, reduces chronic pain, and unlocks flow states.

Even elite Navy SEALs or the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, praise it for keeping them sharp under pressure.

Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine on Earth.

It triggers your body to "eat up" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally a doctor within.

Your doctor's clueless about anxiety & depression.

Their "solution" is to pop pills with dangerous side effects, including suicide.

What they don't know is that 95% of serotonin is produced in your gut, not your brain.
