Hacking psychological concepts for practical applications in daily life

Easy one:

Breakfast: “Les Deux Magots” on Pl. Saint-Germain des Prés. Spiritual experience when you consider the exceptional food with the years of great thinkers who have sat at the same tables.

Ice Cream: “Berthillon” on l'Île Saint-Louis. The chocolate is incomprehensively good… although have been slightly disappointed by portion size recently!

Enjoy!

@elonmusk This doesn’t just help them… It supports the mental health of the carers, frequently guilt-ridden children trying to balance bringing up their own children a full-time job and caring for their parents… thank you SO much!

@45johnmac @grok is this true or just clickbait?

The programmer… some will call it ‘God’, some ‘an advanced civilisation’, either way the likelihood we randomly turned into what we are seems stastically negligible! A simulation with the laws of physics as our boundaries created by a superior entity, a God, the God… a programmer… does not mean we are not ‘real’… we have consciousness, we ‘are’ real…

One of the truest paragraphs ever written

ELON: THE ILLUSION OF REALITY

“What is consciousness?

When you put the atoms in a particular shape, why are they able to form thoughts and take actions, and have feelings?

Why does this illusion exist?”

@MarioNawfal @grok is this true? Is there any validity to this argument?

@StephenM To be 'fair'... Teslas are everywhere in Europe, demonstrating that Europeans buy good cars. We understand what you are trying to say, but maybe pick another example... this one is not making your point.

@elonmusk What happened to being a Humanist? If AI no longer serves humanity… why create it?

@LamarMK @Tesla Love the wrap!

Birthday parties (your child is the core focus of attention - or not if someone else’s) is an important part of socialising your child. Teaching your child how to act in a socially constructive manner… making them the kind of person ‘you’ would want to be friends with, is your primary purpose as a parent… so maybe throw the kid a party 🎉 🙌 🥰

wow... Grok image generation kinda' came out of nowhere! 1) Grok, 2) ChatGPT, 3) MidJourney... which one do you prefer?

Prompt: A long, two-lane road stretching through a dramatic desert landscape, with tall sandstone buttes and mesas on either side. The sky is filled with layered, softly lit clouds in shades of amber, dusty orange, and dusky pink. The sun is low, casting gentle golden light across the landscape, but the color palette is slightly more vibrant. The road has a subtle reflective sheen, leading the viewer’s eye toward distant rock formations. Smooth gradients of color on the horizon, and the foreground rocks have warm hues. The overall scene should feel tranquil, cinematic.

@chamath Consumption tax can’t be the answer… 1) lower income families ‘consume’ proportionally more of their income on necessities. 2) middle to upper income will purchase in another country where tax is lower…

Research shows that trust and honesty are essential for healthy relationships, forming the foundation for emotional security and mutual respect. In a video where a wife appears to pretend to vote a certain way to please her husband, it highlights how even small deceptions can signal a deeper issue. Deception can erode the bond of trust, leading to distance and resentment over time. Let’s value open, authentic communication—it’s essential for relationships to thrive.

@elonmusk Study done in 2017-18… back then, you were a self-professed Democrat… times have changed… I’m sure the mindset of many professors have changed too… just like yours did!
