One of the interesting phrase in The Psychology of Money is:
"Money has a little to do with how smart you are and a lot to do with how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people."
Repetition rewires.
This is 1mm³ of your brain. Every repeated behaviour, thought, or reaction strengthens specific connections in this network until they become your default.
Your brain doesn't care if the habit is good or bad. It just builds whatever you practise.
Let me explain what this means so that you understand better.
.
Sometimes tiny cells in our stomach get very stubborn and turn into bad guys called cancer. They grow way too fast and don't listen to the body's rules.
.
But you see, these smart scientists in Korea didn't want to fight them with big scary bombs and bazookas like old medicines do. Instead they sat the cells on a wooden bench and said "Look here you stubborn cells, why don't you just remember who you really are and be good again?
.
So they made a pretend computer twin of our belly cells. Just like a magic video game version. (something like that sha) so they played around in the game to find the three bossy switches that were making the cells stay stubborn.
.
.
Those three bossy switches have funny names. They are MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2.
Fantastic 3 lool
.
The scientists turned those three mean switches Off. Poof.
And just like that guess what? The stubborn cancer cells were like "Ohhh… I remember now!
.
Then they calmed down, grew up properly, and turned back into nice, normal belly helper cells. No more bad growing.
They then tried this in Mice, and the poor mice got better. The bad lumps got smaller because the cells stopped being the bullies they were.
It's like telling your barking Dog at home to shusss and calm down. And it actually calms down.
.
.
This isn't ready for humans yet, as it's still developing. But it's going to help out someday. And well, a lot of people are gonna be wayyyy happier.
.
.
.
Kudos to the scientists once again and I'm super happy about this development and the positive impact it's going to have on affected people 💪🏾💪🏾

I run every day for 30 minutes, if I miss a day I add 30 minutes to the next day.
This has truly been a game changer, tomorrow I’m supposed to run for 3 weeks.
What if we reimagined KL?
What if Telawi, Jalan Raja, Bukit Bintang, Brickfields and Chow Kit weren’t shortcuts for cars but shaded boulevards?
Where people walk, duduk lepak, kids run around and elders feel safe to stroll at night?
1. Nobody is coming to save you.
2. The older you grow the costlier it becomes to make mistakes.
3. Life will not wait for you to be fine or not. Time and everyone will move on.
4. Good friendships and family is priceless.
5. No matter how hard you work, you need a lot of luck.

'Superintelligent AI will, by default, cause human extinction.'
Eliezer Yudkowsky spent 20+ years researching AI alignment and reached this conclusion.
He bases his entire conclusion on two theories: Orthogonality and
Instrumental convergence.
Let me explain 🧵
Masa pregnantkan anak dulu, bila anak tak cukup pergerakan, my husband would call his name, and he’d kick.
Masa scan 5D, his hands were covering his face. Dr minta husband panggil my son. Then he magically pusing tunjuk muka dia.
Don’t underestimate father’s bond. 🥹🥹
“Saya tunggu cukup modal.”
Lepas 5 tahun, masih menunggu.
Kau tak perlu modal.
Kau perlu belajar gerakkan diri sendiri.
Itulah ciri usahawan:
- Cari jalan
- Kasi jadi
- Usaha buat
USAHA-wan.
Bukan TUNGGU-wan.
In Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson recorded the actors' voices in real outdoor settings like farms and forests instead of traditional studios. This unique approach added an authentic and natural quality to the film 🦊🎙️
