ROI but with Attention - what are you getting out of where you choose to give your attention? See a lot of folks choosing distractions instead of anything of substance.

Attention - and where we direct it - is quite literally the most powerful thing we have

But what happens when we successfully stifle our impulse of attention? When the rider has taken all power away from the horse?

We become The Underground Man, of course.

I’ve come to realize two things:

1) a lot of these trailers/descriptions of things on Netflix read “Oh, you guys like trash? Here’s some more trash.”

2) there comes a time in everyone’s life where they start thinking more critically about concepts

[Zach Skraba @ZSkraba]

What is it we see in these concepts that appear to us as “not worth attention”? And why do we start placing more significance on it?

When one understands the power of attention, a natural response is to over-exert control. Of what we hear, what we see, of what we do.

@jesselitz @Ford I don’t enjoy your misery but that was an hilarious thread

@jesselitz @Ford Excellent hahahaha what a roller coaster

Your mind is the starting point of all war and all strategy. A mind that is easily overwhelmed by emotion, that is rooted in the past instead of the present, that cannot see the world with clarity and urgency, will create strategies that will always miss the mark.

But I need to know all the clothes and makeup women try on. AI could never replicate such creativity

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

UGC AI avatars.

They will be everywhere.

Billions of them.

The value of “real” Instagram, OF and TikTok influencers is trending to zero.

@Aella_Girl I just sighed in relief

[Zach Skraba @ZSkraba]

@Aella_Girl I think that’s impressively insightful. “The only way out is through,” as I’ve heard from @jordanbpeterson

@ThomasSowell Seems like a repurpose of St. Francis of Assisi Peace Prayer but I don’t think he’ll mind

A 2600 Year Old Brain Discovered.

—

In 2008, a group of archaeologists excavating a site in Heslington, a village in England, found a human skull lying face down. It was evident that it had been dḛcapitated, as the rest of the skeleton was missing.

Deprive the brain of oxygen and it diḛs within minutes. The brain is one of the first organs to decay after someone diḛs. However, this archaeological find has left many archaeologists and scientists scratching their heads.

To the amazement of the archaeologists, when they opened the skull, the brain was still perfectly preserved. Radiocarbon dating placed the age of the brain at around 2600 years.

The Heslington brain is the most well-preserved human brain ever recovered in an archaeological dig. There has been no explanation as to why the brain was found in such good shape, to the extent that some of the brain proteins were still active
enough to elicit immune reactions.

Studies are ongoing. There may be many more surprises firm this specimen.

Just as winter precedes spring, contraction precedes expansion.

Hey guys - I’m thinking about becoming a Russian troll bot and any RTs help. Below is my very first meme if you like it please RT and perhaps donate to my gofundme so that I can continue to bring such value full-time

[Zach Skraba @ZSkraba]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention--wink wink.

I would agree with the core assertion that attention is our most powerful and sought after asset, but I would contend the implication that we are somehow helpless victims in need of regulation.

Children, perhaps, but adults?
