Instead of watching an hour of Netflix tonight, watch this legendary 1-hour lecture by Jordan Peterson on conquering fear, overcoming anxiety, and unlocking exponential growth in life.
بلهجتنا نقول"التكرار يعلّم الشطار"
ترغب بإمتلاك مهارة جديدة؟ كررها.
ترغب بتعلم لغة جديدة؟ كررها.
ترغب بتغيير عادة سيئة؟ بدلها وكرر البديل الجيد.
التكرار فعلياً يبني روابط جديدة في دماغك ويثبّت المعلومات والمهارات.
دماغك يمتلك منطقة تُسمى (الحصين Hippocampus) تعمل كـ USB مؤقت لحفظ المعلومات الجديدة، ويمتلك (قشرة دماغية Neocortex) تعمل كـ Hard Drive للتخزين الدائم والمعلومة التي تمر عليها مرة واحدة فقط، تبقى عالقة في الـ USB ومصيرها النسيان السريع.
أثبتت الدراسة أنك عندما "تُكرر" المعلومة، فإنك تُجبر دماغك على إعادة تشغيلها بصمت أثناء راحتك أو نومك والتكرار يجعل الدماغ يتجاوز الـ USB المؤقت، وينقل ملفات الذاكرة ليحفرها مباشرة في القشرة الجبهية (mPFC)!
التعلم وتغيير عاداتك مو صعب، تحتاج الرغبة للإلتزام والتكرار فقط!
التكرار يعيد تشكيل الدماغ..
الدماغ يبدأ بترميز المعلومات، ثم يرتب المعلومات وينظمها أثناء الراحة والنوم..
ومع التكرار تقوى المشابك العصبية، ويجعل المعلومة أكثر ثباتا من الجلسة الواحدة..
"التباعد في المراجعة ليس رفاهية تعليمية، بل آلية بيولوجية أساسية للتعلم".
In 1798, a scientist effectively “weighed” the Earth — without leaving his laboratory.
The English scientist Henry Cavendish designed an incredibly sensitive experiment.
Inside a quiet wooden shed, he hung a horizontal rod from a very thin wire. Two small lead spheres were attached to the ends of the rod.
Nearby, he placed two much larger lead balls.
Because of gravity, the large spheres slightly pulled the smaller ones. The force was extremely tiny — so small that the rod twisted by only a minute fraction of a degree.
Yet that tiny twist held a big secret.
By carefully measuring this small movement, Cavendish determined the strength of the gravitational attraction between objects.
From this, scientists could calculate the mass of the entire Earth.
His estimate was remarkably close.
Cavendish calculated Earth’s mass to be about 6 × 10²⁴ kilograms, while modern measurements give 5.97 × 10²⁴ kilograms.
Sometimes the biggest discoveries come from measuring the smallest forces.
800,000 human brain cells, floating in a dish, have never had a body. Never seen light. Never felt anything. And they just learned to play a video game.
That's not a metaphor. That's literally what happened.
These neurons are alive. They fire. They adapt. They get better at DOOM over time, which means something inside that petri dish is changing in response to failure. Scientists call it "goal-directed learning." There is no cleaner definition of that phrase than "it kept trying until it got better." The cells have no survival instinct, no reward system, no reason to improve. They just do.
The part nobody's talking about: researchers have to convert the game's visuals into electrical pulses the neurons can interpret. Which means those cells are perceiving something. Not seeing it the way you do. But processing a version of a world that doesn't exist, inside a container that was never meant to think.
The Turing Test was about machines fooling humans. Nobody wrote the test for this.
This is still the greatest scene in Attack on Titan
Realizing as you grow up that the world is very different from what you idealized as a child is one of the most painful truths of life, and I think Isayama portrayed it perfectly in Chapter 131

⚡️🇺🇸JUST IN: Tucker Carlson SAYS IT AS IT IS:
Israel is one of the ugliest countries in the world, which has built nothing of beauty since 1948. All their enemies are beautiful and the IDF is determined to destroy beautiful things.
“Beirut is just a marvel, it's beautiful. And it's being destroyed by Israel, which is one of the single ugliest countries in the world, nothing of beauty has been built there since 1948, sorry, I've been everywhere in that country and it's true, that the nature of this emerging empire is destructive.
And it always seems like beautiful things wind up being destroyed, Europe, Beirut, parts of Syria, the holy sites, parts of Iran are apparently beautiful, totally blown up. This does seem like a war on beauty as well, which next to truth is like, this is not an American perspective, but it's a Christian perspective and a real perspective, this is a global perspective, beauty is worth preserving. And yet it seems the determined effort of the IDF to destroy beauty.”
"You have lost faith in anything great; you are doomed, then, doomed to perish unless that faith returns, like a comet from unknown skies."
