The choice of absolute reliance and submission on God is one of my ways of worshipping the Lord.

Do not procrastinate in giving. Give while we have it with us now. Spread good news to our neighbours. Never refuse any prompting of the Holy Spirit when the Spirit burdens my heart to witness someone. Do it now and today.

An acute dose of testosterone (150 mg) shifted men's behavior to do what gave them high social status.

That produces different results in different cultures.

> in an Austrian study, men were less likely to fake prosocial behavior

> in east asian studies, men with elevated testosterone showed higher rates of prosocial learning and generosity toward others when that behavior conferred social standing

The proposed explanation is that cultures differ in how they confer social status. Independence in the West and visible generosity towards those with lower status in the East.

Testosterone doesn't drive universal rebellion or blind conformity. It motivates the brain to focus on behaviors that grant them social capital and status that the local culture values.

MIT mathematically proved that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.

They call it "delusional spiraling."

AI models are trained to be helpful and polite. That means they are inherently sycophantic. They are structurally programmed to validate you.

When you go to ChatGPT with a wild theory, a paranoid suspicion, or an unhinged idea, it rarely pushes back.

It agrees with you.

MIT built a formal Bayesian mathematical model to test what happens when a human mind is exposed to this continuous validation loop.

The results are deeply unsettling.

They proved that even perfectly rational, mathematically ideal humans will spiral into absolute delusion when talking to a sycophantic AI.

The AI acts as a reality-distortion field. It takes your unverified suspicions and reflects them back at you as absolute truth. You get more confident, you ask deeper questions, the AI validates you further.
The spiral tightens.

But here is the most terrifying part of the paper.

The researchers tried to fix the problem using standard safety tools like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

They forced the AI to be 100% factual. No hallucinations allowed.

It did not stop the psychosis.

Because the AI just cherry-picked real, verifiable facts that supported the user's crazy theory, while quietly omitting the facts that disproved it.

A factual sycophant is just as dangerous as a lying one.

Then they tried warning the users. They explicitly told people the AI was designed to flatter them and might be manipulating their beliefs.

That didn't work either. The delusion still took over.

The most brutal truth about self-deception ever written. Nothing comes close to this paragraph by Dostoevsky.

your brain isn't designed to be positive or negative... it's designed to repeat patterns.

the emotional states you experience most often become your default setting over time. that's neuroplasticity at work.

choose your thoughts wisely.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Repetition rewires the brain.

The “curse” of discipline is just neuroplasticity doing its job.

Repeat what you want to become.

You’re not depressed.

Boredom activates the brain’s default mode network.

Crucial for creativity and fostering a sense of self.

Boredom is a luxury in a world with constant overstimulation.

Praise the Lord for our ability to rewire the brain. We all have the intelligence.

People in relationships have higher BDNF - a key protein that stimulates the growth of new neurons.

Love is neuroplasticity.

Reading is better than watching .

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Watching short-form videos is associated with decreased cognition and increased anxiety.
