Easy Or Destiny? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov17_Post.mp4 A very common idea is short term pleasure vs. long term pleasure. This idea pops up all over the place. In stories, in movies, and unfortunately, in modern life. A great (and tragic) example is the idea of YOLO. Or, “you only live once.” This is […]
Mental Brain Illusions
What You See Isn’t Real There are a lot of cool optical illusions. They are, of course, based on mismatch between what you see, and what you think you are seeing. Our eyes and our visual cortex need to make a lot of assumptions about what we think we see, and up to […]
Rearview Brain Strategy
System At The Track A long time ago, long before the internet became popular, I bought this system that would allegedly teach you how to make easy money at the track. The sales letter, an old school, actual letter you’d get in the mail, made this sound like a fantastic system that would allow […]
Air Fryers And Slavery
Frying The Air I’ve been seeing a lot of air fryers being advertised lately. I didn’t know what an air fryer was, exactly, so I did some research.
