Perdi 3 eleições. Nas 3 eu voltei para casa, chorei e me preparei para ganhar a próxima. Um dia eu ganhei. Todas as vezes que eu perdi, eu respeitei quem ganhou. E telefonei para o vitorioso para cumprimentar a vitória. Até hoje o presidente sainte não reconheceu a derrota.

La dificultad para empezar tareas en el TDAH no es por flojera ni por falta de fuerza de voluntad, sino porque el cerebro tiene un problema real con la dopamina, una sustancia química que ayuda a activar la motivación y a pasar de la idea a la acción. Por eso muchas personas con TDAH se quedan bloqueadas aunque quieran hacer las cosas, especialmente si la tarea es aburrida, grande o no tiene un plazo cercano. Estrategias muy concretas como comprometerse solo a cinco minutos, crear rutinas predecibles o trabajar con compañía o música suelen funcionar mejor porque se adaptan a cómo funciona realmente el cerebro con TDAH.

Werner Herzog on psychoanalysis: “If you harshly light every last corner of a house, the house will be uninhabitable. It’s like that with your soul.” Only Herzog could make a metaphor about darkness sound this profound.

La derecha brasileña aún no se ha recompuesto del golpe que supone la huida de Flávio Bolsonaro a Estados Unidos. A prácticamente todos sus aliados, incluso a su círculo más cercano, les pilló de sorpresa En las últimas horas la mayoría opta por no tratar del tema, intentando ignorar el elefante en la sala: el que estaba llamado a ser líder de la oposición se ha fugado y les ha dejado tirados a ellos y a más de 60 millones de votantes tinyurl.com/39ut5p7d

Ten million people have watched a TED speaker accidentally destroy the entire brain training app industry. She filmed the talk once at TEDxVancouver and it has been on YouTube ever since. Lumosity charges $12 a month to simulate a diluted version of what she covered in 14 minutes for free. Her name is Dr. Lara Boyd. She is a neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia and the researcher who runs the Brain Behaviour Lab studying how practice physically rebuilds the brain after stroke. For over a decade she has repeated the same answer to the only question that matters: how do you actually change a brain? Her entire framework fits on a napkin. Every experience physically changes your brain. Chemical changes last hours, structural changes last years, functional changes rewire whole networks. The only driver that works is behavior. Nothing beats practice. The harder the struggle, the bigger the rewiring. No two brains need the same dose. That last rule alone has probably cost the brain training app industry a hundred million dollars in canceled subscriptions. "The brain you have at the end of this sentence is not the brain you had at the start." That is a paraphrase Boyd returns to across the talk. London taxi drivers have measurably larger spatial memory regions. Braille readers have larger sensory maps for the reading hand. Founders install a $15 meditation app and skip the one difficult conversation that would actually rewire their defaults. Parents hand their kid an educational tablet and never let the kid struggle with a problem long enough for the structure to lay down. The talk is free on YouTube. Boyd's lab publishes its research open-access. Boyd still teaches at UBC. Almost none of the ten million viewers have added one hour of struggle to their week since watching. The science is free. The willingness to actually practice the hard thing instead of the easy app is the entire edge.

🚨 #ALERTA | Desde Estados Unidos, Flávio Bolsonaro se autoproclama ganador de las presidenciales: "Me dirijo a ustedes como el verdadero presidente electo de Brasil".

I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. That’s how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.

Psychopaths do not break eye contact like normal people because they have no fear. That horrifying expression towards the end of the clip was not a mistake. It is very difficult for normal people to wrap their heads around this because they apply what they perceive they themselves might feel in that person's place. This is folly because the psychopath's motivations are nothing like yours. Having less fear than an actual predator (lion, tiger, bear) changes EVERYTHING. How effective the psychopath is ultimately depends on their IQ. That "uncanny" feeling you get when you see her face change is in you because you are looking at a subspecies.

Están locos, sólo en combustible (yet A-1), ese gulfstream G-IV de la @FACh_Chile usa 520 galones hora vuelo ( U$8 el galon ), 14 horas de vuelo ida y vuelta, U$58.000 dolares, más todos los gastos operativos de ese avión, hora pilotos, seguros, bases de dato, uso pistas, etc..
