We often mistake cynicism for intelligence. But the truth? Cynics tend to score lower on cognitive and academic tests.
The real sign of intelligence is openness—to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Want to think better? Stay open.

Your attention span isn’t fixed. It increases with practice.
Evidence: After 20min sessions solving cognitively challenging problems (10-20hrs total), students show significant gains in sustained focus and test scores.
Like physical stamina, mental stamina requires exercise.
Exactly :) The Jaguar Ad is facile and neutered, antiseptic and superficial. This old goat is the real deal :)
Just how 'daring' is Jaguar's imagery compared to this ad from 30 years ago?

This is basically how I'm performing the fast 16th note guitar part in the King Crimson song "Frame by Frame". I made a quick video while warming up for a gig one night so sorry for the bad audio. I perform this differently every night, enjoy!
I was using my Spark MINI Vai.

The Danish group @InnovisorInc has identified "6 change blockers" based on analysis of networks/influence/change with organisations in 70+ countries. The 6 blockers are:
1) Leadership cohesion - leadership teams are more siloed than any other kind of team
2) The fragmentation or even disconnection of internal teams
3) Misalignment between the senior team & the people in the organisation who are most influential
4) Disengagement & lack of commitment to the change from employees
5) Lack of leadership follow through
6) A project team that has not been set up for success

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
