Apple should be collectively owned by everyone 🙏 this alone would already solve so much ❤️

Marriage is an institution that was created back when people died young. It was built on land-ownership and procreation. These days its mainly used to subjugate women and sell air-fryers. - Dr. Paul Rhoades, Shrinking

This has a clinical name. Revenge bedtime procrastination. And the ADHD version runs on a completely different mechanism than the neurotypical one. A neurotypical person stays up late because they want more leisure time. The ADHD brain stays up because it spent every drop of dopamine it had on executive function during the day. Sitting in meetings, managing transitions, filtering impulses, remembering the thing you were supposed to remember. That burns through dopamine the way sprinting burns through glycogen. By 10pm the tank is empty. But here's where it gets counterintuitive. The exhaustion is physical. The dopamine deficit is neurological. Those are two separate systems. Your muscles want sleep. Your prefrontal cortex is starving for the stimulation it was denied all day because it spent 14 hours on task-switching and impulse control instead of anything that actually felt rewarding. The phone at midnight is the brain trying to collect what it's owed. Low-effort, high-stimulation content. Scrolling, short videos, rabbit holes. The exact profile of activity that delivers dopamine without requiring the executive function you already depleted. The sleep researchers call this a "self-regulation failure." It's closer to a debt collection. You borrowed against your own reward system to function all day. The bill comes due at midnight. And the brain will not let you sleep until it gets paid.

Am I the only one liking the old ICP NNS Dashboard much better than the new one? At first, I thought I needed to give it time in case it was just a matter of getting used to it, but I still find the voting more cumbersome, even difficult in the new one. What do you think?

Hoarding stems from the fear the enclosure movement planted in all of us — the deep dread that we, too, might one day be unable to sustain our standard of living after the next inflation.

Being neurodivergent is when everyone is watching you get bullied by someone who is hitting way below the belt, crushing your soul for no reason, and no one steps in. But the minute you defend yourself with something you think is unremarkable yet kinda snarky, the whole crowd turns on you like “Whoa! Too far! I can’t believe you just said that! That’s so mean!”

THE SOUL CONTRACT The souls sat around a round table to choose their next lesson to learn. A strong and brave soul stood up and said: “I will go to Earth to learn forgiveness.” The other souls replied with concern: “But that is one of the hardest lessons. “You will suffer… but we know you can do it.” “We will help you!” Another soul said: “I am ready to go with you to Earth to help you.” “I will be your husband, and in our family life there will be many problems because of me, so that you can learn to forgive me.” Another soul sighed: “I can be one of your parents. I will give you a difficult childhood, and later you will learn to forgive me.” Another said: “And I will be the love of your life. This will be a meeting that will never fully come to pass, because you will already have chosen another partner. We will face many obstacles and we will be hurt.” And a third soul said: “I will be one of your supervisors at work, and I will treat you badly and unfairly so that you can learn the meaning of forgiveness.” Another soul said again: “I will be your child and I will lose my way in shadows, so your soul may grow through pain and mercy.” Other souls agreed to meet with this soul at different moments in life, simply to learn the lesson. Each soul chose its lesson in order to learn and to create another bond to sustain it. They made a life plan and all descended to Earth. One mystery of the soul’s teaching is that ancient memories fade at birth. And only a few know that NOTHING IS BY CHANCE, AND THAT EVERY PERSON APPEARS IN OUR LIFE EXACTLY WHEN WE NEED THEM, in order to learn the lesson that was meant for us. ~ Adrianna Garay ✨🙌🏾💫 Artist © DeepDiverQ

Every parent who has ever screamed at their child over a spilled cup was not angry at the cup. They were six years old again. In 1985, Bessel van der Kolk published research that took 20 years to be accepted. Trauma does not live in the memory. It lives in the body. Your short fuse is not a character flaw. It is a nervous system still responding to a threat that ended in childhood. The anger at your six-year-old for spilling juice is not about the juice. It is your body reliving a moment when a small thing became a big thing without warning. Your nervous system learned that small disruptions are the opening act of something terrible. A regulated nervous system has a gap between what happens and how you respond. A dysregulated one has no gap at all. You are not reacting to your child. You are reacting as the child you were. And an entire economy is built on keeping you there. A dysregulated person is the perfect consumer. They impulse buy to fill the void. They drink to numb the guilt. They scroll to escape the shame. They buy the next program that treats the symptom and never touches the wiring. A regulated person cannot be sold to. That is why nobody taught you how to become one. The system doesn’t want you regulated. It wants you in the cycle. Trigger. Explosion. Guilt. Purchase. Repeat. Your children are watching this cycle right now. Their nervous systems are recording every second of it. The same way yours recorded your parents. The anger was never yours. It was inherited. And then an economy was built to make sure you never resolved it. You are the generation that decides whether it gets passed down or stops here. ~ Andre Gonsalves ✨🙌🏽💫

The amount of old people in 50 years time will be insane.

I stopped talking for 20 years after awakening. The world has now matured enough that I feel comfortable to start sharing again, in large part thanks to what is possible with the Internet Computer.

In 2016 Norway gave every 5-year-old child an iPad. Within a few years, Norway's reading scores plummeted and dropped below the OECD average. They ranked dead last out of 65 countries. Now Norway is spending millions of dollars to reverse this trend and get people reading.

Example, for #Sol to burn $1000 cycles equivalent it needs a million transactions and do U know the funny thing those 1M transactions will just be token transfers, Bot activities, simple swaps and not real computer works. But #ICP $1000 cycles burn equals $1000 real computer works

It no longer matters who sees tweets. Grok does, and that's what matters.

The amount of people who have started downloading content again is insane. Seems like the subscription services went too far with pricing.

This hits so hard 🤯

What if the whole spiel of Donut Labs was just to push battery manufacturers to release their innovations quicker? 🤔

When launching new product-generations, it's important to make them as ugly as possible at launch so people who really want them buy, but also upgrade as quickly when subsequent facelifts are lauchend. #PlannedObsolesence

Very few seem to grasp the pyramide-nature of how we currently organise society. ⟁ It was necessary as long as we depended on physical assembly, I get that. 🤝 But internet and cryptography enables us building the society we all want to see. 🔘 Check out more on @biodemocracy

The solution to nearly all problems on this planet are obvious. They're just not profitable.

The biggest challenge for Internet Computer is that it's associated with cryptocurrency.
