I took Psych 101 and literally the first thing they tell you is that nobody kills themselves in a storage unit. It just doesn’t happen.
Nobody kills themselves in a storage unit. Out of the thousands of people who have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge less than 1% jumped off the side without a good view. This is an important aspect of human psychology that the false flag devs need to consider.

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.

People stopped liking poetry because we got too good at teaching it. For thousands of years, poetry was central to education and people loved it because we were so bad at teaching it. Then came a group called the New Critics in the 1920s who figured out how to analyze poetry.
Dana Gioia is one of the world’s greatest living poets. He’s been writing for ~55 years, and this 3-hour interview is all about his approach to writing. Some lessons: 1. What is poetry? Here’s a definition: “Poetry is a way of remembering what it would impoverish us to forget.”

In France, students are given exams that are graded blind (not knowing which student took it) and exams graded by a teacher who knows who took the exam. The exams measure the same knowledge and abilities It turns out the boys are graded lower when the grader knows they are boys

No link you say?
For those at the back of the room - there's no link between grooming gangs, any particular race, religion or culture! To pretend that being called out for echoing Reform is somehow being attacked is a very shallow way of trying to avoid scrutiny. Apologies needed for this

Somebody (by one story) asked Neil Armstrong what he’d do with his last two minutes of oxygen if the lunar module’s engine wouldn’t light. He supposedly responded, “I’d try to fix the lunar module.” There’s a lesson in that.
Sometimes I think about how the evidence from the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck suggests the crew knew the ship was splitting in half, and some of those hard chargers climbed on the deck in freezing 25-60 foot waves and tried to use the crane winch to hold their ship together.

similarly in "The Sopranos," the classically trained psychoanalyst takes as her challenge uncovering the root (childhood) origins of her client's panic attacks; totally ignoring, oblivious of, as if in a parody of American feel-good ethos, the fact that an individual who make his

This might be the most fascinating thing you’ll read today. When Vincent van Gogh moved to Paris in 1886, he was suddenly exposed to Impressionism's colors, which radically changed his palette. So, to experiment cheaply with colour harmonies before trying on canvas, he used

Wes Anderson does that thing great artists can do where they suggest something greater than anything they themselves could ever describe.
There were some people who didn’t like the wolf scene. In particular one very important person. And he said, I don’t understand what this scene is doing in the movie. And I would always say to him, I’m not cutting it. That scene is why I’m making the movie.🦊
