- Capturing the Ether
There are all different types of artists and I think that some people like to hold onto things and they get very perfectionistic. But perfectionism is kind of a synonym for destruction. It can really be a deterrent for one's evolution.

- Men Going Their own way
I absolutely support all MGTOW. Why? This will deter them from breeding and passing their misogyny on to future generations of people. Their closed state of minds, their pitiful attitude, their sense of entitlement and their hate for modern women will not be passed on.

- An Effortless Way to Improve Your Memory
It is now well accepted that once memories are initially encoded, they pass through a period of consolidation that cements them in long-term storage. This was once thought to happen primarily during sleep, with heightened communication between the hippocampus - where memories are first formed - and the cortex, a process that may build and strengthen the new neural connections that are necessary for later recall.

- You can't have your cake and eat it too
Brians argues that "You can't eat your cake and have it too" is a more logical variant than "You can't have your cake and eat it too," because the verb-order of "eat-have" makes more sense: once you've eaten your cake, you don't have it anymore.

- Conspiracy Theorists Have a Fundamental Cognitive Problem, Say Scientists
Fortunately, other scientists have found a way to block the pervasiveness of illusory pattern perception: critical thinking. In a previous interview, North Carolina State University psychology professor Anne McLaughlin told Inverse that critical thinking is something that can be taught, and if people are trained in the right way, pseudoscience and false conspiracies can be combated with logic and reasoning. The brain may try to make false connections, but that doesn't mean you have to believe it.

For input to be effective for second-language acquisition, it must be comprehensible. Merely being immersed in a second-language environment is no guarantee of receiving comprehensible input.

He climbed into his bed and wondered if she would come to him tonight. He heard her door close and he rolled onto his side toward the door. Lightning randomly flashed across outside his window and lit the gap beneath the door as he watched for her footsteps. He kept thinking they might be coming as the shadows played tricks on his heavy eyelids.

- The Boogaloo Tipping Point
At first glance, armed right-wing militants dressed in floral shirts may seem like another baffling grotesquerie in the parade of calamities that is 2020. However, their arrival can be explained by tracing their online origins. Similar to other right-leaning extremist movements, they are the product of an unhappy generation of men who compare their lot in life with that of men in previous decades and see their prospects diminishing.
