Pygmalion Effect/Online clock/How bicycle works

Dear all Todays new term for me atleast is Pygmalion effect. The Pygmalion effect is a phenomenon where high expectations can lead to better performance, while low expectations can lead to poorer performance. Photo by Ludovic Migneault on Unsplash It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, where what we believe about ourselves can affect our behavior and outcomes. Here are two examples that can help in explaining it. Imagine you have a teacher who believes you are really good at math. They give you extra challenging math problems to solve and praise you when you get the right answers. Because your teacher expects you to do well, you start to believe in yourself and put in extra effort to live up to their expectations. You start getting better and better at math because your teacher has high expectations for you. On the other hand, let's say you have a coach who thinks you are not very athletic. They don't give you much playing time during games and rarely offer you any feedback. Because your coach doesn't expect much from you, you start to believe that you aren't good at sports. You may not put in as much effort during practice or games, which could cause you to perform poorly. The low expectations of your coach have led to a negative outcome for you. In both of these examples, what other people expect of you can affect how you see yourself and how well you perform. So, it's important to have high expectations for yourself and to surround yourself with people who believe in you and encourage you to do your best.

Bill Ackman on success: "I've always had this view that success is not a straight line up. If you read the stories of successful people, almost every successful person has had to deal with some degree of hardship, whether that hardship is personal hardship, health-related hardship, or a business issue. I've always had the view that how successful you are is really a function of how you deal with failure. If you deal with failure well and you persist, you have a high probability of being successful." In order for you to beat someone in a debate, your opponent needs to realize they've lost. Therefore, it's easier to win an argument against a genius than an idiot. Two Write Ups I Enjoyed and Liked This is a genuinely brilliant (long) read explaining exactly how a bicycle works.

Grandfather Paradox/Jim Simons Trading Strategy The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear all Have you heard of the 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅? It's a thought experiment in time travel that goes like this... Imagine you travel back in time and 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 before he has children. This would mean you were never born, so how could you have gone back in time to kill him? AI generated photo of a Grandfather 😀 This paradox raises the question: can the past be changed through time travel, or is it fixed? If the past can be changed, then what happens to the present and future? Some solutions to the Grandfather Paradox involve the idea of 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙡 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨. If you went back in time and changed something, you would create a new timeline where that change occurred, while the original timeline would remain unchanged. Another solution is the idea of predestination - that 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙, and any attempt to change the past is futile. The Grandfather Paradox is a fascinating concept that raises many philosophical questions about the nature of time, causality, and free will. It also highlights the potential dangers of time travel - if changing the past is possible, then any action we take could have unintended and unpredictable consequences for the future. **One Video I Enjoyed** Jim Simons 7 Strategies to earning a 66% return per year across a 31 year time span. https://youtu.be/cm7kkHtZiJA **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** 5 dead-simple steps to build a daily writing habit (that you can actually stick to): https://twitter.com/dickiebush/status/1609198917312192512 21 coding lessons I learned https://twitter.com/BoringSaaSGuy/status/1575803756993658886 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked** Send self destructive notes. https://privnote.com/ Compare the size of your baby to stuff you know. https://babysizer.com/ Now let's play some time pass game without any registration http://entanglement.gopherwoodstudios.com/en-GB-index.html **Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** Don't believe what your eyes are telling you.

Buridan's ass/Cognitive Biases Explained/Wikipedia game The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear All, Imagine a hungry donkey placed equidistant from two identical bales of hay. The donkey is equally hungry and has an equal desire for both bales of hay, but cannot decide which one to eat first. As a result, the donkey stands still, unable to choose and eventually dies of hunger. Buridan's ass is a philosophical thought experiment that explores the concept of decision-making when faced with two equally desirable options. Buridan's ass The point of the story is to illustrate the dilemma of decision-making when presented with two equally desirable options, which can lead to indecision and inaction. This thought experiment is often used to emphasize the importance of having a clear set of priorities and values when making decisions, to avoid becoming paralyzed by indecision.For.For example, imagine you are trying to decide between two job offers that are equally appealing. Both jobs offer good pay, benefits, and opportunities for growth. However, one job is located closer to your family, while the other offers a more flexible schedule. If you are unable to prioritize your values and make a decision, you may end up stuck in a state of indecision, like Buridan's ass, and miss out on both opportunities. It's important to weigh the pros and cons, consider your values and priorities, and make a decision based on what matters most to you. **One Video I Enjoyed** 12 Cognitive Biases Explained - How to Think Better and More Logically Removing Bias Video Link **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** Jay Yang shared 7 simple tips to become a world class storyteller.

Epistemic humility/Standing of Folded Man/ The Burning Monk

Epistemic humility/Standing of Folded Man/ The Burning Monk The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear All, Today's uncommon topic is Epistemic humility. Epistemic humility is the recognition that we do not know everything and that our beliefs may be fallible. It involves an openness to new information and the willingness to revise our beliefs when confronted with evidence that challenges them. Source:http://archive.timesandseasons.org/2012/12/the-opposite-of-epistemic-humility/ Here are a few real-life examples to illustrate this concept: Medical diagnoses: Imagine you have been experiencing chronic headaches and visit a doctor who diagnoses you with a certain condition. If you are epistemically humble, you would understand that the diagnosis is not necessarily definitive and seek second opinions or further testing before accepting it as absolute truth. Political beliefs: Let's say you strongly believe in a particular political ideology, but then you read a well-researched article that presents evidence that challenges your beliefs. If you are epistemically humble, you would be willing to consider the new information and possibly revise your beliefs, rather than dismissing it outright. Scientific research: Scientific research is built on the concept of epistemic humility. Researchers conduct experiments to test their hypotheses, and if the data does not support their initial beliefs, they revise their theories and continue testing. This process of constant revision and openness to new information is what makes scientific progress possible. In all of these examples, epistemic humility involves recognizing the limits of our own knowledge and being open to the possibility that we may be wrong. It allows us to continue learning and growing throughout our lives. **One Video I Enjoyed** A man suffered from a form of ankylosing spondylitis so severe that his upper body folded onto his thighs.
