Dear all Imagine you are at the grocery store and you see a bottle of juice that says "low sugar." You might automatically assume that this juice is healthy, even if you don't know anything else about it. This is because the word "low sugar" has a positive connotation, and we tend to associate positive things with health. In reality, the juice might still be high in calories or contain other unhealthy ingredients. But because of the health halo effect, you might be more likely to choose it over a different juice that doesn't have the "low sugar" label. The health halo effect can be a powerful thing. It can lead us to make choices that are not actually healthy for us. So it's important to be aware of this bias and to think critically about the foods and products that we choose. Here are some tips for avoiding the health halo effect: -Read food labels carefully and look at the nutritional information. -Don't be fooled by health claims on packaging. -Be skeptical of foods that are labeled as "healthy" or "natural." -Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian if you have questions about healthy eating. By following these tips, you can make sure that you are making informed choices about your health. **One Video I Enjoyed**The Hitchhiker's Thumb. I too have the same.

Hedonic Treadmill/Say sorry before it's late/ German Instrument of Surrender
Dear allThe Hedonic Treadmill is a concept that describes how humans tend to adapt to changes in their lives, especially those related to their level of happiness or well-being. It suggests that even after experiencing positive or negative events, people tend to return to their baseline level of happiness over time.
Imagine you buy a brand new smartphone that you've been wanting for a long time. At first, you feel really happy and excited about it. The phone has all the latest features, and you enjoy using it every day. However, as time goes by, you start to get used to having the phone. The initial excitement wears off, and it becomes a normal part of your life. Eventually, you might start desiring another new and improved phone because the current one no longer brings you the same level of happiness. This example illustrates the hedonic treadmill. It shows how we often adapt to positive changes and become accustomed to them, which diminishes their impact on our overall happiness. The concept suggests that we constantly strive for more to maintain or increase our level of happiness, but these gains are often temporary, and we end up back at our baseline level. In simple terms, the hedonic treadmill tells us that we tend to return to our usual level of happiness even after experiencing positive or negative events, and we often seek new things to keep us happy because we adapt to the things we already have. **One Video I Enjoyed**Gaur Gopal Das shares a very personal, touching story to inspire us to say sorry before it is too **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked**11 Reading tips I learned from @RyanHoliday's course "Read To Lead": by @alex 7 habits that are damn hard to do, but pay off forever by Colby Kultgen **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked**Museum of Illusion :The Best illusion of the Year Contest is a celebration of the ingenuity and creativity of the world's premier illusion research community.

Moravec's Paradox/Pose Ideas for Better Pics/Best Comic Books Website/Hottest Chips
Moravec's Paradox refers to the surprising fact that tasks that are easy for humans, such as recognizing faces or walking, are often very challenging for computers, while tasks that are difficult for humans, such as complex mathematical calculations, can be relatively easy for computers. Here's a real-life analogy to help understand the paradox: Imagine you and a robot are given two tasks to complete. The first task is to climb a tree and pick some fruits. The second task is to solve a complex math problem.
For you, as a human, climbing a tree and picking fruits might be relatively easy. You have a natural ability to judge the branches, coordinate your movements, and grab the fruits. On the other hand, solving the complex math problem might be more challenging. It requires logical reasoning, understanding of mathematical concepts, and careful calculations. For the robot, however, the opposite is true. Climbing a tree and picking fruits is incredibly difficult. The robot lacks the human-like senses, flexibility, and motor control needed to navigate the branches and grab the fruits. However, when it comes to solving the complex math problem, the robot excels. It can process data quickly, perform calculations accurately, and follow logical steps without any difficulty. This analogy demonstrates Moravec's Paradox: tasks that are instinctual and easy for humans (like climbing a tree) are difficult for robots, while tasks that require advanced intellectual abilities (like solving complex math problems) are often easier for robots. The paradox highlights the difference between the strengths of human and artificial intelligence. Humans have evolved to excel in skills that are vital for survival in the physical world, such as perception, motor control, and social interaction. On the other hand, computers and robots are designed to excel in tasks that involve processing information and performing calculations with great speed and accuracy. **One Video I Enjoyed**Pose Ideas One Can Try. **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked**10 Most Important Skills for the next 10 Years https://twitter.com/_alexbrogan/status/1589984893077016580 7 Habits that are damn hard to do, but pay off forever. https://twitter.com/thecolbykultgen/status/1581973449308004352 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked**Premier site to read and download Golden and Silver Age comic books.

Epistemic Luck/ ChatGPT Prompts/ Some Easy Finance Tips
Dear all, Epistemic luck is a term used in philosophy to describe situations where our beliefs or knowledge are based on luck rather than reliable evidence or good reasoning. It basically means that sometimes we can think we know something, but we only believe it by chance, without having good reasons to back it up. Imagine you're taking a multiple-choice test and you don't know the correct answer to a question. You randomly guess and happen to get it right. Even though you got the answer correct, your belief that you knew the answer was based on luck rather than actually knowing the material. You just got lucky with your guess. Epistemic luck can also occur in everyday situations. For example, let's say you're trying to find your car keys. You look in all the usual places and can't find them, so you randomly decide to check your coat pocket and there they are. You found your keys, but it was purely by chance rather than any careful searching. In this case, your belief that your keys were in your coat pocket was based on luck, not any reliable evidence. Epistemic luck shows us that sometimes we might think we know something, but it's important to be aware that our beliefs can be unreliable if they are based on chance or luck. To have true knowledge, it's better to rely on solid evidence, good reasoning, and careful thinking. **One Video I Enjoyed**The Komodo dragon is the largest lizard species alive today.

Bat and Ball Problem/ Excercise for Losing Weight/Human History in 1000 pages.
The Bat and Ball Problem is a classic riddle that challenges your ability to think carefully and not jump to quick conclusions. Here's the problem: You have a bat and a ball. Together, they cost $1.10. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? Now, the mistake many people make is to quickly assume that the ball costs $0.10. However, that would make the bat cost $1.10, not $1.00 more than the ball. To solve the problem correctly, you need to do a little math. Let's call the cost of the ball 'x' dollars. Since the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, its cost would be 'x + $1.00'. Now, if we add the cost of the ball and the bat together, it should equal $1.10. So we can write the equation: x + (x + $1.00) = $1.10 Now, we can simplify this equation: 2x + $1.00 = $1.10 Subtract $1.00 from both sides: 2x = $0.10 Divide both sides by 2: x = $0.05 So, the correct answer is that the ball costs $0.05. The bat, being $1.00 more expensive, would then cost $1.05. The Bat and Ball Problem teaches us the importance of careful reasoning and not jumping to conclusions based on initial assumptions. **One Video I Enjoyed**This time something entertaining.
