What is hedgehog's dilemma/Draw a perfect circle in a game/ Amazon's Bean Bag

Dear all

The hedgehog's dilemma 🦔, also known as the porcupine dilemma, serves as a metaphor illustrating the challenges of human intimacy. It envisions a scenario where a group of hedgehogs seeks warmth by huddling together in winter, but their sharp spines cause them to inadvertently hurt one another. Even though they all desire close relationships, their inherent prickliness can make this a challenging endeavor.

Arthur Schopenhauer originally conceived this metaphor to reflect the individual's place in society. It highlights the idea that, despite good intentions, human intimacy carries the risk of mutual harm, which leads to people approaching relationships cautiously and tentatively. 

It suggests that it is wise to be guarded with others out of fear of getting hurt or hurting others, which might, in turn, lead to self-imposed isolation.

Godwin's law/Dark Pluto/Cola War

Dear all Godwin's law is an adage that states that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches. In other words, if you argue with someone online long enough, they will eventually compare you to Hitler. Here are two examples of Godwin's law in action: Example 1: In a discussion about the merits of socialism, one person argues that socialism is a dangerous ideology that will lead to the rise of a totalitarian state. Another person responds by comparing the person to Hitler, saying that they are "just like Hitler" for wanting to implement socialism. Example 2: In a discussion about the current political climate, one person argues that the other side is "literally Hitler." This person is using the comparison to Hitler as a way to dismiss the other side's arguments and to make them seem like they are evil. It is important to note that Godwin's law is not meant to be taken seriously. It is simply a way of pointing out that comparisons to Hitler are often used as a way to derail an argument or to make someone seem like they are evil. Here are some tips for avoiding Godwin's law: Avoid making comparisons to Hitler unless they are truly warranted. If you are going to compare someone to Hitler, make sure that you have a good reason for doing so. Don't just use the comparison as a way to dismiss someone's arguments or to make them seem like they are evil. Be respectful of your opponents. Even if you disagree with someone, it is important to be respectful of their opinions. Don't resort to name-calling or insults. Focus on the issues. Don't get sidetracked by personal attacks or irrelevant comparisons. Stay focused on the issues at hand. **One Video I Enjoyed** How dark is it on Pluto. **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** How to make will.

Wolf or Politicians/ India's Financial Prudence/ Oldest Aerial Photo

Dear all

This time a bit controversial thought which haunted my mind.

I am reading a wonderful book on Wolf and it's nature. And came across this 👇

"The only good wolf is a dead one.”

-

From the book I am reading nowadays, 

"Of Wolves and Men" by Barry Lopez (Affiliate Links)

From the present scenario and replacing the word WOLF with POLI*ICIANS, is it equally applicable?

Choose an option from below 👇

(a) Yes.

(b) Option "a".

🔬A 2010 study by the Harvard Business School graded Mumbai Dabbawala's “Six Sigma”, which means they make fewer than 3.4 mistakes per million transactions.

On a similar note, Six Sigma do applies to politicians where MAY be 3 out of 1M are good 😊.

Exception are always there.

Life 🧬 still flows though. Harvard still conducts research on different topics and Dabbawalla's still delivering the meals with perfection.

So enjoy yours too.

Third Man Syndrome/Piano with a twist/History Moments

Dear all Third Man Syndrome is a rare psychological phenomenon that can occur when a person is in a life-threatening situation or extreme conditions, such as being lost in the wilderness, trapped in an earthquake, or stranded in a snowstorm. It is characterized by a sensation of having a presence or the feeling of a companion, even when the person is alone. The experience is described as feeling like there is someone or something else with you, even though there is no one around. The presence is often described as a helpful, comforting, or protective figure. Some people report feeling like they are being watched over or guided by this presence, while others simply feel less alone and more reassured. The term "Third Man Syndrome" was coined after a book by the same name was written by John Geiger in 2007, which describes the experiences of climbers who reported feeling a presence on a treacherous mountain climb. The exact cause of Third Man Syndrome is not fully understood, but it is thought to be a result of the brain's attempt to cope with extreme stress or trauma. The brain may create the sensation of a companion or presence as a way to help the person feel less isolated and more supported. Overall, while Third Man Syndrome can be a frightening experience, many people who have reported experiencing it have found it to be helpful in getting through challenging situations. **One Video I Enjoyed** The Artist Who Couldn't Draw. https://youtu.be/gXecy5Guwzo **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** Generate beautiful images using AI . https://twitter.com/itsPaulAi/status/1666809592570081286 What is predibetes and other questions. https://twitter.com/baxirahul/status/1379374504338718721 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked** Piano with a twist.. https://www.burpandfartpiano.com/ Universe and its vast ranges. https://scaleofuniverse.com/en-gb Pass your time by showing fake updating of your desktop. https://fakeupdate.net **Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** "There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you."-J.K.

What is Soloman's Paradox/ Iron Dome Upgrade/ Book 1984

 Dear all

Imagine that your friend comes to you for advice about their relationship. They are unsure whether to break up with their partner. You give them some wise advice, such as to consider the pros and cons of breaking up, to communicate their feelings to their partner, and to make a decision based on what is best for them.

Source: Source: https://unsplash.com/photos/jo21H-4lYFU

A few weeks later, you find yourself in a similar situation. You are unsure whether to break up with your own partner. However, instead of following the same wise advice that you gave to your friend, you find yourself making excuses for your partner's behavior and overlooking red flags.

In psychology this is know as Soloman's Paradox. 

Solomon's Paradox is a psychological phenomenon in which people tend to be wiser when solving other people's problems than their own. This is named after King Solomon, who was known for his wisdom in giving advice to others, but who made some poor decisions in his own life.

How to overcome it?

-Take a step back and look at the situation from an outside perspective.

-Get advice from others.

-Consider long term consequences.

Diderot Effect/16th second speech/7 Graphs for challenging your intuition/

Dear all The Diderot Effect is a phenomenon in which the acquisition of a new possession can lead to a chain reaction of buying more and more things. This is because the new item can make one feel like one needs other things to go with it or to keep up with it. Photo by Vadim Sherbakov on Unsplash Here are two examples of the Diderot Effect in real life: A person buys a new car. They then feel the need to buy new clothes to match the car, new accessories for the car, and maybe even a new house to park the car in. A person buys a new piece of furniture. They then feel the need to buy new rugs, curtains, and other accessories to match the furniture. The Diderot Effect can be a powerful force, and it can be difficult to resist. However, there are a few things you can do to avoid it. Be mindful of your spending. When you are considering buying a new possession, take some time to think about whether you really need it. Do you already have something that can serve the same purpose? Can you borrow or rent the item instead of buying it? Set a budget for yourself. Decide how much money you are willing to spend on new possessions each month. Stick to your budget, even if you see something you really want. Buy used items. There are many great deals to be found on used items. You can often find gently used furniture, appliances, and other possessions for a fraction of the cost of new items. Make a list of what you really need. When you are shopping, take a list of the things you actually need. This will help you resist the temptation to buy things you don't really need. The Diderot Effect is a powerful force, but it is possible to resist it. By following these tips, you can avoid overspending and keep your possessions in check. **One Video I Enjoyed** Valedictorian Shares Important Life Lesson | Kyle Martin Speech | Goalcast In this epic valedictorian speech, Kyle Martin gets struck by the wisdom of the 16th second. https://youtu.be/vJNh_A-LlvA **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** 7 Graphs That Will Challenge Your Intuition. https://twitter.com/Codie_Sanchez/status/1658828225328435203 7 Must Known Japanese Concepts That Will Improve Your Life. https://twitter.com/PsycheWizard/status/1664507229649928192 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked** Timepass fun typing https://www.btjak.es/doogie/ Timepass online game. https://egghunt.msi.com/ Text art.

Theory of Psychological Hedonism/German pilot Franz Stigler's goodness/ Health Secrets

Dear all

Apple iPhone 15 was recently thrown to the market and people arround India line up from 4am get the new gadget. 

Even though the iPhone prices are way to high compared to the phones made by other good brands but still people rush to buy it. Why?

People buy things that make them feel good, that makes them stand out of the equals without any logical thinking. 

Humans act to avoid pain or to gain pleasure out of the material world and things.

This example can explain the Theory of Psychological Hedonism. 

As per the definition by Britannica, psychological hedonism, in philosophical psychology, is the view that all human action is ultimately motivated by desires for pleasure and the avoidance of pain.

But what hurts the most is that people buy these pleasure on loans which later on get transformed into a pain. 

We have a single life and to enjoy this pleasures and adventure is equally important. But in my perspective getting these at the mercy of obtaining pain at later stage of life is not worthy. 

So, it's up to us only what we need and what we desire.
