Did you ever had a song that got stuck in your mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about.You're not alone in this musical maze! An earworm, also known as a stuck song syndrome, is a catchy or memorable piece of music or saying that continuously occupies a person's mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about. Here's the scoop: our brains are absolute fans of patterns. And guess what? Music often follows repetitive structures, creating the perfect playground for our brains. When you catch a catchy tune,your brain's 'Default Network' springs into action. It's the same network that daydreams, and it has a knack for filling in gaps, replaying that hook endlessly.Earworms are a harmless phenomenon, but they can be annoying and disruptive. **One Video I Enjoyed**One glimpse into the genius mind of Steve Jobs. **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked**Sahil Bloom is a great storyteller.

Liars Dividend/ Visualise Your Calendar/Cute Tigers
Dear allRavisutanjani, the man who made waves on social media with a cardless cash withdrawal from India's inaugural UPI-ATM at the recent Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai. Studied Computer Engineering from IIIT Allahabad, attended PGP in business management and marketing at MDI Gurgaon and many more qualifications. Even PM of Bharat Shri Narendra Modi shared his tweet. But what we all don't know is that his degrees and qualifications are all FAKE. The online world stormed after a series of Twitter post by @SatarkAadmi disclosed his reality. This incident gives the idea of today's topic. The "liar's dividend" is a term that describes the benefits that liars or those who spread false information can gain, particularly in the age of social media where news and information spread rapidly. The term was coined by the American philosopher and cognitive scientist Donald Davidson. The liar's dividend can be seen in many different contexts. For example, a politician who makes false promises may be able to win an election, even if they are eventually exposed as a liar. A businessperson who makes false claims about their products or services may be able to increase sales, even if they are eventually caught. And a student who cheats on an exam may be able to get a good grade, even if they are eventually caught. By the way he is back again. **One Video I Enjoyed**This time it's something cute π₯° Source: https://twitter.com/fasc1nate/status/1703890169974145440 **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked**10 thoughts on incentives. https://twitter.com/george__mack/status/1702978711601971372 7 Stoic lessons from Marcus Aurelius. https://twitter.com/RyanHoliday/status/1703514188080087119 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked**Visualise your calendar π️.

How I learned About Concorde Fallacy/ India's Largest Station / zzzuckerberg
Dear all,In 2017, I first started buying stocks πΉfrom the stock market. After going through recommendations, advertisements, and suggestions, I bought some shares of a penny stock πͺ that I believed to be a winner, or to be more precise, a multibagger. However, the stock price started to decline π. After some time, I bought some more shares of the same company and tried to average down. I waited again, but the share price declined further. Being an optimist, I again bought some shares of that penny stock. And again, the price declined further. Now, I stopped ✋ investing any further and also did not sold the shares. Hoping that some day it will give positive returns and I will be able to recover its value.
Ultimately, the investment became a loss-making one. This term came from the British and French governments' decision to continue funding the development of the Concorde supersonic passenger jet, even after it became clear that the project was not economically viable. Here are some tips for avoiding the sunk cost fallacy: π΅️ Set clear investment goals and objectives. ✍️ Regularly review your investments and make adjustments as needed. π«‘Be willing to admit when you have made a mistake. π±Don't be afraid to cut your losses. The sunk cost fallacy is a common cognitive π€―bias that can lead to poor decision-making. By understanding this fallacy and being aware of its triggers, you can avoid making costly mistakes in your investments. **One Video π₯ I Enjoyed**Still remembers the old day when I used to avail the Platform No. 9 for catching the train to New Delhi from this station.

[Lines i Liked⏩] Almost all medical professionals have seen what we call "futile care" being performed on people. That's when doctors bring the cutting edge of technology to bear on a grievously ill person near the end of life. The patient will get cut open, perforated with tubes, hooked up to machines, and assaulted with drugs. All of this occurs in the Intensive Care Unit at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day. What it buys is misery we would not inflict on a terrorist. - [Source] **Two Write Ups I Enjoyed and Liked**Currently, most of our life is spent online on Web 2 and Web 3.

Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity/How to Draw/Rechargable Keychain
Dear all,
Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity is his idea that a lack of understanding or knowledge about important things can cause serious problems. He believed this lack of understanding could take different forms:
1. **Ignorance:** This is when someone simply doesn't know something. For example, if someone says vaccines are harmful without any evidence, they show ignorance about how vaccines work.
2. **Willful Ignorance:** This is when someone deliberately chooses not to learn or ignores new ideas. For instance, if someone refuses to listen to experts who explain the importance of wearing masks during a pandemic, that's willful ignorance.
3. **Self-Deception:** This happens when people trick themselves into believing something false. An example is someone who eats unhealthy food all the time but says they're leading a healthy lifestyle.
4. **Mass Stupidity:** This occurs when a group of people collectively believes or acts foolishly. If a group spreads false information online and many people believe it without checking, that's mass stupidity.
Bonhoeffer warned that these forms of stupidity are dangerous. They can lead to bad decisions, hurtful actions, and even harm to society. He said stupidity makes it hard for people to see the truth and do what's right. Examples of stupidity in action include denying climate change despite scientific evidence, supporting leaders who abuse power, and using hate speech against others.
Bonhoeffer's theory reminds us to be informed, open-minded, and thoughtful to avoid falling into the trap of stupidity.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked**
Not choosing is the worst thing you can do because now you’re compromising everything.
“If we use busy as an excuse for not doing something what we are really, really saying is that it’s not a priority. Simply put: You don’t find the time to do something; you make the time to do things."
A beautiful short poem by Wendell Barry
Our Real Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
