Why vulnerability is important for personal growth
The various paths for evolution
Premise : When humans started agriculture, different species of plants adapted in various ways to make use of agriculture.
1. More than usual produce :
Some plants, like wheat started producing bigger seeds than usual so that humans would select them.
2. Losing the protection :
Seeds like almond which in wild could be poisonous and bitter, turned sweet and edible so that humans can harvest them.
3. A step in the opposite :
In the wild, pods are designed to burst open after ripening, to disperse easily. However, the ones that didn't burst, were chosen by humans as food and cultivated.

Anna Karenina principles
Premise : In the book "Anna Karenina" it is stated that 'Happy families are all alike;every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
J. Diamond uses this analogy to suggest why some species were domesticated and others not.
1. Elephants were seemingly rejected because of the gestation period. It becomes difficult to ramp up breeding such a species.
2. Zebras are not easy to be roped or tamed, along with their nasty attacking habits. Thus though they are close to donkeys and horses, they aren't domesticated.
3. Gazzele and antelopes due to their panicking nature and irregular social structure.

The intelligent symptoms of disease
The two important factors that lead a disease to become a epidemic, is
- Massive infection rates
- Considerable life cycle to cause infection
How does this reflect in the symptoms.
1. Involuntary spread : Symptoms like sneezing and diarrhea, cause the patient to spread the germs into nearby humans.
2. No manifestation : Diseases like AIDS don't manifest long time after the infection, allowing the infection to spread undetected.
3. Behaviour change : Rabies causes dogs to bite, like many other diseases that transmit from animals to humans.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
