“Everyone is connected, but no one is in control. In other words, the world we live in is open, fast — and thus, almost by definition, unstable.”

Technology has advanced considerably over the last few decades, but instead of stopping and thinking about how to keep ourselves safe, we have continued to expand. Zakaria describes this as humans having built the fastest sports car ever imaginable. However, we are driving it into the unknown with no seatbelts on. We haven’t equipped any airbags, and we haven’t purchased any insurance. Driving this sports car makes us feel innovative, modern, and powerful, but we experience crashes along the way. These crashes are getting worse with time.

Lesson 1 - Buckle Up

Despite these crashes, we still haven’t stopped to consider the safety precautions we need. Instead, we pull the vehicle over, tune up the suspension, and fix the engine. We continue to make our cars faster and faster, and yet we put ourselves in more profound danger. Zakaria believes the pandemic is an example of a massive crash. He quotes Larry Brilliant’s idea that “Outbreaks are inevitable but pandemics are optional.” We can’t stop the crashes, but we can control their impact. We should not continue our unsustainable expansion after the pandemic.

America believed it was too powerful to collapse financially and politically, but the pandemic has proven us all wrong. Many people have started to associate COVID-19 with political polarization and economic dysfunction. Businesses are in turmoil and there are major debates on both sides about the best way to handle the situation. America may remain the most powerful nation for military personnel, but this means nothing if America’s lives are in danger.

Lesson 2 - Improve the Quality of Government

America is becoming more inward-looking and obsessed with being patriotic. It is missing the opportunity to influence world politics and stand at the forefront of innovation. Most of the world has regarded America as a beacon of knowledge for many years, but America now needs to learn from the rest of the world. It needs to improve the quality of its government and incorporate political stability. This allows it to protect its citizens and their quality of life.

Zakaria accepts that markets with appropriate regulations ensure a relatively level playing field. However, the market performing well does not mean society is performing well. Currently, science, technology, and education in America lack crucial funding. Therefore, Zakaria suggests America needs to take a leaf out of the Nordic countries’ economic policies. This is the only way America can continue to compete with worldwide technological and economic development.

Lesson 3 - Markets Do Not Dictate Happiness

America should continue to accept the importance of markets and understand that some fields need more support. This does not mean we should adopt a carbon copy of Denmark’s economic policies. Instead, America needs to adopt some of these foundations and apply them to America’s reality.

The pandemic and recent American elections have highlighted that people are starting to trust experts less. Part of the problem is that experts have become an elite group who develop power and authority based on their knowledge. Certain countries have pushed back against this elitism, including America and Brazil. This has led to governments built on celebrations of ignorance rather than knowledge. These governments form policies based on populism rather than facts.

Lesson 4 - Experts and People Need to Develop Mutual Respect

America and Brazil’s COVID-19 responses show that rejecting experts’ opinions does not produce good results. However, the responsibility also lies with the experts. Experts must learn to connect with people and avoid an elitist bubble. The most destructive thinking is believing that your success makes you superior in your society. After all, in democracies, at least, the wishes of the population are the ultimate source of authority.

The pandemic pushed us closer to our technology. It has encouraged people to consider the possibility of us becoming completely dependent on computers and artificial intelligence. However, Zakaria argues that we are already practically at this point. A phone in our pocket has greater access to information than any person could possess, and can solve complex tasks in nanoseconds. Many of our systems depend on technology.

Lesson 5 - The Digital World Is Here to Stay

Despite this, Zakaria doesn’t believe we are at a stage where we mistake our technology for our friends. Instead, technology has the potential to make us value our human companions even more. The pandemic has highlighted that humans are more than problem solvers. Humans are brave, loyal, generous, faithful, and loving. At the moment, technology is none of these things.

“The movement to digital is fast and broad and real. But perhaps one of its deepest consequences will be to make us cherish the things in us that are most humans.”

Aristotle described humans as social animals. As humans, we built cities to socialize and help each other. Whether economic, social, or political, almost every significant movement in history began in cities. This was where the individuals responsible could organize and gather to become a force for change. Even though our cities have reached a standstill due to lockdown, the human hard-wiring to socialize will always remain.

Lesson 6 - We Are Social Animals

The lockdown has brought out many people’s tendencies to participate in more significant things than themselves. It has pulled together communities and inspired socialization and cooperation among neighbors. We have seen enormous acts of generosity, kindness, and empathy. We need this connectivity to remain after the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted inequality within our society, and it has decreased it in some areas. The most obvious way inequality has narrowed is between the healthy and the ill. Many people who were used to being healthy all the time have crossed the divide and experienced severe illness. Subsequently, many people have changed their views of individuals who are often ill. This has helped form a better understanding of illness and increased empathy in society as a whole.

Lesson 7 - Inequality Will Get Worse

However, pandemics generally make other inequalities more significant. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and reinforced the disparity between the rich & poor. Many who could not afford to stop working have been unable to isolate themselves, even if they are considered at-risk. The wealthier members of society have the luxury of isolating themselves correctly and in better conditions. Their working conditions are also likely to be pleasanter, with more work-from-home spaces and better equipment available. It is highly likely that we will have another pandemic in our lifetimes.

“This should remind us to value the many people whose jobs do not generate huge incomes but are worthwhile, essential, even noble—from scholars and teachers to janitors and street cleaners. The market may not reward them, but we should respect them.”

The new age of technology has connected all the world and created mass globalization. We are more interconnected than ever before, and our economies heavily depend on other economies. Although many countries talk of deglobalization and improved self-sufficiency, there are many areas where this isn’t currently feasible. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on trade and will continue to do so, it’s unlikely to end globalization.

Lesson 8 - Globalization Is Not Dead

However, Zakaria highlights that hard-edged realpolitik is still lurking. With the rise of China and growing tensions with America, a conflict could be around the corner. Therefore, although globalization has offered fantastic opportunities, it has the potential to create conflict based on economics.

There are many divisions in our world, and these seem to be becoming stronger, both nationally and internationally. The US-China battle is a form of bipolarity. The two countries are different in many ways, and the sense of division is increasing. Both countries are striving for trade, technological, and political dominance. China has begun challenging the US for power. The US’s decline on the global stage has caused many forms of tension. Its poor approach to the COVID-19 pandemic increased these problems. Some experts are concerned about the potential for another Cold War.

Lesson 9 - The World Is Becoming Bipolar

We can see this same bipolarity across large parts of the world in various contexts. For example, the political divide between the right and the left is becoming starker in America and parts of Europe. Zakaria believes this bipolarity is inevitable. However, we can decide whether these differences in opinion lead to violence. This will require collaboration from the whole world, not only China and the US.

“America is, in its DNA, an anti-statist country. The Right comes at it by defunding government. The Left does it by encumbering it with so many rules and requirements that it has a similar dysfunctional effect.”

The movement worldwide toward liberalism has improved more people’s lives than any previous system. Zakaria believes the success of liberalism is not due to the expectation that the world will one day be perfect. Instead, liberalism is underpinned by idealism. Liberalism is simple and practical. If people cooperate, they will achieve better outcomes and more durable solutions than if they act alone. If nations avoid war, their citizens will live longer, more prosperous, and more secure lives. If they become economically intertwined, they can elevate the quality of life for all their citizens.

Lesson 10 - Liberalism is Idealist

Although the connectedness of many countries allowed the pandemic to spread, it also brought advantages. The connectivity and ability to problem-solve at a global level had a huge impact. Our ability to distribute test kits, share medical knowledge, and develop solutions together saved countless lives. We need to build these collaborative techniques further and lean away from isolation and nationalism to combat future global threats.

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World

Going outside when you first wake up for about 2-10 minutes as well as in the evening for a few minutes will greatly improve sleep, mood, and energy as well as other things.<ul><li>This is because the light (or lack of it) acts as cues to your body, telling it that this is the time to be awake (achieved due to the effect of the sun), and in the evening, that this is the time to settle down</li></ul>-is also the case when inside your home. You should be increasing your exposure to (natural) light in the morning, but in the evening you should be decreasing light exposure(including the blue light from our devices)

Improving Sleep

Huberman notes many simple (but effective) ways of reducing/ preventing feelings of stress in our daily lives. These include:<ul><li>Expanding vison: This method can be used wherever you are and involves consciously increasing your field of vision so you are using your peripheral vision instead of being focused on a small area</li><li>Double Breathing: Double breathing is achieved by inhaling deeply through the nose and then quickly following that with a second short and sharp inhale (without exhaling). Then a long exhale.</li></ul>This alone has been proven to greatly reduce stress even after the first breath

Reducing Stress

Hydration plays a very important role in maintaining a high-functioning brain and body. Ensuring you are sufficiently hydrated throughout the day is the first step, however, Huberman mentions a hydration strategy for performing physically or mentally taxing work at a high standard. here it is:<ul><li>Your body weight (in pounds) divided by 30 is the amount of water (in ounces) you should drink about every 20 mins when performing physical/ mental tasks.</li></ul>

Hydration

<ul><li> Aim for some kind of social interaction when you wake up (could be with your pet)</li><li> 50mg of Apigenin, 300-400 mg of Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Bisglycinate, and 200 - 400 mg of Theanine. (Hubermans 'sleep cocktail') </li></ul>(Speak with relevant health professional before trying)

How to Improve Sleep and Reduce Stress with Dr. Andrew Huberman

let's go to the neuroscience: five specific tricks to improve memory and recall things better.

Researchers from the University of Roehampton in London divided their subjects into three groups.In Group 1, participants were asked to complete their task while walking forward.In Group 2, participants completed the same tasks while walking backward.In Group 3, participants acted as a control group, doing the same tasks but standing still.Results-The walking backward group (Group 2) recalled the task they did.

1.Walk Backward

<ul><li>massive study of 27,842 conducted by researchers associated with the Harvard School of Public Health, which found a link between diet and memory.</li><li>it's consumption of fruits and vegetables while young that counts the most.</li><li>you can't live on unhealthy food for 50 or 60 years and then make up for it by tripling down in your later years.</li></ul>

2.Eat Fruits And Vegetables

laboratory study out of Michigan State University determined that working in an environment with dim lighting can "change the brain's structure and hurt one's ability to remember and learn."<ul><li>Half of a group of Nile grass rats were kept in an environment with dim lighting. </li><li>The other half of the group of rats lived in an environment with much brighter lighting. </li></ul>In the end, the rats in the dim light "lost about 30 percent of capacity in the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, and performed poorly on a spatial task they had trained on previously," according to the study.

3.Get Better Lightening

study out of King's College London. Researchers here wanted to determine if intermittent fasting might spur hippocampal neurogenesis  and improve the memory performance of lab mice.<ul><li>A control group of mice who were treated and fed as always</li><li>A calorie-restricted group (CR), for which daily food intake was reduced by 10%</li><li>An intermittent fasting group (IF), for which food was similarly reduced, but that were fed only every other day during the study.</li></ul>results-The study found that the intermittent fasting group had "improved long-term memory retention compared to the other groups."

4.Try Intermittent Fast

Neuroscientists at Trinity College in Dublin surmised recently in the journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience that forgetfulness has a lot more to do with inability to access memories, as opposed to whether the memories were still physically stored in the brain.These researchers say it might be a net positivebest advice here might simply be not to worry about normal memory loss.Instead, accept it as a normal, healthy part of brain function--but also shore up your important memories with checklists, calendars, and other tools.

5.Don't Worry

Can You Trust Social Media for Health Advice?

Curcumin, a distinctive yellow-orange chemical extracted from the rhizomes of turmeric, may help fight osteoarthritis and other diseases. Curcumin is increasingly being added to cosmetic products that claim to help treat acne and eczema, prevent dry skin, and even slow down the ageing process. Other health claims include relieving allergies, preventing cancer, and improving heart health. However, the proportion of curcumin in turmeric is just 3% by weight, and doses of curcumin needed to give health benefits are very high.

Curcumin has potential health benefits

Studies found that curcumin could inhibit angiogenesis, which all tumours need to sustain themselves. However, curcumin has poor bioavailability, making it nearly impossible to get sufficiently high concentrations of curcumin into the blood through oral supplementation alone. Research shows that combining curcumin with piperine - a compound found in black pepper - can enhance its absorption into the blood. However, piperine inhibits a variety of enzymes that aid in metabolising drugs. Although there is evidence of the benefits of curcumin, further research is necessary.

Advances in drug-delivery techniques

Clinical trials show that curcumin, present in the spice, may help fight osteoarthritis and other diseases, but there’s a catch – bioavailability, or how to get it into the blood

Does turmeric’s reputation translate into real health benefits?

People know that they want less fat and more muscle, but they often don't know what it takes to get there. Body recomposition is the act of altering your physique by burning fat and gaining muscle at the same time. It needs a different approach to health and fitness than the typical weight-loss mindset. By keeping a close eye on when you eat what and your training, you can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

Body recomposition

Your body composition is the ratio of fat mass to lean mass in your body.Lean mass includes muscle, bones, ligaments, tendons, organs, other tissues and water. Everything else is fat mass. You may define water as its own percentage depending on the method you use to measure it.Body composition is changing the ratio of fat mass to lean mass. The goal is to lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously instead of the traditional approach of putting on weight first and then losing the fat to reveal the muscle underneath.

Understanding body composition

Body recomposition isn't about weight loss; it's about fat loss. Because muscle is denser than fat, you may maintain your current weight or even gain weight on a body recomposition plan. Weight loss isn't the primary goal with body composition, so you can ditch the scale because it doesn't differentiate between fat loss and muscle loss.

Forget about weight loss

Body recomposition comes down to your specific health and fitness goals.Basic guidelines to successfully change your body composition:<ul><li>Cardiovascular exercise for fat loss</li><li>Resistance (weight) training to build muscle</li><li>The overall decrease in calorie consumption to lose fat</li><li>Increased protein intake to promote muscle formation</li></ul>

How body recomposition works

Fat loss is about your calorie maintenance. To lose fat, you must eat fewer calories than you burn. The best technique for fat loss is cardiovascular exercise or combined cardio and resistance exercise and a healthy diet. A sustainable way to lose fat is to have realistic goals and not deprive your body of its nutrients.

How to lose fat

Focus on two main factors: <ol><li>Weight training. Your muscles won't grow if you don't challenge them.</li><li>Protein consumption. You must eat more calories than you burn to promote muscle growth. Protein is essential for building muscle. Without it, your body will struggle to repair the muscle tissues that get broken down during weight training. </li></ol>

How to build muscle

Figure out your maintenance calories - how many calories you burn on a day you don't exercise. Use a certified personal trainer, dietitian or an online calorie calculator.<ul><li>On days that you do cardio exercise, consume enough calories to meet your maintenance number. It ensures that you're in a slight deficit to promote fat loss.</li><li>On days that you do a strength training workout for 30 minutes or more, eat 5% to 15% more calories than your maintenance number with a focus on protein. </li><li>On days that you don't work out at all, eat 5 % to 15%  less than your maintenance calories.</li></ul>

How To Build Muscle

Want to tone up and build muscle? The secret isn't weight loss -- you need to know about body recomposition.

Can You Lose Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time? Yes, Here's How

Dialing in a perfectly flavored cup begins even before brewing—in the careful consideration of roast degree. A light-roasted coffee will taste fruity, tea-like even, as its sugars don’t get inordinately caramelized during roast.Dark roasted beans are, as you might imagine, aggressively toasted—which might comes across as cozy in a hot cup, but just tastes bitter, acrid on ice. Any of the nuanced flavors that once existed in the coffee are muddied.

The Beans: Go For Medium Or Light

1. Grind.Grind your beans for your preferred brewing method (powder-fine for espresso, medium-fine for pourover, medium for drip, coarse for French press).2. Fill Your Brewing Carafe With Ice.Remember, ice is iced coffee’s necessary evil; work with, not against, its dilutive powers. For pourover and drip, fill your brewing carafe halfway with ice; the brewed coffee will be chilled immediately upon drip.3. Halve The Water. That's simple.4. Brew On Ice.Brew the coffee using your chosen method—right over the ice with pourover and drip, or as usual with espresso and French press.

How To Make Iced Coffee

1. Coarse-Grind Your Beans.Given the extended brew time, a coarse grind is fine enough to allow extraction, but not so fine that the cold brew emerges unpleasantly bitter. For cold brew, Abella estimates 1 cup grounds to 7 cups room temperature water.  2. Combine & Let Sit.Combine the ground coffee and water in a large sealable jar or French press and stir well. Let sit for anywhere between 12-24 hours before fine-straining or plunging. (Any longer, and you risk an overextracted, bitter brew; any shorter, and it will be weak and flavorless.) Drink straight, on ice, or with a splash of milk.
