11 signs you're in a relationship with someone who values loyalty and commitment

To be intelligent is to be a general problem solver. You can learn about history, learn how to dance or speak languages. The 2 meta problems you have to solve:<ol><li>The capacity to anticipate. The further you can see things unfolding into the future the more intelligent. </li><li>The ability to zero-in on the relevant information. The further you look into the future the more options you have to consider. Recognizing the important while ignoring the rest is a sign of intelligence. We do ignore most of our sensory inputs anyway.</li></ol>The more you are anticipating the harder it is to pick up on relevant information.

What does It Mean To Be Intelligent?

You are not intelligent by how much information you can take in, but by how much information you can ignore.

There is nothing in physics, chemistry or anything else that can measure the relevance of something. Relevance is contextual and personal.I grasp this bottle. Grapability is not an attribute of the bottle, as it can't be grassped by an ant. Nor an attribute of the hand since I can't grasp a car. The graspability is in the fitness of my hand to the bottle. It's in how the hand and the bottle belong to eachother, how they connect to eachother.

There Is No Relevance Marker

... are not the same, but somehow we got to treat them as synonyms. But you can be very well informed and foolish. Wisdom is about avoiding our self deception, our innate ability to lie to ourselves. Too much information can act as amuntition for the deception more than its antidote.Wisdom can be thought. But it's more of a practice than a simple information exchange. Socrates figured it out 2000 yrs ago with his dialectic method.

Knowledge And Wisdom

We are told meaning is purpose. It's actually more than that. Meaning has 4 components:<ol><li>Coherence. Your experience needs to make sense. It can't be absurd.</li><li>Significance. How real is the experience. You may have the perfect relationship but if (s)he cheated ... was the love real?</li><li>Connectedness. Being part of something greater than yourself.</li><li>Purpose. Working towards something. </li></ol>

What Give Life Meaning

<ol><li>Aristotle famously said cultivating character is the most important thing one can do. How much time do you spend per week to cultivate yours?</li><li>What do you want to exist, even if you don't? Do you care about something that transcends your ego?</li><li>What do you do right now to impact that thing?</li></ol>These questions don't have easy answers. It may take years to formulate them.

Annalie Howling: Our Versions And Our Connections

When comparing God’s words to Satan’s words, a major difference is the tone and intent behind them. God’s words often carry a message of unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance. This message fosters trust, hope, and faith in God, bringing a sense of peace and happiness within oneself. On the other hand, Satan’s words often carry a message of division, judgment, and fear. This message fosters doubt, distrust, and fear in oneself, bringing a sense of anxiety and despair.

19 Quotes to Lead Your Way to Success

Define Success 

Nighttime snacking is a prevalent issue that often disrupts healthy eating habits and weight management. Typically, these snacks aren’t about hunger; they’re about habits or boredom. Addressing this effectively doesn’t always require drastic measures but rather a simple behavioral change.

Understanding The Habit

A straightforward yet effective strategy to combat this is to brush your teeth immediately after dinner. This act serves as a psychological cue that eating time has ended, helping shift your mindset from food consumption to winding down for the night.

The Power Of Brushing Your Teeth

The fresh, minty flavor of toothpaste generally clashes with most foods and makes the prospect of eating after brushing quite unappealing. This natural deterrent decreases the likelihood of grabbing that unnecessary snack.

The Role Of Minty Freshness

Let’s face it: the idea of having to brush your teeth again if you eat something post-brushing can be quite the deterrent. Most people would rather avoid the hassle of a second round of teeth cleaning just for a minor indulgence.

The Laziness Factor

Implementing this tip is easy and beneficial for both oral health and overall dietary habits. By making brushing your teeth a fixed part of your after-dinner routine, you create a helpful boundary against the common pitfall of nighttime snacking.
