I believe that the evidence for telepathy is overwhelming and that it is a part of reality that is above science

And it might be covered by science!The supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses might be explained by Quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated. This leads to correlations between observable physical properties of the systems.Einstein named it spooky action at a distance with effects demonstrated through real physical experiments.

Telepathy might actually exist

By admitting this phenomenon is real, we are admitting that our reality is full of particles that have instant, faster than light connections.Think about it a little bit.Our brains are parts of the universe and they are also made of particles that should obey the general laws of physics. Which are the implications?Imagine two separate brains with each one of them containing a particle from a resonating pair.This can create simultaneous and identical effects for these brains. One thought from a brain can influence a thought from the other. Actual science allows that.

Nature allows pairs of particles to  simultaneously ‘vibrate’

Quantum entanglement refers to any kind of particles, not only ones located within brains or experiments.Did you happen to see or hear about coincidences with a very low probability to be just that?The odds of winning the Lotto 6/49 jackpot are one in 13,983,816 for every single ticket. The odds to win it twice are one in 13,983,816 x 13,983,816. An unimaginable number. But it happened to Jason Brown.The strange phenomenon of two things happening in the same time, two people thinking or doing the same thing simultaneously without one knowing about the other could be backed by science!

Some coincidences could be non-random

To better explain reality and why is happening what is happening.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Science & Nature

Much of this decision-making is difficult. Weighing options is especially hard due to certain biases that can lead you astray.These biases can include over-or underestimating the likelihood of something happening to you based on whether your friends have experienced something similar or how much you see it covered in the media. Another reason why decision-making is hard is the propensity to overweigh the instant gratification or the instant pain of a decision over the long-term consequences.

Life is a neverending series of decisions

Without clear objectives for what you want to achieve with a decision, you might focus on the wrong things.Ask yourself, “What do I hope to achieve by addressing this choice?” and focus on aspects that aren’t easily quantifiable. This can be applied to both big and smaller decisions.

Zero in on what you really want

While it’s worth taking time to settle larger decisions, don’t expend too much time and energy on the small stuff.
And don’t stress about the quality of your decision-making on these small choices either. Although the term decision fatigue — i.e., the more decisions you make during the day, the more likely you are to make bad ones — is buzzworthy, research doesn’t support its supposed effects. Having to make 10 choices a day versus two choices doesn’t mean your 10th choice will be worse. There’s no evidence of that.

A good decision-maker doesn't dwell on small choices

In some instances, making a decision before you’re actually in a specific scenario can help you avoid being swayed by outside forces, or ending up overwhelmed by the number of choices available. Going to the grocery store armed with a list can help you get everything you need.There are all sorts of situations when, in the heat of the moment, you might make a decision you later regret. Pre-committing to a plan can prevent you from giving into those urges that could be bad.

Decide as much as you can in advance

Don’t make a major decision in a vacuum. Get a handful of opinions — ideally from people with prior experience in the topic at hand. The more expertise they have, the less likely they are to base their evaluations on a bias.

Get a second opinion for the big stuff

Emotions get a bad rap for negatively influencing decision-making. However, it’s impossible to divorce emotions from logic. The key is to understand how emotions are impacting your choices.
Understanding that, for example, anger makes us take more risks can help crystallize why you may want to aggressively tailgate the car that just cut you off on the highway.
Realizing your emotions are pulling you in a certain direction can make you better equipped to accept these feelings for what they are.

A good decision-maker is mindful of their emotions

What you really want is not that simple. It’s based on very complex and very subtle beliefs, memories.These lists can still be useful tools. When you force yourself to spell out the good and the bad in each choice, you have to slow down and think about your priorities and values. Your actions should be authentic representations of your needs — and the pros and cons list can be a helpful way of zeroing in on what you really want.

Be thoughtful about how you use pros and cons lists

Don’t think of decisions just as protective measures meant to prevent you from making your life worse. You can make choices that make a good situation even better.
“What decision can I make to make my life more interesting in the future?” If you think of some alternatives and you pursue one, your life didn’t get worse because you decided to think of that.

A good decision-maker thinks of decisions as opportunities

A good decision-maker chooses actions that give the best outcome for themselves and others. Here's how to become one.

According to new research published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12447">The British Journal of Social Psychology </a>, frequency of bullshitting intended to impress or persuade others (i.e., persuasive bullshitting) predicts susceptibility to misleading misinformation, including pseudo-profound bullshit, scientific bullshit, and fake news. “We’ve all fallen victim to believing some sort of dumb bullshit at one point or another in our lives. Whether it’s astrology or the latest ridiculous diet or health fad that’s ‘based on science!’ . Some types of bullshit that we fall for are relatively harmless but might make us feel stupid.

People Talk A Lot. Yet Say Very Little. 

later when we realize we’ve been duped. But other types can potentially be more harmful, especially when one’s health is concerned.” Bullshit receptivity and bullshitting frequency are both negatively associated with cognitive ability and analytic thinking. Thus, it could be the case that individuals who frequently engage in bullshitting are also more likely to fall for bullshit. There are two types of bullshitting: 1) attempting to impress, persuade, or fit in with others by stretching or exaggerating the truth (i.e., persuasive bullshitting)

2) being evasive when direct answers could result in reputational harm for oneself or others (i.e., evasive bullshitting). “

Littrell and colleagues recruited a total of 826 participants from Canada and the United States. Study 1 explored the extent to which bullshitting frequency was associated with pseudo-profound bullshit, scientific bullshit, and fake news, with each task including a measure of receptivity to relevant non-bullshit (e.g., genuinely profound statements, scientific information, actual news headlines).Study 2 more closely examined the extent to which bullshitting frequency was associated with bullshit receptivity, specifically pseudo-profound bullshit. It included measures of cognitive ability.

Lastly, Study 3 experimentally tested whether the observed association was the product of higher frequency persuasive bullshitters being insensitive to the differences in statements that sound profound and those that actually are profound. One group of participants were instructed to rate items on the bullshit receptivity scale based on how profound they sound , while ignoring how profound they believe the items actually are . The other group received the reverse instructions and were prompted to rate items based on how profound they actually are , while ignoring how profound they sound .

I steer clear of a person who loves the sound of their own voice.

New study suggests you can bullshit some bullshitters

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

Moments of happiness are obtained by comparing them with moments of sadness.You cannot be happy without previously experiencing a symmetric sadness. Without the sadness, you will not be able to identify what feels good.Actually, moments of sadness are a predictor for happiness.This explains why sometimes poor people are happier than very rich people. Rich people increased the threshold of feeling happy and they should add over that threshold in order to feel happy again. With a lower threshold, it is easier to achieve happiness.Try to be sad, you will encounter unexpected happiness!

Do not try to be positive

If you are trying to always be happy, you are simply following an illusion. This is why social media does not help your brain. We are forced to replicate the level of happiness seen online, a fake happiness.Think about an entire day when you did not have anything to do and then go to a party. Compare it with a day when you had things to resolve and then went to the party.Which one of the parties felt better?Of course the one after a hard day. The average of feelings is constant, but you concentrated your happiness on the end - and it felt better & more natural - expectations were better met.

The average sum of good and bad feelings is constant. It is zero.

Jordan Peterson suggests that Good is simply the prevention of Evil, and good rules that reduce unnecessary human suffering will help us to live better lives. The 12 Rules of Life in this book are built on the fundamental rule that we must each take responsibility for our own lives. Get your life in order and do the best for yourself, your society, and the world at large. Only then will you discover the true extent of your potential and resilience, while helping mankind to thrive collectively.

12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson

All animals, including humans, are governed by dominance hierarchies and involuntary biochemical responses. Lobsters, for example, the battle for dominance. During a confrontation, 2 lobsters size each other up using their body/claw sizes and chemical secretions (which signal their health, strength, and mood). Dominant lobsters have higher serotonin levels, project greater confidence, a better posture, and can fight longer. An alpha lobster typically “wins” without even having to fight physically.

Rule 1: Fix your Posture

After each confrontation, a lobster’s brain changes—the loser avoids further conflict, whereas the victor gains even higher confidence and serotonin levels. Similar patterns can be found in other animal species—generally, stronger animals get more food, better “homes”, higher status, better mates, and greater cooperation from others. That’s nature’s way of distributing scarce resources.Likewise, humans have a dominance detector in our brains. How we perceive our social/economic status affects our well-being which reinforces our status in a positive feedback loop.

People with strong self-esteem feel/transmit a sense of security and confidence, which makes them more attractive and respected. This improves their productivity and well-being, which further reinforces their self-perception. Higher serotonin levels are associated with greater resilience, happiness, health, lifespan, pro-social behavior, and leadership.• On the other hand, people with a low self-perception feel insecure. They’re more likely to be stressed, jumpy, and reactive. They make poor decisions, fail to command respect/resources, which reinforce their loser complex.

In short, our self-perception affects the vibes we transmit to create a self-reinforcing loop. If you feel like a loser for whatever reason, the first step is to break the negative cycle by correcting your posture.• Don’t slouch. It conveys defeat and low status, which prompts others to treat you poorly and reinforces your low self-perception.

• Fix your posture. Stand straight, push your shoulders back, speak up and make eye contact. This signals confidence to yourself and others. You’ll feel better, others will show you more respect, and it starts a virtuous cycle. It’s about standing tall, facing up to reality, and taking responsibility to become all you can be.

We tend to take better care of our pets than we do ourselves. When a pet is sick, we diligently follow the prescribed care. Yet, when we’re sick, we fail to fill/take our prescriptions.

Rule 2: Care for yourself like how you’d care for someone else

We become the average of the people we spend the most time with. In the wrong company, we can end up in crime or even suicide. So, why do we hang around people who drag us down?

Rule 3: Surround yourself with people who want the best for you

In a highly-connected, populous world, you can always find someone who’s better than you—be it in looks, wealth, status, or relationships. No matter what you’ve achieved, you can still feel miserably inferior compared to others.

Rule 4: Improve your own game instead of playing others’

children aren’t born with social-cultural skills—they must be taught how the world works and how to navigate human society. Parents who don’t set clear boundaries for their young kids actually end up hurting them in the long run.

Rule 5: Teach your children to abide by society’s rules

Setbacks and suffering are inevitable in life. Some people respond with denial, helplessness, anger, or even acts of vengeance (e.g. genocide). Yet, others are positively transformed by adversity—they make peace with what happened and devote themselves to making a positive difference. Which type are you?

Rule 6: Get your own house in order before criticizing others

We can use suffering as an excuse to live carelessly in the moment, or we can do something meaningful to minimize the suffering.

Rule 7: Focus on a higher purpose, not instant gratification

All of us are guilty of lying to ourselves and others. Find out why we lie, how we get stuck in a “life-lie” because, and what it means to find and live your personal truth.

Rule 8: Find your personal truth and live it

People need a listening ear. As a good listener, you can learn while helping others to solve problems.

Rule 9: Learn to be a good listener

We avoid looking deeply into a problem in hope that it’ll go away by itself, but this only causes the doubts and uncertainties to build up into a catastrophic failure.

Rule 10: Define your problem precisely to make it manageable

Some post-modernists argue that gender is entirely a social construct or a tool for men to oppress women and that hierarchies are created by the rich to exploit the poor. Peterson disagrees :)

Rule 11: Accept that inequality exists

Suffering is inevitable and some people just seem to have a worse lot in life than others. Peterson’s own daughter suffered from a rare juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and was plagued with years of chronic pain. If you find yourself wondering about the seemingly-pointless suffering around us, this last rule from the 12 Rules of Life helps us to see things from a different perspective and to balance the good and bad in life so life seems worth living.

Rule 12: Take time to appreciate the good things in life

Fantastic, it’s everything you expect from Jordan B. Peterson. A “self-help” style book, it beautifully interweaves history, religion, science, and philosophy into a highly pragmatic book on how to be a fulfilled, successful, better human being.

Book Summary – 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos

The business and productivity app market is worth billions of dollars. Every day, there is a new productivity tool popping up, a book about productivity being published, and millions of people reading and sharing content related to personal productivity. It started as a measure of efficiency for the production of goods and services. Somehow, along the way, many of us have become addicted to productivity.

The Premise

At its core, productivity addiction is based on the same reward systems as other addictions. By providing constant reinforcement — for example, financial rewards in the form of salary increases, or social rewards in the form of work recognition — productivity can become a goal in and of itself, resulting in compulsive behaviours.
The problem is that just like all addictions, over time a person needs more and more to be satisfied and then it starts to work against you. Withdrawal symptoms include increased anxiety, depression and fear.

The Obsession With Productivity

At least in the Western world, our education has often taught us to tie our self-worth to how much we contribute to society. The more we contribute, the better. “I work, therefore I am.” Being productive feels like a way to improve our self-worth.This positive reinforcement can make it hard to realise we may be falling prey to productivity addiction.

Addicted To Productivity

There are five tell-tale signs you may be addicted to productivity:<ul><li>You don’t want to “waste” any time.</li><li>You tend to turn hobbies into side projects.</li><li>You feel guilty when you don’t hit your targets. </li><li>You always make work a priority. </li><li>You constantly feel busy.</li></ul>

Five Tell-Tale Signs

<ul><li>Make space for self-reflection. </li><li>Define meaningful priorities.</li><li>Remember that <a href="https://nesslabs.com/hobbies-versus-hustles">not all hobbies need to become hustles</a>.</li><li>Reconsider your relationship with time.</li><li> Create your own system. </li><li>pay attention to your triggers.</li></ul>As a recovering productivity addict, you may need to always be careful about not falling back into old patterns whenever you start a new job, a new hobby, or set a new exciting goal. Practising self-reflection and paying attention to your mental health will ensure the way you work is more enjoyable and more sustainable.

How to Manage Productivity Addiction

Productivity addiction: when we become obsessed with productivity

“There are two types of people in this world: those who resist change in favor of nostalgia and those who move with the times and create a better future.”

“Using words that talk straight to the part of the brain that is free from maybes and responds on reflex gives you a fair advantage in conversation and can result in you getting your own way more often.”

Magic words are sets of words that talk straight to the subconscious brain. The subconscious brain is a powerful tool in decision-making because it is preprogrammed through our conditioning to make decisions without overanalyzing them.Your aim shouldn’t be to move a person from “no” to “yes”—rather, you should focus on turning a “maybe” into a decision. And don’t fall into the trap of thinking that simple means small results—these tips and tricks could change everything about the way you get work done.

Use Magic Words

As a species, we are hardwired for narrative: stories help us understand the world around us, empathize with others, analyze the past, and make decisions for the future.When you want someone to make a decision in your favor, whether it’s to purchase a product, collaborate with you, or simply to agree with your point of view, invoking their imagination can be a powerful trigger. Examples:<ul><li>Just imagine how things will be in six months’ time once you have implemented this.</li><li> Just imagine the look on your kids’ faces when they see you achieve this.</li></ul>

The Power of Stories

For many people, there is a common urge to dig into the details—especially for those that consider themselves experts on a particular topic. Especially for those selling technical products or services, big-ticket items, or intangibles—the urge to dive right into details is strong. However, it’s often much more effective to resist the urge to geek out on the details, and keep responses at a very high level.Keep it simple: what is the outcome you’re trying to solve for? Remember that people typically make decisions based on feelings, with logic coming second.

Keep It Simple

All people think they know best – that’s how we’re built to think. And if you want to steer a conversation in a certain direction, you have to have control over it.A great way to achieve this is by moving the other person’s position “from one of certainty to one of doubt.” Hence the “what do you know?” magic phraseExamples:<ul><li>What do you know about everything that has changed since (insert event)?</li><li>What do you know about how things really work here?</li></ul>

What Do You Know?

Nothing motivates us more than losing what we already own. So paint for your listener a future scenario so that you can trigger in him the proper emotions.Examples: <ul><li>How would you feel if your competition passed you? (the “loss aversion” trigger)</li><li>How would you feel if this decision led to your promotion? (the “if-success” trigger; “loss aversion” in absentia).</li></ul>

How Would You Feel If?

When it comes to decision-making, we are notoriously susceptible to being fooled by both our emotions and our reason. We also tend to suffer from analysis paralysis when we have to choose from a number of options.A good way to take control over situations such as these is by offering only three options; afterward, just ask the other person “Of those three options, what’s going to be easier for you?”

You Have Three Options

If you want to prompt a near-instant decision, then frame the options within the “two types of people” narrative.<ul><li>There are two types of people in this world: those who leave their personal financial success in the hands of their employers and those who take full responsibility and build their own futures.</li><li>There are two types of people in this world: those who resist change in favor of nostalgia and those who move with the times and create a better future.</li></ul>

Two Types of People

Even if the good news follows after the worst news, they always tend to bring some relief.
The formula is even more powerful if there is no bad news. Everybody wants some positivity in his/her life, and “The good news is…” is the magic word to infuse it!

The Good News

Sometimes, people say “no” – and are adamant about not changing their minds. Don't give up, try another magic combo.Examples<ul><li>Just out of curiosity, what is it specifically you need some time to think about?</li><li>Just out of curiosity, what is it that’s stopping you from moving forward with this right now?</li></ul>

Exactly What to Say

One of the most effective ways to change your behaviour is to change your identity: Changing the way you see yourself.Our perception of who we are—our identity or self-image—has a dramatic effect on our future actions.Self-image is a cognitive shortcut that helps our brains make otherwise difficult choices in advance, thereby streamlining the decision-making process.

Use the Psychology of Self-Image to Transform Your Habits for Good

There is psychological empowerment that comes with saying, “I don’t,” rather than, “I can’t.”The results of a study demonstrate the influence that self-description and self-image have on our behaviour—we think; therefore, we will be.The way we think of ourselves can have a profound impact on how we deal with distractions and unintended behaviours.To leverage the power of identity to fight distraction, we can make an “identity pact,” which is a precommitment to a self-image that helps us pursue what we really want.

“I don’t” Vs “I can’t”

By aligning our behaviours with our identity, we make choices based on who we want to be.To do this, start by identifying the behaviour you want to stop. For example, say you’d like to stop eating meat. For people who view themselves as meat-eaters trying to quit, the task of cutting out meat cold turkey can seem large and daunting because they feel as though they are constrained: “I can’t stop eating meat!”Vegetarians, by contrast, have an easier time abstaining from meat. They don’t feel as though they are constrained; abstaining from meat is instead simply an expression of who they are.

How to Align Your Identity With a Behaviour

Making identity pacts can empower us to become the individuals we want to be. Whether the behaviour is related to what we eat, how we treat others, or how we manage distraction, this technique can help mould our behaviour to fit our <a href="https://www.nirandfar.com/common-values/">values</a>.

The Bottom Line

Change your behaviour by becoming a different kind of individual.

One way to change your behavior is to change your identity. Wait, what? Yep, our perception of who we are has a dramatic effect on our future actions.

The Key to Behavior Change is Identity Change

Freud helps us understand why our lives and relationships are full of problems and pain. He explains why life is hard and how to cope.  Despite his success in later years, he was often unhappy. He stated during some research he recorded, "The chief patient I am preoccupied with is myself." Perhaps because of this, Freud gained deep insights into the sources of human unhappiness.

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis

Freud proposed that humans are driven by the pleasure principle, which gives people easy physical and emotional rewards and drives them away from unpleasant things like drudgery and discipline. Freud argued that infants were guided by the pleasure principle. However,  indulging in pleasure without constraints will lead to dangerous, reckless things like never doing any work or overeating or sleeping with members of one's own family.

The pleasure principle

Freud believed we needed to adjust to the reality principle. There are better and worse kinds of adaptations. The bad ones he called neuroses. Neuroses are the result of faulty negotiations with the pleasure principle.

The reality principle

<ol><li>The ID is driven by the pleasure principle.</li><li>The superego is driven by a desire to follow the rules and do the right social thing.</li><li>The ego has to accommodate the two.</li></ol>

The personality is composed of three elements

To understand the dynamics of the three elements, Freud refers to the origins of our neuroses in childhood in distinct phases. <ul><li>The oral phase: Dealing with the feelings around ingestion and eating. We might pick up on all kinds of neuroses, such as taking pleasure in refusing food, or overeating.</li><li>The anal phase: Testing the limits of authority.</li><li>The phallic phase ends around age 6. Freud insists that children have sexual feelings and direct them towards their parents. He described the Oedipus complex, where children are predisposed towards "being in love with one parent and hating the other."</li></ul>

The origins of neuroses in a child

In this book, Freud wrote that society can give us many things, but by imposing heavy dictates on us: insisting that we sleep with only a few, imposing the incest taboo, requiring us to put off our immediate desires, demanding that we follow authority, that we work to earn money. He states that societies function by being neurotic and that it is the reason for wars and other difficulties.

Civilisation and its Discontents - 1930

Freud attempted to invent a treatment for neuroses, namely psychoanalysis. He thought proper analysis could uncover what troubles people and help to adjust reality. He analysed a number of key things.<ul><li>He looked at people's dreams, which he described as wish fulfilment.</li><li>He looked at revealing slips of the tongues, we know as Freudian slips.</li><li>He said we used jokes to relieve our anxiety about topics like death or marriage.</li></ul>

PSYCHOTHERAPY - Sigmund Freud

Carl Gustav Jung coined the terms introversion and extraversion in the 1920s. According to Jung: <ul><li>An extravert wants intensive contact with the outside world.</li><li>An introvert turns the psychic energy inwards.</li></ul>Yet no one is 100% extraert or introvert. Most people tend to one or the other side.However, iff both characteristics are equally present, they have an ambivert personality.

Carl Jung on introverts and extraverts

In the 1960s, Hans Eysenck added to Jung's ideas. He thought the main difference between introverts and extraverts lies in how they recharge their mental energy.  <ul><li>Introverted people have a higher level of brain activity and need to protect themselves from too much external stimuli. They gain mental energy by withdrawing themselves.</li><li>The extravert has less neuronal activity. They overcome this lack by exposing themselves to external stimulation, which charges their inner batteries.</li></ul>

Hans Eysenck's ideas

Introverts may walk away from small talk to recharge, but that doesn't mean that they are shy. They may not be afraid to talk to anyone, but when too many people are around and the conversation becomes superficial, they get tired. One strategy is to withdraw and recharge through silence.

Introverts are not shy

Some experts state that extraverts and introverts use different brain areas to form their ideas. An extravert relies on short term memory and can come to fast associations and ideas. But they often speak before they think. An introvert retrieves information from long-term memory. Their thoughts are more complex and need time to develop. That is why they think first before they speak.

Extraverts and introverts use different brain areas

Good teachers are aware of the differences between extraverts and introverts and try to develop their strengths. They help extraverts to learn to formalise their thoughts before they speak and introverts to get more talking time to practice their public speaking. Group projects can support both temperaments. Extraverts can learn how to develop more complex thoughts while introverts can learn to think and speak more flexibly.

Developing the strengths of extraverts and introverts

Introversion and extroversion (or extraversion) are terms first coined by psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung in Switzerland of the 1920s. According to Jung, an extrovert seeks intensive contact with the outside world. An introvert instead turns the psychic energy inwards. Jung believed that no one is 100% extravert or 100% introvert instead we carry both traits. However, most minds tend to lean either on one side or the other. If both characteristics are equally present, we can speak of someone who has an ambivert personality.
