You might have known this unlike me, but I recently found out thatWe think dopamine gets released whenever we reccieve a reward.However, it doesn't work that way.Suppose you're in front of a slot machine wherein as soon as you pull the lever and you see 7 popping up as first digit , Your brain has already anticipated the reward of you getting all Sevens and you've already got that dopamine hit. Now it is immaterial whether the next two numbers are 7 or not.You are destined to pull the lever for the second time the moment the first 7 popped up.

Dopamine gets released in the anticipation of reward.

When you're on your social media you see first post on your wall you felt good however, dopamine had already got released moment you clicked the app iconWhen you've walked past the first post and you're about the reach the second that's where comes another hit. It's immaterial whether the second post is exciting enough or not. You have already desired to see the third post just like you made a desire to run the slot machine for another time.Its crazy how social media apps are designed in a way that you never see just one post in one frame and there's always a teaser of the next to keep scroll

🔴 How to learn ANYTHING with @TanmayBhatYT and @abish

🔴 Learning to learn : Part 1 (with Tanmay Bhatt and Abish Mathew)

I get absolutely fascinated by people who possess the ability to shape your thoughts into a imaginable visual structure. The mere ability to define mental models unlocks a whole new way to learn things. The ability to shape thoughts into imaginable visual structure no less than a superpower Think of the last time someone said things like"x is a subset of y""x is a branch of y"" x is at the centre of a web with y z and b beings cobwebs" It brings out that Aha moment when you realize "oh you can even think that way"

Thought Visualisation

Unlocks a whole new dimension in our brain tho create and store ideas sustainably fora longer time.
