So after all these hours talking about AI, in these last five minutes I am going to talk about:
Horses.
Engines, steam engines, were invented in 1700.
And what followed was 200 years of steady improvement, with engines getting 20% better a decade.

Being so online has implications for our personal lives. Common side effects include increased anxiety, depression, envy, and insecurity. That, along with shrinking attention spans and disrupted sleep.
Being so online has implications for wider culture as well. People are becoming more average over time because we’re all consuming the same content curated for us by TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X and so on. This is often talked about as “algorithmic flattening,” and what that means is when we all consume the same inputs, we create similar outputs whether that’s in the form of art, startups, research, or even thoughts. We're all losing our floofy spiky uniqueness and being eroded into a standard shape, which crushes originality and creativity at a societal scale.

was recently posed this question
What are the principles of marketing to you?
my answer:
marketing is pretty much sales to me, and having some sales background, i would say
a) clarity in message/pitch, because customers do not have time to try decipher your sophisticated messaging (KISS)
b) consistent branding throughout -> trust and credibility
c) audience always comes first, do not create anything that you wouldn't want to watch/see
d) sell dreams and emotions
wanted to gather some thoughts on this question, whether you’re an experienced marketer or not
what are the principles of marketing to you?
lmk!

Unattractive people are unaware of their (un)attractiveness - PubMed
Past research has shown that how people rate their physical attractiveness is only moderately correlated with how they are rated by others, suggesting that at least some people have little insight into their true level of attractiveness. The present research…
kinda reminds me of Egocentric Bias
The egocentric bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to rely too heavily on their own point of view when they examine events in their life or when they try to see things from other people’s perspective.
Example:
Individuals tend to believe they contribute more than others in the group or their partner. A classic study with married couples found that when both partners estimated their share of housework, the total percentage often exceeded 100%.

my current mini obsession is marketing
it was something i used to dislike back in university because i thought it was just designing pretty posters and videos and that it was a female dominated field
now i'm getting fascinated by the human psych aspect of things in marketing and reading up materials on how to be a good marketer
might start a curriculum for this into 2026

So I became really intentional about having “side quests”
E.g. I used to read very specific research papers about non-work topics I’m curious about
I’ve been seeing lots of content about creating your own curriculum:

Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green
an indepth read into the history of the world's leading cause of death
John managed to weave stories of patients together with statistics and facts to keep it interesting
some parts were a bit harder to get through due to jargon and walls of facts, but nevertheless i felt like i did gain more awareness about tuberculosis
lastly, pretty happy that Henry survived because at multiple points i thought he was about to succumb to TB
main takeaways:
- Tuberculosis remains the world's deadliest infection because of injustice
- it is curable, yet because of corporation's greed and inaccessibility to treatment, millions are still dying every year
fav quotes:
3.8/5
good extra reading

Nothing is so privileged as thinking history belongs to the past.
People living with TB today have told me that fighting the disease is hard, but fighting the stigma of their communities is even harder.

did you know?
Before the germ theory of disease, we did not know that around half the cells in our body do not belong to us! they are bacteria and other microscopic organisms colonizing our body. to one degree or another, these microorganisms can also control the body. Some of your thoughts might not belong to you, but the microorganisms in your digestive tract. Research also indicates that certain gut biomes are associated with major depression and anxiety disorders too!
