#Microsoft's viral paper about *correlations* between #AI use and #criticalThinking also has "impact" in the title (despite admitting "Our analysis does not establish #causation"). 🤦‍♂️

#Confidence in #GenAI predicted LESS critical thinking.

SELF-confidence predicted MORE critical thinking.

PREDICTED ≠ CAUSED

The title versus the admission on page 14.

@flexghost All #Americans need to be disgusted by this. The blatant #corruption which saturates our #justice #system and #government has been on full display the moment #DirtbagDon stepped into #politics.

Unfortunately, the #damage has been done, #confidence has been lost, and there's no undo. Once this raging #asshole is sworn in, the #unhinged #insanity will #reign again.

The #unitedstates used to be the beacon of #hope for many people. Now it's just the #punchline to any number of #jokes.

Daily Inspiration: "Never let anyone dull your shine" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Ignore the critics!

That's something I will continue to do into 2025, and as we barrel into a year that promises to be unlike many others, it's something you should consider too.

Let me share something I've learned about dealing with criticism throughout my career - take in the good criticism, and ignore the other stuff! It's fascinating how good criticism - honest insight that can hide valuable wisdom, even when it doesn't feel that way - can help to move you forward. At the same time, it's stunning how easily it is for us to take in and internalize the hateful, agenda-oriented, anger-driven barbs that you might get along the way - and which cause us real damage.

Always keep in mind that you are always dealing with two types of critics. Some will share harsh feedback that contains insight that can help us grow. At the same time, others will share criticism that should be ignored, because it's agenda-oriented, or is driven by fear, jealousy, or other emotions. The key is learning the art of knowing which is which, and that's the key: you need to be selective about which criticism you take to heart.

Over the years, I've watched too many talented people get derailed by letting others' opinions overshadow their vision, ideas, and beliefs. I also know that I've often taken too much criticism to heart when I shouldn't have - as someone who spends time on a stage as a key part of their work, I've often had to learn the hard way how to take in what matters and ignore the rest!

I've seen too many brilliant ideas never reach their potential because someone listened to the wrong voices.

#Antidepressants "change your perception of the world, the kinetics of your movements or your emotional reactivity.
"Several studies have shown that very early changes (before any effect on mood) affect the recognition of facial emotions, the learning of new information or the updating of your beliefs."

"When you take an antidepressant, it is easier for you to recognize the smiles, the positive feelings on the faces of the people you're meeting on the street. It also is harder for you to recognize the negative feelings, the feelings of anger, the feelings of fear. And you have an easier recall of your positive, pleasant memories of the past.

🧶 …

In pharmacology, an #antidepressant refers to a fairly diverse set of molecules that do not have the same modes of action, the same therapeutic effects or the same undesirable effects.

A common goal: to target monoamines, neuromodulators

Generally speaking, these are molecules that target what are called #neurotransmitters, including serotonin, noradrenaline or dopamine. When a neurotransmitter attaches to receptors in one neuron, it transmits an electrical message that can be transmitted to another neuron. It's kind of like a relay race. There are over 20 different types of synapses, each of which conveys specific messages and are involved in this brain activity differently."
