"To the brain, information is its own reward, above and beyond whether it’s useful,” co-author of the study and associate professor Ming Hsu, Ph.D. told Neuroscience News. “And just as our brains like empty calories from junk food, they can overvalue information that makes us feel good but may not be useful—what some may call idle curiosity.”

However, knowledge usually becomes useful when it’s put into context. While many think that learning cool and interesting facts is a waste of time, it’s quite the opposite. Sure, you can find out everything you need with just a few searches and clicks on hyperlinks but it won't do any good to your critical thinking skills.

ADVERTISEMENT

Scott H. Young, author of Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition, wrote that factual knowledge determines the speed you can acquire new knowledge on a topic. "The more you know, the faster you learn." It also is an important driver of our reading comprehension and other high-level skills, for example problem-solving. When you’re reading a book, it’s much easier to understand the deeper meaning if you’re already familiar with the topic.

"You can’t reason critically or creatively without first having amassed a large amount of factual knowledge," Young explained. "This is why the existence of Google and Wikipedia doesn’t reduce the need to learn facts. Something being a Google search away doesn’t mean it’s available in the background to allow you to parse new information easily."

ADVERTISEMENT

If you find yourself wanting to expand your mental horizons, the Wall Street Journal bestselling author suggested to simply be curious. By reading more articles and books, and by watching a variety of shows or movies, you always surround yourself with new knowledge. If it's hard to understand everything at first, don’t be discouraged and try to look it up.

Young advised not to be afraid of topics that are new to you: "Knowledge is exponential, so if you’re not used to reading something, you’ll learn a bit less. However, as you read more about it, you can read faster and smarter." So picking up a book that might be "above your level" could take longer but will get easier with time.

Just remember, we are the ones using the newly learned facts and putting them into context. So if you’re wondering whether you’re ever going to use this stuff, one day you actually might. Sometimes, our brains are capable of the most wonderful things, and bringing two completely unrelated ideas into one is certainly one of them.

🌳 Norway Is The First Country In The World To Commit To No Longer Using Any Products That Contribute To Deforestation.⁠ that’s Pretty Remarkable, Because While During The Last Few Years A Number Of Companies Have Stopped Working With Goods That Can Be Linked To The Destruction Of Rain Forests, Such An Action Has Not Been Matched By Governments.⁠ a Little More Than Five Years Ago, At The United Nations Climate Summit 2014 Held In New York, The Norwegian Government Made A Pledge With Germany And The United Kingdom That It Would “Promote National Commitments That Encourage Deforestation-Free Supply Chains, Including Through Public Procurement Policies To Sustainably Source Commodities Such As Palm Oil, Soy, Beef And Timber.” ⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🇳🇴 In 2016, The Norwegian Government Made Good On That Promise By Officially Declaring That The Government’s Public Procurement Policy Will Become Deforestation-Free. In Other Words, The Norwegians Will Not Award Any Of Its Government Contracts To Companies That Take Part In Clear-Cutting.⁠ this Isn’t The First Time That Norway Has Put Into Practice “Speaking For The Trees.” The Act Of Banning Deforestation From The Supply Chain Only Continues The Country’s Long-Standing History Of Protecting The World’s Vital Forests.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

This is misleading. There is still deforestation here in Norway. What we have done is make supply chains deforestation-free. So e.g. no government contracts are awarded to companies that take part in deforestation. Still, a good measure! 🙂

Their Brains Turned Out To Have A Much Higher Volume Of Fibers Connecting Their Auditory Cortex To The Areas That Process Emotion.⁠ more Fibers Mean That Those Two Areas Of The Brain Can Communicate Much More Effectively.

My kid goes to a Montessori school where students clean up everyday. I think it's a good idea - helps kids feel responsible for their school, which helps them become responsible citizens.

🚭 The Plans Include The Gradual Increase Of The Legal Smoking Age, Which Could Extend To A Ban On The Sale Of Cigarettes And Tobacco Products To Anyone Born After 2004, Making Smoking Effectively Illegal For That Generation.⁠ also Under Consideration Was A Significant Reduction In The Level Of Nicotine Allowed In Tobacco Products, Prohibiting Filters, Setting A Minimum Price For Tobacco, And Restricting The Locations Where Tobacco And Cigarettes Can Be Sold.⁠ “We Need A New Approach,” Associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall Said, Announcing The Changes. “About 4,500 New Zealanders Die Every Year From Tobacco, And We Need To Make Accelerated Progress To Be Able To Reach That Goal [of Smokefree 2025]. Business-As-Usual Without A Tobacco Control Program Won’t Get Us There.”⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🇳🇿 The Proposals Were Welcomed By A Number Of Public Health Organizations. “This Proposal Goes Beyond Assisting People To Quit,” Cancer Society Chief Executive Lucy Elwood Said In A Statement. She Noted That The Number Of Tobacco Retailers Was Four Times Higher In Low-Income Communities, Where Smoking Rates Were Highest.⁠ “These Glaring Inequities Are Why We Need To Protect Future Generations From The Harms Of Tobacco,” Elwood Said. “Tobacco Is The Most Harmful Consumer Product In History And Needs To Be Phased Out.”⁠ shane Kawenata Bradbrook, A Long- Term Advocate For Smoke-Free Māori Communities, Said:⁠ “For Too Long The Tobacco Industry Has Been Addicting Our People, Fleecing Them Of Their Money Before We Have To Bury Them In Urupa [burial Grounds] All Over This Land. I Am Looking Forward To Truly Making This A Sunset Industry In This Corner Of The World.”⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

I'm always torn when it comes to things like this. On the one hand, I don't feel like the government should tell us "you can't do that because it isn't good for you". Your not my mom, back off. Sugar isn't good for me either. The last person I dated wasn't good for me. On the other hand, I'm all for the government telling us it's the law to wear a seatbelt, or that my doctor can't smoke crack before he operates on me. And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why I am not a politician. Glad I'm not the one who has to make the decisions on these kinds of things!

💰 The Question That Carpenter Seemed To Be Struggling On Was “Which Of These U.S. Presidents Appeared On The Television Series ‘Laugh-In’?” His Choices Were Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, And Gerald Ford.⁠ “Um,” Carpenter Said. “I’d Like To Call My Parents Right Now, Use My Lifeline.”⁠ ⁠ 💸 The Show Called His Father And Philbin Explained The Situation To Carpenter’s Dad. But, When Carpenter Got On The Line, He Didn’t Actually Ask His Dad For Help.⁠ “Hi, Dad,” Carpenter Said. “I Don’t Really Need Your Help. I Just Wanted To Let You Know That I’m Gonna Win The Million Dollars. The U.S. President Who Appeared On ‘Laugh-In’ Was Richard Nixon, That’s My Final Answer.”⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

🇩🇪 When Fuggerei Was Established By A Wealthy Banker, Jakob Fugger The Rich, In 1520, He Intended For It To Become A Housing Complex Open To The Needy And Poor Living Nearby In Augsburg, Germany. That Tradition Continues Today, With The Only Other Requirements For Living In The Complex Being A Demonstrated Faith In The Catholic Church, And A Proven Residency In Augsburg For At Least Two Years.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 💸 Jakob The Rich Set Up A Charitable Trust In Order To Bankroll The Fuggerei, A Trust That Still Finances The Village. Although, The Wall Street Journal Notes It Only Sees Returns Of About 0.5% To 2% Each Year. Tourists Also Bring In Some Money For The Village, As Visitors Are Welcome To Tour The Neighborhood For Themselves With The Purchase Of A €4 Euro Ticket, As Long As They Demonstrate Respect For The Town And Its Residents. ⁠ and Although Visitors Are Not Allowed To Enter Any Of The 50- To 700-Square-Foot Residences Currently Occupied, The Fuggerei Maintains A Model Unit So Visitors Can Get A Feel For The Homes That Have Provided Solace For 495 Years.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

👀 A Team Of Researchers, LED By Ulrike Willinger At The Medical University Of Vienna, Asked 156 People, Who Had An Average Age Of 33 And Included 76 Women, To Rate Their Comprehension And Enjoyment Of 12 Darkly Humorous Cartoons Taken From 'The Black Book' By The Renowned German Cartoonist Uli Stein.⁠ examples Include A Cartoon Depicting A Morgue Where A Physician Lifts A Cover Sheet Off A Body. A Woman Confirms: “Sure, That’s My Husband – Anyway, Which Washing Powder Did You Use To Get That So White?” Participants Were Also Tested For Verbal And Non-Verbal Iq And Asked About Their Mood, Aggression And Educational Background.⁠ the British Psychological Society Research Digest Blog Reports That The Study Found Three Groups Of Participants. The Group With The Highest Sick Humor Appreciation And Comprehension Scored The Highest In Verbal And Non-Verbal Iq Tests, Were Better Educated, And Scored Lower For Aggression And Bad Mood.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🤓 A Second Group Showed Moderate Comprehension Of The Jokes But Enjoyed Them The Least. These Were People With Average Intelligence Scores, But Had The Highest Negative Mood And The Highest Aggression Levels.⁠ the Third Group Showed Moderate Sick Humor Comprehension And Preference, Had Average Intelligence Scores, But Were Generally Of A Positive Mood And Had Moderate Aggression Scores.⁠ the Findings Contradict Earlier Theories About The Relationship Between Aggression And Humor. As Early As 1905, Freud Hypothesized That Humor Allows For A Safe Release Of Usually Repressed Sexual And Aggressive Urges.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

Researchers Have Been Listening To Recordings Of A Particular Blue Whale 🐋 Who Has Been Roaming The Waters Of The Northern Pacific Ocean For Over 20 Years. It Is Referred To As "Lonely" Because This Whale Sings At The Abnormally High Tone Of 52 Hz And Is Unable To Communicate With Other Blue Whales Higher Who Sing In The Range Of 10 - 40 Hz. Aww! 😢 🐳 🎵 📷 Danny Kessler #whale #lonely #nature

Due to some reason, this whale's singing voice has a higher pitch than they normally do. Normal frequencies range from 10 to 40 Hz, this particular whale sings at some 50-odd Hz, which is why other whales either can't hear them or don't recognise it as whale sounds. What a poor lad :(

The song "whalien 52" by BTS uses the story of this very whale as a metaphor for loneliness. This whale emits a frequency of 52Hz which cannot be heard by other whales but it still keeps on singing. BTS used this story to convey how you may feel unheard and invisible even though you are surrounded by people. The lyrics also say 'lonely whale, let us try singing the song once more in hope that someone will hear you. ' The story is incredibly sad and the lyricism is commendable. For a more detailed breakdown of the song and how it tells this story, you can visit this link:- https://aminoapps.com/c/btsarmy/page/blog/whalien-52-the-story-behind-it/8BDw_xBLCmu2NgM2wXbzJ07qzQ2E3oBqmz4

Music could always be piped in a gentle hand that could reach out. I know it's not the same. But maybe she's not as lonely you think. She does what she wants, sing her songs and not have to shave above the knee or worry about drinking our of the milk Carton. Elayne Blosler made a believer put of me.

🕸️ In The Dvd Commentary Of 'Spider-Man,' John Dykstra – Head Of The Vfx Team For The Film – Shared That There Were No Special Effects Involved In Peter Catching The Food, And It Was All Tobey Maguire’s Work – And It Only Took 156 Takes. Kirsten Dunst Confirmed This And Added That They Used Sticky Glue So Tobey’s Hand Would Stick To The Tray And He Could Catch The Items Without A Problem. Of Course, Things Like The Jell-O And The Sandwiches Were Glued To Their Plates, So All Tobey Had To Do Was Catch Them All, Which Is Obviously Easier Said Than Done. ⁠ ⁠ surprisingly, Sony Wanted To Cut The Scene, But Changed Their Mind After Raimi Insisted On Keeping It, As It Required A 16 Hour-Day Of Shooting. In The End, Peter Catching Mj’s Lunch Became One Of The Most Memorable Scenes From 'Spider-Man,' And Will Go Down In Superhero History As A Truly Iconic Move From Tobey Maguire.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

😲 The Face Spoke At More Length With Angelina Jolie About The Incident And Why She Felt Compelled To Hire A Hitman To Carry Out Her Death. “They’re Not That Hard To Find In New York,” She Responded. “As Insane As It Sounds, I Think A Lot Of People Consider Suicide When They’re Young,” Jolie Admitted.⁠ “I Was Very Aware That So Many People Around Me, Like My Mother, Would Feel As Though They Didn’t Give Enough Or Do Enough, If I’d Taken My Own Life,” Jolie Continued. “So My Solution To That Was If Someone Else Had Taken My Life – Like In A ‘Robbery’ – Then It Would Be Murder And It Wouldn’t Be That Anyone Would Feel They’d Let Me Down.”⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🧐 Jolie Even Got As Far As Hiring The Contract Killer And Planned To “Take Out Cash Over A Certain Amount Of Time, So There Wasn’t A Big Chunk In My Bank Account” To The Killer. However, Remarkably, It Wasn’t Jolie Who Had A Change Of Heart, But The Hitman Persuaded Her To Carry On Living.⁠ “He Was A Decent Enough Person And Asked If I Could Think About It And Call Him Again In Two Months,” She Explained. “Something Changed In My Life And I Figured I’d Stick It Out.”⁠ as Bizarre As It Sounds, We’ve Got A Hitman With A Conscience To Thank For Jolie Being Here Today. Her Mental Health Troubles Didn’t End That Day, Jolie Would Suffer A Nervous Breakdown At 24, But Once She Had Her First Child, She Got That Stability In Her Life That She Always Craved.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

🐶 According To Researchers, “Dogs Smell Time.”⁠ ⁠ their Powerful Noses Allow Them To Perceive The Passage Of Time. This Is Not Mystical Or Other Worldly. It’s Just That Dogs Can Understand Much About The Past Because Of The Extreme Sensitivity Of Their Noses.⁠ odors Change Over Time, Sometimes Predictably. When You Leave The House To Go To Work Each Day, The Smell Of You In The House Decreases With Each Hour Of Your Absence, And Your Dog Can Detect The Difference. Perhaps Your Dog Has Learned Through Repetition That When The Smell Of You Has Weakened To A Specific Degree, You Come Home. In Other Words, The Strength Of Your Odor Predicts The Time Of Your Return.⁠ ⁠ this Degree Of Scent Discrimination Is Not Hard For Most Dogs. Many Dogs Can, For Example, Tell Which Way To Follow A Scent Trail By Heading From Where It Is Weakest (Oldest) To Where It Is Strongest (Most Recent) When The Difference Is Miniscule. Stronger Odors Are Often Newer And Weaker Ones Are Older. That Means That When Dogs Smell Weak Odors, They Are Perceiving Events Of The Past. Because Dogs Can Detect Both New And Old Odors, They Are Perceiving Events And Substances Across Intervals Of Time.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🐕 Each Day, Even In The Same Place, Smells Help Dogs Understand The Passage Of Time. As Air Heats Up Over The Course Of The Day, Air Currents Change And Move Around In Space, Taking The Molecules Responsible For Odors With Them. Dogs, With Their Sensitive Noses And Large Olfactory Lobes Are Able To Sense The Movement And Presence Of Chemicals People Barely Sense If At All.⁠ though We Humans May Detect Daily Patterns In Light Or Even Sound, Our Ability To Smell Clues About The Passage Of Time, Is Barely Worth A Mention. Yet, Dogs Detect Odors That Reveal Past Happenings To Them In Complex Ways We Are Only Beginning To Understand.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

👩🏻‍🔬 Chinese Scientists Studied 57 Drinks—ranging From Herbal Teas To Sodas—and Found The Best Way To Ease Hangover Symptoms May Be Sprite.⁠ ⁠ 🎓 When We Drink, Our Livers Release Alcohol Dehydrogenase (Adh), An Enzyme That Breaks Down The Ethanol In Alcohol Into A Chemical Called Acetaldehyde. That Way, Less Alcohol Enters The Bloodstream. It’s Then Broken Down Into Acetate By Another Enzyme Called Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (Aldh), According To Researchers At Sun Yat-Sen University In Guangzhou.⁠ ⁠ the Researchers Found That Sprite Was One Of The Top Drinks That Sped Up The Aldh Process, Causing The Alcohol To Be Broken Down More Quickly And Shortening How Long The Hangover Lasts.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗

Not sure thats a great idea. Acting is more than just the words and voice. Its the interpretation of the character, and choice of how to express that. Theres something unsettling about this person being attributed acting decisions that weren't his, post death.

Employees Have To Keep Their Managers In The Loop, And They’re Expected To Perform At A Very High Level.

⚛️ Sir Isaac Newton Was An English Mathematician And Physicist Who Lived From 1642-1727.⁠ the Legend Is That Newton Discovered Gravity When He Saw A Falling Apple While Thinking About The Forces Of Nature. Whatever Really Happened, Newton Realized That Some Force Must Be Acting On Falling Objects Like Apples Because Otherwise They Would Not Start Moving From Rest. Newton Also Realized That The Moon Would Fly Off Away From Earth In A Straight Line Tangent To Its Orbit If Some Force Was Not Causing It To Fall Toward The Earth. The Moon Is Only A Projectile Circling Around The Earth Under The Attraction Of Gravity.⁠ newton Called This Force "Gravity" And Determined That Gravitational Forces Exist Between All Objects.⁠ using The Idea Of Gravity, Newton Was Able To Explain The Astronomical Observations Of Kepler.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🔭 The Work Of Galileo, Brahe, Kepler, And Newton Proved Once And For All That The Earth Wasn't The Center Of The Solar System. The Earth, Along With All Other Planets, Orbits Around The Sun.⁠ two Astronomers, J.c. Adams And U.j.j. Leverrier, Later Used The Concept Of Gravity To Predict That The Planet Neptune Would Be Discovered. They Realized That There Must Be Another Planet Exerting A Gravitational Force On Uranus Because Uranus Had Odd Perturbations In Its Orbit (Perturbations Are Deviations In Orbits).⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ source: Link In Our Bio. 🔗
