extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

1. Treat your attention as a reward
Women will find you attractive and men will find you important if your attention is valuable & scarce.
2. Speak slowly, clearly, and mean every word:
You can't expect people to respect your thoughts & talks if they feel you're in a rush to express yourself or unsure of your opinions & beliefs.
3. Treat your promises as laws.
If you say you'll do something, do it.
When you follow this rule, people will hold on to everything you say & start trusting you blindly.
4. Engage only in discussions, never arguments:
Ever saw a great CEO get into an argument with his employees?
Ever saw the captain of a ship arguing with anyone else about the choices he's making?
A boss acts like a boss & 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 gets perceived as one.
5. Strike conversations with random people. Men and women.
If you want to be good at having conversations with women.. You must first be comfortable having conversations with everyone in general.
6. Never ask permission for being yourself:
And never sit with people who make it seem like you shouldn't be yourself or that you have to explain yourself.
Don't get trapped trying to prove yourself with incompatible people.
7. Never respond immediately to a request without making sure it works with your standards.
Just because someone asked you to do something, doesn't mean you have to do it.
Pause for a second to think about what it means to YOU
8. Never feel sorry for yourself, your past, or your circumstances.
As long as you're alive, you can get to work & improve.
Being sorry for yourself is a good way to overthink & remain stagnant.
9. Never get peer-pressured into doing things you don't want to do.
Whatever you end up doing is your fault and the consequences will always be for you to deal with.
Anything YOU do must first be accepted by you, before other people's approval.
10. Never take what people think of you personally or seriously, especially women.
Everyone will forget about you and move on to worry about their own shortcomings and insecurities.
Feel free to live life the way you want.
11. Never dwell on the past. Learn from it.
The past is always showing you tough love and telling you what not to do, for your own good.
All you have to do is stop mixing the past with the present & listen to the lessons learned.
12. Make your presence helpful, fun, & positive for others as long as it's appreciated.
You don't owe anyone your time & attention, but if they appreciate it & give something you appreciate back in return..
You're in the right relationship.
14. Network with valuable people by offering value first.
Valuable people are busy winning, so they don't have time to help you out for free.
Instead, use your time to make anything they do easier for them as a way to initiate a beneficial connection for you both.
15. Never allow criticism and negativity deter you from your path.
The more work you do, the more you separate yourself from average people, and the more criticism you'll get from them.
Be ready for useless feedback & stay focused on your grind.
16. Never stay exposed to weakness or weak people.
Even if you like certain weak people, spending too much time with them will subtly change your mindset & have you thinking like them.
17. Be realistic with the things you can change, not change, & influence to change.
Read this again.
18. Always be in a state of progression when it comes to your health, wealth, & relationships.
Track your progress every day too - that's how you build true confidence and competence.
19. Correct people who mislabel or mistreat you.
Other people are also watching.
If you don't correct a mistake, it will be repeated by someone else.
20. Never offer excuses. Only solutions:
You're a grown competent Man who is capable of carving your way out of problems & into opportunities.
Act like it.

“A neuromyth is a commonly accepted but unscientific claim about brain function. Many researchers have claimed Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences (MI) theory is a neuromyth because they have seen no evidence supporting his proposal for independent brain-based intelligences for different types of cognitive abilities. Although Gardner has made claims that there are dedicated neural networks or modules for each of the intelligences, nonetheless Gardner has stated his theory could not be a neuromyth because he never claimed it was a neurological theory. This paper explains the lack of evidence to support MI theory. Most important, no researcher has directly looked for a brain basis for the intelligences. Moreover, factor studies have not shown the intelligences to be independent, and studies of MI teaching effects have not explored alternate causes for positive effects and have not been conducted by standard scientific methods. Gardner’s MI theory was not a neuromyth initially because it was based on theories of the 1980s of brain modularity for cognition, and few researchers then were concerned by the lack of validating brain studies. However, in the past 40 years neuroscience research has shown that the brain is not organized in separate modules dedicated to specific forms of cognition. Despite the lack of empirical support for Gardner’s theory, MI teaching strategies are widely used in classrooms all over the world. Crucially, belief in MI and use of MI in the classroom limit the effort to find evidence-based teaching methods. Studies of possible interventions to try to change student and teacher belief in neuromyths are currently being undertaken. Intervention results are variable: One research group found that teachers who knew more about the brain still believed education neuromyths. Teachers need to learn to detect and reject neuromyths. Widespread belief in a neuromyth does not make a theory legitimate. Theories must be based on sound empirical evidence. It is now time for MI theory to be rejected, once and for all, and for educators to turn to evidence-based teaching strategies.”

"Lab Studies Show Dandelion Root Extract Destroys Cancer Cells
Dandelion root extract (DRE), a common herbal remedy, is gaining scientific attention for its potential anti-cancer properties.
Laboratory studies have shown DRE to be effective in inducing cancer cell death, slowing cell growth, and boosting the body's natural defenses against cancer in types like melanoma, leukemia, pancreatic, colon, and prostate cancers.
One 2016 study from a Canadian university reported DRE killed over 95% of colon cancer cells in a petri dish within 48 hours. More recent research has also suggested a powerful combination when DRE is used with lemongrass extract, particularly in targeting prostate cancer cells.
However, researchers caution that lab-based results don’t always translate to real-world outcomes.
Siyaram Pandey, a lead researcher, emphasized that while DRE’s effects in lab settings are promising, human trials are crucial to determine actual efficacy and safety. In animal studies, tumor size and weight decreased with DRE treatment, and early data suggests the extract may disrupt proteins that help cancer grow and spread.
Still, Pandey urges patients to consult their doctors before incorporating DRE into their treatment plans, as no herbal supplement should replace evidence-based medical care."

"Humans are incredibly sensitive to petrichor, the earthy scent that fills the air after rain thanks to a compound called geosmin.
In fact, we are about 200,000 times more sensitive to this smell than sharks are to the scent of blood in water.
While sharks are known for their powerful ability to detect blood from afar, it turns out our noses are far more finely tuned to this specific natural fragrance. We can detect geosmin at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion, making petrichor one of the most recognizable and emotionally evocative scents for humans.
It’s a fascinating reminder that even in a world of predators and heightened animal instincts, our senses have their own superpowers too.
This unique ability may have evolutionary roots, petrichor could signal the arrival of rain, crucial for survival in ancient times. The scent often evokes feelings of nostalgia and calm, linking memory and emotion.
Geosmin is produced by soil-dwelling bacteria, released when rain disturbs the ground. So, every time it rains, you're not just smelling water, you're sensing Earth’s microbial life in action."

"A groundbreaking study from Stockholm University, published in 2020 in the journal Scientific Reports, shows that the egg plays an active role in fertilization.
Instead of passively waiting, it releases chemical signals (chemoattractants) that attract certain sperm cells over others—even sometimes rejecting sperm from a genetically incompatible mate.
This discovery challenges the long-held notion that fertilization is simply about the fastest sperm.
It turns out, the egg can “choose” which sperm it prefers, likely based on genetic compatibility and chemical communication.
The egg’s chemoattractants can vary depending on the female, and even between eggs from the same female."

"Scientists have successfully reversed the aging process in mice using a groundbreaking technique that resets the biological clock in cells. Led by Dr. David Sinclair at Harvard Medical School, the team used gene therapy to deliver three Yamanaka factors—Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4—into aged mice. These reprogramming genes help return adult cells to a more youthful, stem-cell-like state. After treatment, the mice showed signs of rejuvenation, such as improved organ function, restored tissue structure, and a modest increase in lifespan.
The study is based on the idea that aging is partly caused by the loss of epigenetic information—chemical markers that guide how DNA is used without changing the DNA itself. In prior research, Sinclair’s team showed that damaging a mouse’s DNA speeds up aging, but reintroducing certain genes could reverse that damage.
What sets the 2025 study apart is that it was done on naturally aged mice, not genetically altered ones. This marks the first time scientists reversed aging throughout an entire, normal animal.
Even older mice, equivalent to 77-year-old humans, showed health improvements. While the lifespan gain was about 9%, the ability to broadly reverse signs of aging is a major breakthrough in aging research."
