I just realized while rewatching TLOK. The reason why Kuvira works as a villain in the series is because she doesn't care if it's a child or and adult. As long as that person's in her way of achieving her goal, she's willing to kill all for "the better good" and it's super scary. Just look at her face when she saw Meelo's face. She didn't care that child is a grandchild of an avatar. No privilege will save that kid from her

Ten core principles necessary for the remodeling of your brain to take place:

1. Change is mostly limited to those situations in which the brain is in the mood for it.

If you are alert, on the ball, engaged, motivated, ready for action, the brain releases the neurochemicals necessary to enable brain change. When disengaged, inattentive, distracted, or doing something without thinking that requires no real effort, your neuroplastic switches are “off.”

2. The harder you try, the more you’re motivated, the more alert you are, and the better (or worse) the potential outcome, the bigger the brain change.

If you’re intensely focused on the task and really trying to master something for an important reason, the change experienced will be greater.

3. What actually changes in the brain are the strengths of the connections of neurons that are engaged together, moment by moment, in time.

The more something is practiced, the more connections are changed and made to include all elements of the experience (sensory info, movement, cognitive patterns). You can think of it like a “master controller” being formed for that particular behavior which allows it to be performed with remarkable facility and reliability over time.

4. Learning-driven changes in connections increase cell-to-cell cooperation which is crucial for increasing reliability.

Merzenich explains this by asking you to imagine the sound of a football stadium full of fans all clapping at random versus the same people clapping in unison. He explains, “The more powerfully coordinated your [nerve cell] teams are, the more powerful and more reliable their behavioral productions.”

5. The brain also strengthens its connections between teams of neurons representing separate moments of successive things that reliably occur in serial time.

This allows your brain to predict what happens next and have a continuous “associative flow.” Without this ability, your stream of consciousness would be reduced to “a series of separate, stagnating puddles,” explains Merzenich.

6. Initial changes are temporary.

Your brain first records the change, then determines whether it should make the change permanent or not. It only becomes permanent if your brain judges the experience to be fascinating or novel enough or if the behavioral outcome is important, good or bad.

7. The brain is changed by internal mental rehearsal in the same ways and involving precisely the same processes that control changes achieved through interactions with the external world.

According to Merzenich, “You don’t have to move an inch to drive positive plastic change in your brain. Your internal representations of things recalled from memory work just fine for progressive brain plasticity-based learning.”

8. Memory guides and controls most learning.

As you learn a new skill, your brain takes note of and remembers the good attempts, while discarding the not-so-good trys. Then, it recalls the last good pass, makes incremental adjustments, and progressively improves.

9. Every movement of learning provides a moment of opportunity for the brain to stabilize – and reduce the disruptive power of – potentially interfering backgrounds or “noise.”

Each time your brain strengthens a connection to advance your mastery of a skill, it also weakens other connections of neurons that weren’t used at that precise moment. This negative plastic brain change erases some of the irrelevant or interfering activity in the brain.

10. Brain plasticity is a two-way street; it is just as easy to generate negative changes as it is positive ones.

You have a “use it or lose it” brain. It’s almost as easy to drive changes that impair memory and physical and mental abilities as it is to improve these things. Merzenich says that older people are absolute masters at encouraging plastic brain change in the wrong direction.

MYSTERIOUS TINY ROOMS BY MARC GIAI-MINIET

French artist Marc Giai-Miniet (Born in 1946 in Trappes) makes some of the most incredibly detailed (and disturbing!) dollhouses that we’ve ever seen. Marc started creating these disturbing shadowbox dioramas rather late in his career, recurring themes include libraries, furnaces, laboratories, submarines and intestine-like tubing in lonely, decaying spaces.

Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction

The ball (also a magnet) is falling quite a bit slower than expected (despite the slow motion). This can be attributed to Faraday’s Law:

When a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field there is a current created within the conductor. Or more technically a magnetic flux changing over time produces an electromotive force across a conductor.

That’s not the whole explanation though…

Lenz’s Law

When the magnet is falling the current in the cylinder is producing a magnetic field as well. Lenz’s Law states:

 The induced current will produce a new magnetic field that will oppose the change in magnetic flux.

The produced field applies a force to the magnet resisting its fall. If the tube is long enough the magnet will reach a constant velocity because the magnetic force and weight will cancel each other out (no net force).

This works like air resistance on a falling object. Eventually the resistance completely counters the gravitational acceleration of the object.

Faraday’s and Lenz’s Laws basically tell us that the faster the magnet moves the more the conductor (tube) will resist the magnet’s fall.

Watch this Veritasium video on the same concept and see this phenomenon in real time.

Just a random thought

You die and then you go to heaven. But instead of seeing white wearing angels, it full of people waering black, nails painted black, eyes have dark circles around it because of eyeliners and they play rock/goth/emo music instead of the angelic music you thought.
