pnas.org - Dynamic neural activity during stress signals resilient coping

"Consistent with this finding, greater neural flexibility signals in the VmPFC
during stress correlated with active coping ratings whereas lower dynamic
activity in the VmPFC also predicted a higher level of maladaptive coping
behaviors in real life, including binge alcohol intake, emotional eating, and
frequency of arguments and fights."

quartz - A philosopher's 350-year-old trick to get people to change
their minds is now backed up by psychologists


"When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he
errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side
it is usually true, and admit that truth to him, but reveal to him the side
on which it is false. He is satisfied with that, for he sees that he was not
mistaken, and that he only failed to see all sides. Now, no one is offended
at not seeing everything; but one does not like to be mistaken, and that
perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and
that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of
our senses are always true."

r - TIL that possibly the world's oldest surviving written text (around
4500-years old), known as the 'Instructions of Shuruppak', gives the
following advice - "Do not pass judgment when you drink beer."


"In those days, in those far remote days, in those nights, in those faraway
nights, in those years, in those far remote years, at that time the wise one
who knew how to speak in elaborate words lived in the Land; Curuppag, the
wise one, who knew how to speak with elaborate words lived in the Land.
Curuppag gave instructions to his son; Curuppag, the son of Ubara-Tutu gave
instructions to his son Zi-ud-sura: My son, let me give you instructions: you
should pay attention! Zi-ud-sura, let me speak a word to you: you should
pay attention! Do not neglect my instructions!"

This Simple Habit


"Now, studies show that there is something you can do to dramatically improve
your fluid intelligence as well as overall IQ: meditate.

Dr. Othmer, former President of the Neurofeedback Division of the Association
for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, conducted neurofeedback

on). Those who meditated showed an average gain in IQ of 23%."

How to Get Your Mind to Read

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/25/opinion/sunday/how-to-get-your-mind-to-read.html

Just how bad is our reading problem? The last National Assessment of Adult Literacy from 2003 is a bit dated, but it offers a picture of Americans' ability to read in everyday situations: using an almanac to find a particular fact, for example, or explaining the meaning of a metaphor used in a story. Of those who finished high school but did not continue their education, 13 percent could not perform simple tasks like these. When things got more complex - in comparing two newspaper editorials with different interpretations of scientific evidence or examining a table to evaluate credit card offers - 95 percent failed.

Science - The lower your social class, the 'wiser' you are, suggests new study

"The answer is that raw intelligence doesn't reduce conflict, he asserts. Wisdom
does. Such wisdom -- in effect, the ability to take the perspectives of others
into account and aim for compromise -- comes much more naturally to those
who grow up poor or working class, according to a new study by Grossman and
colleagues."

theatlantic - Trump's Soviet Approach to Intelligence

"For a good portion of the past 80 years, Soviet and Russian intelligence
collection and subversion efforts were superior to those of the U.S. In the
early years of the Cold War, the Soviets had infiltrated almost every critical
institution in the U.S. and Europe, while we didn't have a single agent in
Moscow. In the 1930s and '40s, they penetrated our most secret national
enterprise, the atomic program, so effectively that they could cross-check
the reporting of their various sources. The Soviets knew more about the
Manhattan Project than the vice president.

At the same time, however, they often failed to take advantage of their
superior position due to an inability to analyze, interpret, and above all
believe what they collected. The insular and untraveled Soviet leaders relied
on subterfuge, lies, and assassination to make it to the top, and could not
shed their conspiratorial delusions once they arrived. They used intelligence
to reinforce, not correct their misconceptions of the outside world. Although
they exploited stolen scientific information effectively - they developed an
atomic bomb - they often disregarded political realities."

Y - The CIA's communications suffered a catastrophic compromise.
It started in Iran.


"In 2013, hundreds of CIA officers scrambled to contain a disaster of global
proportions: a compromise of the agency's internet-based covert communi-
cations system used to interact with its informants in dark corners around
the world. Teams of CIA experts worked feverishly to take down and recon-
figure the websites secretly used for these communications; others managed
operations to quickly spirit assets to safety and oversaw other forms of triage."
