Bonilla a La Vista are, in my opinion, far better. That said, the Torres chips are also very good. I recommend trying the Manchego-flavored ones.

After months of reading only non-fiction, I decided to take a break and enjoy this quick read during a brief escape to Maine! It offers a fascinating history inspired by the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and also highlights aviation, which made it even better!

What do #Quantum #Physics, seemingly random chance events, a fascinating new perspective on the brain-mind relationship, and the experiences of clinically hypnotized individuals who have progressed to future lives have in common?
More than one might expect...

An interesting and thought-provoking article about the evolution of the brain, its size, and the theories on why it began to shrink millennia ago—possibly triggered by social and “technological” advances.

Why did humans evolve big brains? A new idea bodes ill for our future
Recent fossil finds suggest that big brains weren't an evolutionary asset to our ancestors but evolved by accident – and are likely to shrink again in the near future

As Zhenghao Liu puts it, “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than many of us thought. It could be that, even 100 years after its discovery, we are still only seeing the tip of the iceberg.”

Experiment with 37 dimensions shows how strange quantum physics can be
A search for particles’ most paradoxical quantum states led researchers to construct a 37-dimensional experiment

That should be the goal. Of course, you’ll still see posts from the accounts you follow regardless of their language. However, on other feeds like “Discover”, posts should align with your language preferences.

Happy to finally have this book in hand! I had to order it twice since the first copy got lost in the mail... or maybe it never collapsed into particle form and remained in its wave state instead...

Here are some books I’ve recently read. Whatever your thoughts, beliefs, or points of view, the ideas in these books will force you to reflect on and reconsider many pre-established notions. Definitely worth reading!

I just finished reading The Circadian Code by Dr Satchin Panda. It's a must-read for anyone interested in optimizing how their body and brain function! Key takeaways include the importance of proper sleep, light exposure, time-restricted eating, and physical activity.

I just finished 'The Self-Aware Universe' by Amit Goswami, Ph.D. It's truly fascinating, exploring quantum mechanics, consciousness, and the relationship between our brain and mind. This thought-provoking read posits consciousness as the primary element in understanding the universe.

Over the past couple of months, I've been immersing myself in the work of Dr Joe Dispenza. It's been both a thought-provoking and an eye-opening journey. I would strongly recommend everyone give it a try. The benefits you can get from it are worth your time!

Consequently, a lack of novelty in our lives can lead to a hardwired connection to our own thoughts. This makes embracing change very challenging. (2/2)

When we consistently expose ourselves to the same environment and daily stimuli over extended periods, our brains rely on familiar neural pathways established from past experiences. This reinforcement strengthens existing associative networks, anchoring us to habitual thought patterns. (1/2)

Nowadays, it seems that we frequently find ourselves consumed by material possessions. These possessions or external events serve to strengthen the ego, relying on the surroundings to reaffirm one's identity. To evolve, it is crucial to disrupt this cycle.

We constantly find ourselves bound by self-imposed limitations, believing that external factors are necessary to transform our internal state. This is exemplified by advertising, where an ongoing reliance on and consumption of external stimuli is promoted as the key to happiness and improvement.
