    50% of Harvard Students Can't Solve This Simple Riddle


    Riddle me this, riddle me that! Social media is littered with conundrums to knock your brain flat! “Only a genius can solve this” and so on are constant memes many of us see on our news feeds, but below is a brain teaser that even half of Harvard students cannot solve. The puzzle is as follows:

    “A bat and ball costs $1.10.

    The bat costs one dollar more than the ball.

    How much does the ball cost?”

    The knee jerk response is to reply that the ball costs 10 cents. However, the answer is that the ball costs 5 cents. The answer is exemplifies a process called “The Cognitive Reflection Test.” In a related You Tube video by Yale Professor, Shane Frederick, Cognitive Reflection is explained as a way to exploit a division in our natural methods of thinking. Our thoughts are divided into two systems, system 1 thinking denotes the kind of rumination based on instinct and assumption and the kind of thought that leads many minds to jump to the conclusion that the ball is 10 cents, with the bat $1 more, at $1. Although system 2 prompts the brain to adopt a more analytical thinking approach and glean the right answer: that the ball is 5 cents and the $1.05 bat is a dollar extra than the ball.

    Professor Frederick maintains that more system 2 type thinking can easily be adapted and tests back up his assertion. By utilizing a simple change, such as altering the size and font of text to a more difficult one, it forces the brain into a more analytical mode and doing so increases student marks greatly. The practice also helps with proofreading, because needing to concentrate more on a harder to read font, allows readers to ferret out more mistakes. So next time you need to do some revision, perhaps copy and paste your source and change the size and font, you may get an A by looking at a differently shaped letter A."

    Question


    Sylvie’ Ivanowa | Mysterious Megaliths & Hidden History

    From TheHighersideChats


    Join The Higherside Chats podcast as host Greg Carlwood talks mysterious megaliths and hidden history with returning guest, Sylvie' Ivanowa.

    We know the parasites of the Vatican and the Holy Roman Empire are responsible for quite a few crimes against humanity, but one of the most interesting manipulations that has been suggested is the vast alteration of the human timeline. It seems a very good case can be made that during the Reformation period of the 1500's a campaign was launched to install new royals across Europe and restructure history to justify their rule, and obscure a past that wasn't under their control.

    As far fetched as it might sound, the facts remain that most of our official chronology was written by a handful of Jesuit monks and in the introductions of their own work, they fully admit to "translating, recording, and correcting" the documents they synthesized before the convenient destruction of the source material. So do we just blindly trust these deceptive authorities or do we work to undo the damage and reexamine the human story with what little we do have?

    Well, that has been the noble goal of today's returning guest, Sylvie' Ivanowa- who has been examining the world's megaliths and ancient ruins to try and reconstruct picture of the past that gets closer to the truth and allows us to rely on what we can see with our own eyes rather than what's written in the corrupted history books.

    Yesterday i was out and about going to the eye specialist having my vision check. For years i've struggled with glaucoma, and lately it has progressively been getting worst ... Note i live fairly close to the eye clinic, so i walked to and fro ... And upon leaving my doctors office with my eyes fully dilated, noticing it was now quite sunny out with the glare of snow and lots of ice on the ground ... Walking home became a very surreal experience for me ... It was like everything was upside down ... I truly felt myself feeling old and vulnerable.
    It was quite humbling ...

    It all reminded me of this song ...

    HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis (creator of "Century of the Self"). The film was released on 16 October 2016 on the BBC iPlayer.[2] In the film, Curtis argues that since the 1970s, governments, financiers, and technological utopians have given up on the complex "real world" and built a simple "fake world" that is run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation
    (A review from Reddit)

    This movie is about post-politics, or a new way of ruling where politics just simply means how do you most efficiently run the economic and political system, and less about debating ideas and having real citizen involvement. This new method of governing has many "wings" associated with it
    One wing of this has existed since the 1980's when US politicians have used theatricality over facts in getting themselves elected and when they would describe complicated problems to the American people in misrepresentations and downright lies. Curtis uses the US' relation to Syria and Libya as a case study.
    Another wing of this has to do with financialization, when city governments just surrendered their power to bankers as bankers just straight up fund the cities now.
    Another wing is the development of computers and big data to try to predict the future, and astonishingly there's a computer called Aladdin that tries to safeguard investments from bad trends in the world and it manages 15 trillion dollars, 7% of the world's economic output.
    Also there's a new method of public relations pioneered in Russia under Vladimir Putin where the story the media tells is always one step behind the actors, and the ones in power guide the story along by feeding this group here some money, and then a group there some money, and then declaring that they were the ones who were behind the trend, which just confuses the hell out of everybody and makes the scenario very hard to grasp.
    All of this deception creates working class anger at home and Muslim anger abroad, and makes people so confused that they don't know what's real any more and this stumps people from acting politically. To use more metaphorical language, the deceptions of the past 40 years stack on top of each other, congealing together, making it very hard for anyone to trust any information really. And because the past 40 years have been just a stack of lies, it makes room for people like Trump who know that the people's anger is certainly real but know that they don't know where to direct that anger.
