Much simpler by deeper understanding actin networks root cause of the new science paradigm of the system of 'Life as Information'. Electromagnetic communication of quantum packets of information explains mind reading. Hopefully reading my comprehensive science synthesis 'Cracking Nature's Code' will help science to wise up to monumental potential.

"At stake are numerous fields of science, engineering, and everyday life that fall roughly into at least three categories. (1) Basic science, and a search for the most unified (parsimonious) framework with which to understand mind, its relationship to bodies, its evolutionary origins, and the space of possible beings (Sloman, 1984). (2) Biomedicine and engineering, which seek frameworks for identifying the most efficient set of approaches, ranging from direct engineering to tools from behavioral science, to optimally repair, modify, and create systems like complex bodies, synthetic biobots, and traditional robotics (Pezzulo and Levin, 2015; Davies and Levin, 2023). (3) Ethics, which must mature, so as to do away with distinctions not based on scientific natural kinds, and provide ways for individuals and societies to rationally and compassionately relate to beings that may not look familiar or recognizable by widespread ethical frame-works first developed in prescientific ages" https://lnkd.in/eitzgzvu

If you don't take a break Your brain will take one for you Ever found yourself mindlessly scrolling? Ever found yourself staring off into space? Ever found yourself zoning out in conversation? For creatives, breaks are necessary for recharging But they are also necessary for focus They are needed for your best work Needed for your best ideas Needed for placement Normally, I don't eat lunch Yesterday, I took a lunch break I came back to my desk with an idea My mind has been spinning about it every since. I would not have given my head space for that idea If I had not taken time for a good lunch (A lunch that didn't involve pizza.) A break is not a sign of weakness A break is a sign of strength When you know what's best for you You can do your best #writer #creativeideas #creativitymatters #takeabreak #storyteller
Grinding away without a break feels virtuous. But it's not effective. NIH research: To master a new skill, incorporating short breaks into learning is as important as practicing. https://lnkd.in/eSB5NXeA

Intermissions are important. May I suggest, vital.

Over the Christmas break, I had a full 10 days off without any 'work' learning. Usually on holidays, I'm reading some sort of behavior change, psychology, or business book. Now I'm back, I feel refreshed and ready to learn more! #brainbreak #learning #restandrecharge #restandrelaxation #growthmindset #learningscience

Maximizing efficiency and learning may look different than what we have been trained to think.

Free Agents by Kevin J. Mitchell is out today! Grab your copy and learn about the evolutionary case for the existence of #freewill. Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion. In Free Agents, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence to the contrary, arguing that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces but agents acting with purpose. An astonishing journey of discovery, Free Agents offers a new framework for understanding how, across a billion years of Earth history, life evolved the power to choose, and why it matters. https://hubs.ly/Q021Ht2y0
