The below post (it’s a thread actually) has been trending on my Twitter timeline and I do find it really intriguing.
I wonder how a graph like this would look for India! What do you think explains this global trend anyway?
Here is one explanation (not from me):
Boys and girls used to hang out together more. The girls made the boys more liberal and the boys made the girls more conservative. But now the boys are at home playing shooter games, and the girls are at home posting on Instagram.
Alright now onto the other two things…
Thing 1
A simple hack to make “reminders” for habit-change work for you
In the above video, I share findings from a recent research paper (2023) published in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research by a bunch of authors from different universities - including that from the Yale School of Management.
They studied what works and what doesn’t, when we try to set up “reminders” to alter our behvaiour. I hope that you get to learn a thing or two.
Thing 2
Curious about Quantum Computing?
I think I have stumbled upon a great free resource cum online book to learn about the basics of what quantum computing is. An interesting thing about how the info is presented here (just check out the link) is in the gamification approach:
there are quizzes integrated in a way that makes you actually remember what you read (something that often doesn’t happen with reading a serious non-fiction - we keep forgetting what we learnt)
you can see how your learning is going up (as you continue to read) along with an estimated avg time (in weeks) it may take for you to truly grasp what is being explained
Alright, so now you are aware of the growing divide in ideology between men and women. Plus, two more things. May you get to do more of what brings you joy and less of what sucks it away. See you soon.
