If you’ve ever wondered why economic forecasts fail with the enthusiasm of a New Year’s gym resolution, welcome to the Lucas Critique: the academic equivalent of a slap to the face, delivered by Robert Lucas, the economist whose ideas made half the world’s policymakers suddenly question their life choices. For decades, economists behaved like astrologers…

“Some deceive you with their cover, and others surprise you with their content”

Humans love pretending they’re in control. We write goals, make promises, join gyms, and buy planners — then proceed to forget all of it by Wednesday. The truth? Your brain runs on habit loops, tiny self-reinforcing circuits that decide what you do long before your “logical” self gets out of bed. ⸻ The Science Bit…

Let’s talk about the giant nuclear reactor that gives you life and burns you for sport — the Sun. Humanity spends billions on supplements, creams, and LED gadgets, but the single most powerful antidepressant, fat-burner, hormone regulator, and immune-booster is right above your head. Literally free. Yet we avoid it like it’s a tax auditor.…

Congratulations — you’ve met sleep inertia, the human brain’s way of saying, “You woke me up too early, you idiot.” What it is: Sleep inertia happens when you wake up during deep sleep. Your brain’s prefrontal cortex — the…

Those cells feed directly into your suprachiasmatic nucleus, the brain’s body-clock boss, which tells your pineal gland whether to pump out melatonin (the “sleep” hormone) or…

People conform to what they see others doing — that’s the foundation of human social behavior. If the social environment doesn’t punish or stigmatize spitting, littering, or noise, those acts become descriptive norms (what’s normal), not injunctive norms (what’s acceptable). Proof: In classic experiments, when researchers increased visible litter in an area, people littered more.…

Modern humans are drowning in micro-stimulation — phones, alerts, dopamine grenades. The brain adapts by dulling receptors, which means normal life feels like beige soup. That’s why you can feel “meh” even when things are fine. The fix? Controlled boredom. Periods of deliberate stillness restore dopamine sensitivity. Boredom literally rebuilds motivation.
