If you’ve ever seen a red candle on a chart and felt your heart rate climb, this is for you. Here is the "no-nonsense" guide to surviving market movements without losing your sleep (or your savings). 1. The "Big Exit" Isn't Always a Red Flag If a foreign fund sells out, don’t panic immediately. Why? Because big institutions have reasons for selling that have nothing to do with the company’s health. They might be rebalancing their portfolio, meeting withdrawal requests, or simply moving capital to a different country. If it’s a one-time incident , take a breath. It’s usually just market noise. 2. Watch the "Captains," Not the Pass...

The Intelligence Gap: Is Gen Z the First Generation with a Lower IQ? "Is Google making us dumber? A neuroscientist says yes." Or did they get their reading right? "Do you feel like your memory has gotten worse since you got a smartphone?" For over a century, humanity enjoyed a steady climb in average IQ scores, a phenomenon known as the Flynn Effect.  Every decade, we seemed to get a little bit sharper. But according to Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, a prominent neuroscientist, that streak has officially ended. In a recent testimony before U.S. lawmakers, Dr. Horvath delivered a wake-up call: Gen Z (born 1997–2012) may be the first generation in modern history to show lower IQ levels than their parents. 1. The End of the "Flynn Effect" Since the early 1900s, improved nutrition, better schooling, and environmental factors pushed IQ scores up by roughly 3 points per decade. However, data from several developed nations, including Norway, Denmark, and Britain—sugge...

  What is "nothing"?  Is it an empty vessel to be filled or the fabric of reality itself?  This video explores the fascinating distinction between the Western "Empty Vessel" and the Eastern "Empty Field". We dive into: The Western Perspective:  How Socrates used "nothing" as a strategic starting line to build a tower of logic and data. The Eastern Perspective:  How Zen Buddhism (Sunyata) and Taoism view nothingness not as a lack, but as the interconnected "suchness" of the world. The Paradox:  Why the Westerner thinks until thoughts reach their limit, while the Easterner sits until thoughts become optional. Whether you are looking for intellectual humility or the dissolution of the "self," discover how these two "nothings" shape our respective worlds. #Philosophy #ZenBuddhism #Nothingness
