Our idea of the multiverse stems from the notion of quantum mechanics: The idea that every time we enter a situation there are potentially infinite possibilities to arise as the outcome. But when we make a decision, we only get one of these outcomes. Science fiction as well as our media and films are bewitched by the concept of the multiverse. But what can science tell us about its legitimacy?

Why are you procrastinating?

Despite what we've been socialized to think, procrastination is not your enemy. It's your brain trying to tell you something needs to change. When you procrastinate, your amygdala activates because the task in front of you is triggering stress. This stress leads to avoidance: like avoiding doing taxes to watch Netflix instead. Then your anterior cingulate cortex amplifies that stress through self judgement. This is the emotional reaction: beating yourself up for watching Netflix. But why is the task in front of you triggering stress and leading to avoidance? Anne-Laure Le Cunff suggests The Triple Check, a tool to ask whether procrastination is coming from the head, the heart or the hand. The head = at a rational level you're not convinced you should be working on that task The heart = at an emotional level you don't think this will be enjoyable to work on The hand = you don't feel like you have the tools or the resources to get the job done Once you identify why you are procrastinating you can start to work on the root of the problem.

The mystery at the heart of consciousness lies in why our universe – despite teeming with non-conscious matter – is configured in a way where it's having a felt experience from the inside. Modern neuroscience suggests that our intuitions about consciousness are incorrect.

Ben Horowitz: Quit being a coward and do the hard thing | Big Think+

"You need to run towards the pain and darkness and not away from it. I think the best leaders always run towards the darkness. They always run towards a problem." Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, The smartest people have mastered these 6 core skills ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32z8Ax1j-Q4 Much of the management advice we find in books emphasizes using leadership tactics that may seem reasonably obvious. This advice is often easy to follow — but that’s not where leaders run into issues with their strategy, argues Ben Horowitz, founding partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and author of the best-selling book, "The Hard Thing About Hard Things.” Horowitz says that leaders make blunders when they find themselves in highly emotionally charged situations where the emotion prevents them from doing the thing that they intellectually know they need to do. For example, firing a friend or doing a reorganization that causes a very talented employee to lose power. These things are much more difficult, and people often avoid them. But as a leader, you're much better off running at your fear than running away from your fear because it's going to chase you down, emphasizes Horowitz. ‘Management debt’ is what happens when you don't do what you're supposed to. And accruing a lot of management debt has a cascading effect that can create a total degradation of your organization.
