“In order to understand what happens in your body when you dislike someone, you can start by trying to understand fear. As Robert Sapolsky writes in “Why Your Brain Hates Other People,” when we see someone who even looks different from us, “there is preferential activation of the amygdala,” which means the brain region associated with fear and aggression flares up. This visceral, emotional reaction can spark a long-term pattern of dislike when it’s validated by action: if you perceive that someone has hurt you, your fear of them becomes rational. Our negative feelings toward someone get stronger as bad experiences with them pile up, and these negative thoughts trigger the fight-or-flight response in our bodies.”

That’s a timeless question! Many people have different perspectives on whether money can buy happiness. Some believe that having financial security and the ability to afford their needs and desires can contribute to happiness. However, others argue that true happiness comes from non-material sources like relationships, experiences, and personal fulfillment. In the end, it’s a complex and subjective matter. While money can provide comfort and opportunities, it’s not a guarantee of happiness on its own.

Indeed, religion allows people to imagine that their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral – that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings. This explains why Christians like yourself expend more “moral” energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide. It explains why you are more concerned about human embryos than about the lifesaving promise of stem-cell research. And it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year.

— Sam Harris

Christopher Nolan explains how he stays informed despite not having a smartphone:

“I actually do read the newspaper every day. Yes, the physical newspaper. No, I go online plenty, probably more than I would like. But I do it at a computer in my office. You know, I don’t like to be distracted during the day overly. So I don’t carry a smartphone with me and all the rest. But I know I stay very informed as much as I can, you know, through traditional media, through online as well. But I don’t do any social media or anything like that. I try not to get too bogged down in the process of feeling connected with the world. It doesn’t really take long to, you know, get up to speed on the news of the day. You don’t need to spend your entire existence doing it. And I’m very easily distractible, so it’s better for me to put that in a box and have a particular period of time where I’m paying attention to what’s going on outside world. And then I need to focus on the thing it is that I’m doing. And so when I’m making a film, I very much get into a bubble and don’t keep in touch with what’s going on in the world. But that’s sort of the job, really. I mean, I’m being paid or being entrusted with a budget. And I’m being given the responsibility of focusing entirely on this particular film while I’m making it. That’s my job.”
