Afaik, the only nourishment one gets from eating so-called edible #gold is a boost to one's #ego 🤔(barring medical use cases). Our bodies do not require Au for nourishment.👇🧐
#BangkokPost - ‘Edible gold’ controls tightened amid #misleading #claims
"Gold leaf has had cultural significance in #Thailand for centuries, but the #edible #goldleaf #fad is a 21st century phenomenon linked to the rise of #socialmedia and #luxury #dining."🤦♂️

"867-5309/Jenny" is a song written by #AlexCall and #JimKeller and performed by Keller's band Tommy Tutone. It was released on the album #TommyTutone2 (1981) through #ColumbiaRecords. It peaked at number four on the #Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the #RockTopTracks chart in April 1982. The song led to a #fad of people prank calling unsuspecting victims by dialing 867-5309 and asking for "Jenny".

“Eureka!”*…
Whence insight?…
New research published in BMC Psychology suggests that the structural wiring of the brain may play a significant role in how people solve problems through sudden insight. The study indicates that individuals who frequently experience “Aha!” moments tend to have less organized white matter pathways in specific language-processing areas of the left hemisphere. These findings imply that a slightly less rigid neural structure might allow the brain to relax its focus, enabling the unique connections required for creative breakthroughs.
For decades, scientists have studied the phenomenon of insight, which occurs when a solution to a problem enters awareness suddenly and unexpectedly. This is often contrasted with analytical problem solving, which involves a deliberate and continuous step-by-step approach.
While previous studies using functional MRI and EEG have mapped the brain activity that occurs during these moments, there has been little understanding of the underlying physical structure that supports them. The researchers behind the new study aimed to determine if stable differences in white matter—the bundles of nerve fibers that connect different brain regions—predict an individual’s tendency to solve problems via insight.
“For over two decades, neuroscience has mapped what happens in the brain during these moments using EEG and fMRI. We know from prior research that insight feels sudden, tends to be accurate, and involves distinct functional activation patterns — including a burst of activity in the right temporal cortex just before the solution reaches awareness,” said study authors Carola Salvi of the Cattolica University of Milan and Simone A. Luchini of Pennsylvania State University.
“But one major question remained open: what structural features of the brain might make some people more likely to experience insight in the first place?”
“Most previous white matter studies of creativity did not specifically focus on Aha! experiences. They measured how many problems people solved, or how creatively, not how they solved them (with or without these sudden epiphanies). Yet insight and non insight solutions are phenomenologically and neurally distinct processes.”
White matter acts as the communication infrastructure of the brain, transmitting signals between distant regions. To examine this structure, the researchers employed a technique called Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). This method tracks the movement of water molecules within brain tissue.
“We wanted to know whether stable white matter microstructure — the brain’s anatomical wiring — differs depending on whether someone tends to solve problems through sudden insight or through deliberate step-by-step reasoning (non insight solutions),” Salvi and Luchini explained. “Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allowed us to examine this structural dimension directly.”…
… The findings offered a counterintuitive perspective on brain connectivity. The analysis revealed that participants who solved more problems via insight exhibited lower fractional anisotropy in the left hemisphere’s dorsal language network. This network includes the arcuate fasciculus and the superior longitudinal fasciculus, pathways that connect brain regions responsible for language production, comprehension, and semantic processing.
“One striking finding was that people who more frequently experienced insight showed lower fractional anisotropy in specific left-hemisphere dorsal language pathways, including parts of the arcuate fasciculus and superior longitudinal fasciculus,” Salvi and Luchini told PsyPost.
“At first glance, that might sound counterintuitive. Fractional anisotropy is often interpreted as reflecting the coherence or organization of white matter pathways. In many cognitive domains, higher fractional anisotropy is associated with better performance.”
“But insight may operate differently. The left hemisphere is typically involved in focused, fine-grained semantic processing — narrowing in on dominant interpretations of words and concepts. The right hemisphere, by contrast, is thought to support broader, ‘coarse’ semantic coding — integrating more distantly related ideas. Slightly lower fractional anisotropy in left dorsal language pathways may reflect a system that is less tightly constrained by dominant interpretations.
“In other words, it may allow a partial ‘release’ from habitual patterns of thought and it is in line with other studies where lesions in the left frontotemporal regions have been shown to increase artistic creativity,” Salvi and Luchini continued. “Taken together, these findings imply that left hemispheric regions play a regulatory role in creativity and that their disruption lifts this constraint, thus promoting novel ideas.”…
This somehow makes your correspondent feel better about his messy desk…

As we ruminate on revelation, we might recall that it was on this date in 1939 that the college fad of swallowing live goldfish began at Harvard: a freshman named Lothrop Withington, Jr., reportedly bragged to his friends that he had once eaten a live fish. They bet him 10 bucks he couldn’t do it again. Perhaps because he was running for Class President, he took the challenge…
#Brain #craze #culture #epiphany #fad #Harvard #history #humor #insight #LothropWithington #LothropWithingtonJr #neuroscience #revelation #Science #swallowingGoldfish #swallowingLiveGoldfish #whiteMatterThe moment of truth came on March 3, within the hallowed halls of Harvard. Standing in front of a crowd of grinning classmates and at least one Boston reporter, Withington dropped an ill-fated 3-inch goldfish into his mouth, gave a couple chews and swallowed. “The scales,” he later remarked, “caught a bit on my throat as it went down.”
Soon the word spread to other colleges. Other students began to take up the challenge, swallowing more and more goldfish each time to top the last record. By the time students were downing dozens of live, wriggling goldfish to uphold their school’s honor, the Massachusetts legislature stepped in and passed a law to “preserve the fish from cruel and wanton consumption.” The U.S. Public Health Service began to issue warnings that the goldfish could pass tapeworms and disease to swallowers. Within a few months of its start, the fad died out.

Part of me dreads that it's an actual, useful, justifiable #accessibility hack that we should tolerate, because OS/browser vendors can't decide on a good solution.
Part of me hopes it's just a #fad (we have to have this too) or vanity #metric (did the user scroll all the way to the bottom?) and I can just safely ignore it.

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
There are people who resemble popular songs: they are sung for a time and then forgotten.
[Il y a des gens qui ressemblent aux vaudevilles, qu’on ne chante qu’un certain temps.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble

A quotation from Charles Mackay
Every age has its peculiar folly; some scheme, project, or phantasy into which it plunges, spurred on either by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the mere force of imitation. Failing in these, it has some madness, to which it is goaded by political or religious causes, or both combined.
Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “The Crusades” (1841)More info about this quote: wist.info/mackay-charles/78827…

"James Welsh, from Hampshire, sees his Labubu collectable as an investment, which he tells the BBC "could probably earn a fair bit of money two or three years down the line".
He has just shy of 30 Labubus which retail at around £25 for an individual toy or £153 for a box of six." - BBC News

I also LOVE how some SMUG weirdos pretend that #ace people "suddenly" emerged out of nowhere as if it were the latest #fad.
No, sweetheart, we’re not new. Not even ace #activism is new. You just heard of our existence the first time a few days ago. This has challenged your flawed notions about #sexuality but instead of accepting new information and LEARNING, you just grasp at excuses.
It’s just anti-intellectualism, and you’re embarrassing yourselves. Not us.

There is no such thing as artificial intelligence. Not one single person in history has EVER given a scientifically-rigorous definition of #Intelligence in the first place. So we don't even know how natural intelligence works (assuming it does . . .) so how are we going to build an artificial one?
Today's #AI #fad is just a pile of complicated math that no one wants to explain because the people hyping it don't understand it to begin with.
So don't believe them.
Especially when it's going to get people killed: https://www.firstpost.com/tech/how-googles-ai-generated-mushroom-pics-can-lead-to-major-health-crises-in-us-eu-13818826.html -
