This book has also made a second argument. Whatever the skills of particular venture partnerships or individual VCs, venture capitalists as a group have a positive effect on economies and societies. (…) As with this book's claim about individual VC skill, there are legitimate objections to the claim about VCs' collective impact. (…) The least persuasive of these complaints is that venture-backed businesses are not socially useful. Of course, Big Tech has a dark side. Companies as huge as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google (…) Violations of privacy, the propagation of fake news, and the sheer power of private actors to determine who gets to communicate when and to whom (…) When VCs originally backed the tech giants, they were helping to create products that were good (…) nobody wants to return to a world without e-commerce, personal computer (…) Venture Capital is also attacked for the businesses it has failed to create (…) most common form of this complaint is that venture Capital has flowed more copiously to frivolous apps than to socially useful projects, notably the vital area of technologies to fight climate change. (…) Perhaps venture investors have their hearts in the right place, but their style of finance is unsuited to capital-intensive areas such as clean-tech? (…) the pre-2010 clean-tech flop was as much a government failure as a venture-Capital one (…) In putting Capital behind products that they can sell at a proflt, VCs are at least respecting the choices of millions of consumers. (…) What of the second broad area of complaint: that venture Capital is dominated by white men drawn from a narrow collection of elite colleges? (…) the venture industry is trying to improve. (…) On the issue of race, progress has been even slower. (…) To be fair, the venture
His Plan
“Lord Aedan!” Auberon whirls. “Get your bannermen here and arrest
Malleus. My son as well. And then we will deal with the human-loving
peasant mob outside.”
Aedan lifts his chin. “I think I prefer to stay out of this, Your Majesty.
Like the Dream Stalker, I have a great aversion to unnecessary death.”
As he speaks, I recall the poisons in his bedroom with a shudder. Man
loves his poisons.
Auberon pounds the table. “My son thrives on death. What is the
meaning of this?”
Aedan stands. “I tend to agree with Prince Talan. The kingdom has been
mismanaged, and that is the cause of the unrest now.”
Every word planted in his brain by Talan long ago.
“This is treason!” Arwenna’s father, the Marquis de Bosclair, gets to his
feet. “You will do as our king demands.”
“I will not.” Aedan looks resolute. “It is time to take a stand.”
The marquis’s cheeks turn pink. “Once we’ve dealt with the
commoners, I will march my own armies against any noble who refused to
obey His Majesty. The king is correct. Any commoners marching on the
king are trying to aid our enemies. They’re working for the filthy humans
who spread the famine. They’re our enemy within our kingdom, and we
must deal with them the way we do any threat to the crown.”
“That’s nonsense.” Ker-Ys’s shrill voice rises. “They’re not helping the
humans, and they’re not demi-Fey. They’re just starving. I stand with Prince
Talan.”
And here before me, each strand of Talan’s plan weaves together in
perfect precision.
Months of whispering dreams into nobles’ ears, of sowing thoughts like
threads—now, his schemes stitch themselves into place, a tapestry worthy
of Elaine of Shalott’s loom. He’s even managed to construct it so that KerYs has looked like his enemy. For months, he’s been controlling Ker-Ys to
oppose him. Now, I realize, it

"What convinced me of the truth of his work, ultimately, were the transformations in my own physical and nonphysical consciousness. There were empirical facts that I could not deny: the healing of an addiction that had been previously impossible to overcome, despite many sincere attemts; freedom from several allergies (pet dander, poison ivy, mold, hay fever); letting go of long-standing resentments, with a capacity to see the hidden gifts within the various life traumas I had been through; alleviation of several life-long fears and an anxiety disorder that had severely limited self-acceptance and life purpose. These major breakthroghs at the physical and nonphysical levels were concretely observable not only by myself but by those around me."
The word shaman means “to see in the dark.” There is a shamanism of the dark emotions—a way of maintaining awareness in the midst of the chaos and turbulence of the darker regions of the psyche—that ultimately alters our perception of who and what we are.
For my brain, sleep was “filing time"Nörobilim
When it comes to the physical healing of cells, I cannot stress enough the value of getting plenty of sleep. I truly believe that the brain is the ultimate authority on what it needs to heal itself. As I mentioned earlier, for my brain, sleep was “filing time.”
Kitabın Özeti (Çok güzel bir kitap)
Fazla empati yapmak sempatik sinir sistemini devreye sokuyor. Kendi derdine düştüğün için yardım etmek adına harekete geçmiyorsun. If seeing someone in pain actives your SNS (sempatik nervous system), you’er likely to be preoccupied with your own distress instead of helping, turn on the PNS, and it’s the opposite (69).
PreFrontal Cortex Amigdala
Prefrontal cotex is not fully online until people are in their midtwenties (109).
Frontal korteks was bidirectionally enmeshed with the limbic system, leading him to propose that the frontal cortex is a quasi member of the limbic sysytem (72).
Amigdalanın boyutu fazla strese maruz kalırsa büyüyor bunun sonucu nedir? Aşırı hassasiyet ve boyunca stres tepkisinin ateşlenmesi. Moreover, the amygdala expands in size with long-term PTSD (85).
People with damaged amgydalae are atypically generous in the Ultimatum Game and don’t increase rejection rates if they start receiving unfair offers (94). Kuralları anlıyorlar çünkü korteks çalışıyor fakat kendilerini koruyamıyorlar.
Çok İlginç DİYALEKTİK: Importantly, increase cognitive load on the frontal cortex, and afterward subjects become less prosocial –less charitable or helpful, more likely to lie. Or increase cognitive laod with a task requiring difficult emotional regulation and subjects cheat more on their diets afterward (119).
Sosyal Karmaşıklık PreFrontal Korteksin Gelişmesini Sağlıyor SOSYOLOJİ DERSİ (Neden bencil olamayız. Çünkü insanlığımızı toplumsallığımıza borçluyuz):Another study resolves this; if rhesus monkeys are randomly placed into social groups, over the subsequent fifteen months, the bigger the group, the larger the PFC becomes- social complexity expands the frontal cortex (123).
Dorsolateral PFC: PFC (dlPFC) don’t worry about dorsal or dorsolateral it’s just
