Donald Trump would not be the first person to receive someone else’s Nobel Prize medal — a historical precedent already exists. In 1943, Knut Hamsun, a Nobel Prize laureate and a committed admirer of fascism and Nazism, gave his Nobel Prize medal to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda

Skipping breakfast is not fasting. The less you eat for breakfast, the worse it is for your heart. HBF – high-energy breakfast (over 20% of daily calories, often 35%+), LBF – low-energy breakfast (5–20% of daily calories), SBF – skipping breakfast (5% or less of daily calories).

Modern dictatorships have ironclad control over social media—either directly or through swarms of bots. This will inevitably drag every democracy into collapse in the coming years. Survival without an information quarantine is impossible, as people waste 5–6 hours a day glued to their phones.

The only reasonable strategy, when there is a beast at your border, is to cut off its paws the moment it makes a move. If a plane enters your territory even for a second — shoot it down! If drones are flying — bring them down before they cross the border!

Reminder: Belarus and Belarusian. Similarity doesn't mean the same thing. For example, Rome is not the same as modern Romania or the Romani people (Gypsies) and Rus has almost nothing common with modern Russia. #belarus #belarusian

Oral health. In addition to oral hygiene, use probiotic supplements for the mouth (for adults and children). They reduce the risk not only of cavities but also of unpleasant breath and respiratory infections. The combination of Streptococcus salivarius K12 and M18 is particularly beneficial.

There is no purpose or intention in biology, only causes. Don’t trust explanations—they are often mere rationalizations for self-deception. "Evolution has no foresight. It doesn’t plan for the future; it works with what it has, here and now." (Sean B. Carroll)

Expert's radius. A skilled worker or excellent specialist has a subconscious motivational radius—productivity tends to increase within a three-meter radius around them (with an unmotivated worker, the opposite is true). Therefore, stay physically closer to those you want to emulate or learn from.

The secret of social charisma: be generous, willingly share with others, give them your full attention, and sincerely try to understand them—all without expecting anything in return or imposing expectations on how they should behave or respond.

Laugh at yourself. When you are "inside" a situation and feel trapped in it, it is difficult to view yourself from the outside and find better ways to solve problems. Humor allows you to step outside the current paradigm and see the situation differently.

Mentor's mental model. When we think about what to do, our basic beliefs can limit or distort our ideas. To bypass this, you can engage your imagination and imagine the mental model of a specialist, author, or someone you respect in that field and think about what they would do.

Turn inwards. Often, when we're irritated with someone, it's helpful to remember when we behaved precisely the same way. Direct the energy of irritation towards yourself, promising not to act similarly, and be forgiving towards the other person—after all, you've behaved like that, too.

Your best advisor is the best version of your future self. Aim to impress only three people: your child Self, Future Self, and the Best Possible Self. Trying to impress random people is foolish if they aren’t who you aspire to be. Also, seek advice from this same trio.

Images of eyes and human faces prompt prosocial behavior, encourage greater consideration of one's societal role, reduce selfishness, and improve focus on responsibilities. Therefore, portraits, photographs of loved ones, or other people's faces as wallpapers are good for you

Jumping is a highly effective yet underrated form of exercise. It boosts energy, uplifts mood, triggers the release of neurotransmitters, tones leg muscles, strengthens the core, enhances pelvic floor muscles, fortifies bones, and improves balance and coordination.

Art is a source of pleasure, energy, and inspiration. Identify what captivates you and brings you joy through its beauty — whether it’s objects, paintings, or architecture. Studies have shown that contemplating artworks triggers a significant release of dopamine in the brain.

✅Legumes Consume legumes — such as peas, mung beans, chickpeas, beans, lentils, and asparagus beans — at least three times a week. They have a low glycemic index, are rich in protein and fiber, provide good satiety, reduce cholesterol, and protect the heart.
