The number of burgers that negatively affect the liver has been determined.

The Keck School of Medicine in Southern California concluded that 20% of daily calories from fast food lead to a real risk of getting health problems. To be more precise, we are talking about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease - to get it, it is enough to have a fast food snack at least once during the day.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

There are the following ways in which we make sense of our experience and all information. Knowing them helps us understand how we communicate with each other and with the world. 1. Crossing out information. When crossing out, we "omit" some of the information. Such a filter is important, especially now, when the information flow is huge. We learn only what at the moment seems useful and necessary to us, and we do not pay attention to all the "superfluous". 2. Generalization or generalization. Quite often, we use larger categories that include multiple subcategories. In different contexts, we can disaggregate and generalize information. In life, we do this all the time when we give things or events a more general meaning. 3. Distortion. Examples of distortion are our "yellow press", various gossip and gossip. Remember the children's game "Broken Phone". The essence is the same. We are constantly in the "illusion of understanding" of each other. We pass words through our own perceptual filter, we get information that corresponds to our experience, and we try to give it meaning.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

Human thinking is already arranged in such a way that we process information in a special way. We can omit some details, or distort what we heard, and sometimes generalize something. In some situations, this is useful, but quite often the “missing links” do not give us the full picture, and make us draw the wrong conclusions. It is precisely because of this that the causes of misunderstanding often arise.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

For example, you come to a furniture store. A manager comes up to you and asks: - What interests you? "I'm looking for a kitchen" - you say. The "green" seller will first clarify the price range and your style preferences. Experienced will not begin with the price. First he knows: What is the kitchen in your understanding? What is the main thing for you? What can you not imagine a kitchen without? Which table in your concept is comfortable or original? And so on. How many buyers there will be, the same number of completely different answers. Often, the opportunity to gather with the whole family in a comfortable environment is much more important than the price.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

We do not just communicate with each other and say something. The main thing is the meaning that we put into them. With our words and non-verbal manifestations, we all the time encourage a person to take some step: approval, reflection, response, action or inaction, and so on. But it happens that we do not get what we want, because the other one puts into our words the meaning that is closer to his perception of reality. Hence the reasons for the misunderstanding of people. And, conversely, the closer a person perceives this meaning, the more effective communication. Good communicators understand this, and prefer to speak in a "language of meaning". Because in reality we can want one thing, but say something completely different.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

This is a simple example. And try to describe the words "freedom", "love", "happiness". These concepts are much broader and deeper, and there will be much more differences. We bring our own meaning to each word and hope that another person, coming from his reality, will understand it the way we understand it. But this is not possible. The reasons for misunderstanding each other lie in the fact that everyone has their own individual way of processing information. And if for your child a good walk is a game of “war” with friends, an automatic machine, a fence, bushes, shooting, loud screams, wallowing on the ground. Then, in your understanding, a good walk can be completely different, and not at all anxiety, broken knees, soiled clothes and extra laundry. Although for someone the happy eyes of their child are more important than such trifles.

Illusion of understanding. What are the reasons for people's misunderstanding?

We communicate through words. But everyone puts their own meaning into the word, and as a result builds their own picture of the world. Take the word "dog". And ask 10 people to say what this word means in their understanding. It is possible that you will find a lot in common in these descriptions, but there will be many differences. Everyone will have their own image in their head. For one, it will be a ferocious bull terrier, for another, an affectionate chihuahua in a collar with rhinestones.

That's it, I'm not doing it anymore ⠀

Yes, there are times when a person says this. He or she starts something and then suddenly gives up. For example, started learning a foreign language but quit. Wanted to go swimming, but didn't go further than one training. There are a lot of examples... Just like Sisyphus could not roll a stone up a hill, people stumble on the spot, being offended by the impossible task, circumstances and people around them, and then get disappointed in theirselves. The situation when a person doesn't get things done is one of the most common negative scenarios. It is called "Sisyphus" in psychology.

The declaration of self-value

I am ME. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like ME. There are people in some ways similar to me, but there is no one exactly like ME. Therefore, everything that comes from me is genuinely mine, because I am the one who chose it. I own everything about me: my body, including everything it does; my mind, including all thoughts and plans; my eyes; my feelings, whatever they may be; my mouth and all the words it utters; my voice, loud or quiet; all my actions directed toward myself or others. I own all my fantasies, dreams, hopes, and fears.

ChatGPT wrote a marketing article for a journalist, earning $600 for a guy in 30 seconds.

The freelancer himself, who regularly writes for The Guardian, spoke about the experiment: according to him, the article needed a little editing, because it lacked the author's point of view, but the content, presentation logic, grammar and syntax were impeccable. The guy himself is sure that artificial intelligence will soon deprive him of his work.
