Did Nintendo Brain Training Make Me Smarter?
I’ve spent hundreds of hours playing Nintendo Brain Training. I’ve always thought it’d make me smarter. Most people agree. I asked 25 Brits, and 24 said it “helps their memory.” And yet, my guest on Nudge, Prof Dan Simons, thinks we’re all wrong. So, does Nintendo brain training work? Well, in today’s episode of Nudge, I find out.
First, I analysed the dozens of ads Nintendo had put out. I share the psychological nudges they used to persuade us and how they made their game so popular. Then, I run my own experiment. For 5 days, I play Nintendo Brain Training. I record my progress and measure if my intelligence has improved after a week. And finally, I chat with Professor Dan Simons and hea...

Tesco is the largest UK employer. They conduct almost 1 million interviews a year, yet I think they might be pointless. Today, I will share psychological studies showing common interview flaws.

There’s a strange ritual Messi does at the start of every game that helps make him great. This ritual also helps job candidates succeed in interviews, sketch comedians create better jokes, and helped A-ha write Take On Me.

How I persuaded 8 influencers to promote this show
Просмотров 9812 месяца назад
I didn’t pay them. I didn’t force them. I didn’t even try to persuade them. No, to convince these 8 influencers I used an extremely powerful psychological bias. This same bias has been used to sell one thousand pounds of cheese in three hours, turn greedy bankers into charitable donors, and (potentially) save us from nuclear war.

He lied to his students, his friends, and his family. He fabricated data in 57 separate studies. He publicised racist views as scientific fact. And for a decade, he got away with it.

    most important condition for her scam to be able to succeed, seems to me is the fact that the American health industry is run by venture capital... she probably overheard a discussion somewhere going: 'Imagine if we could do all these tests with just one drop of blood, we'd charge exactly the same price as now with ten times less overhead'... and she went 'dang, I'll sell that'...

    You see, that image you have of Caesar as the nemesis of democracy was handed to you by people who despised him, most prominently that vile worm Cicero - a cowardly, opportunistic weasel of a slum-lord, whose entire career consisted of influence peddling, wetting his beak, and writing turgid missives attempting to paint himself as some sort of sophisticated intellectual as opposed to the self-important blowhard he actually was. Cicero was representative of the ruling patrician class in a number of ways. These were men who pretended to be paragons of republican virtue, Cicero et al. didn’t hate Caesar because he was an enemy of democracy. The ruling class didn’t hate him because he was a self-aggrandizing tyrant. They hated him because he stood for and represented everything they were not. His very existence made them look mean and petty in contrast. Caesar was also a polymath - a genius in multiple domains. Cicero himself was forced to admit that Caesar was the most exalted rhetorician of his day. Reading his Commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars demonstrates this mastery of language. Caesar communicated in precise, clear, compelling speech, using no more words than were necessary to get his message across to his primary audience - that being the largely illiterate proles back in Rome, to whom he addressed his Commentaries as a means of telling his story directly to them (some of them could read, and they’d read them aloud to their friends), rather than letting his enemies in the Senate dominate the narrative with their poison This is not the language of a narcissistic, grandiose megalomaniac, but rather the simple, direct words of a man who wants only to make the truth as clear as he can. Explaining complex matters in simple language that all can grasp is actually a very difficult thing to do. The content of the Commentaries likewise speaks to his genius. His battlefield victories were nothing short of miraculous Then there’s the book. You know, that sheaf of bound sheets with writing on them, that enables information to be much more rapidly retrieved than can be done by unrolling a scroll. Caesar invented them, or more precisely the codex. Yes, really

    You know, I’d rather just listen to Rory speak without some other person pretending they have some input when in fact you’re summarising, which means in fact you’re directing my interpretation of Rory’s thoughts towards your agenda. Appropriation of someone else’s work and presenting it as your own is a huge and growing issue in social media. Idea theft in a situation where an action for plagiarism is unlikely.

    I barely look at resumes since getting a paper has almost zero correlation to ability to do a job, and people lie lot. In a professional setting I want to know just three things. 1. Given an unknown task, how do you go about solving for it? 2. If something goes bad, what's your framework to involve the right people, solve the problem and communicate to stakeholders? 3. If you need to "sell" an idea, concept, get funding etc, how do you go about it? (if its a technical role, show me a business problem and your solution to it and how you arrived at that solution). Pretty much anything else can be learned, so if they have the key basic skills, would they be somebody I want to work with every day for the given role? "Cultural" fit really does matter. A fair number of people I've hired have had more of a career than I have so I must be picking reasonably well.

    When you turn up for an interview and they ask you "why are you here", it's time to leave; on the second interview the manager can't be bothered to attend, clearly you are not getting the job, time to leave. What is the difference between a mean lean company and a Fat Flabby one; A Personnel department; I can explain further if you go to a mean lean company you will be interviewed by the CEO and they will talk about their company and vision, you can explain how you could fit it with the vision and contribute you the companies success, and you will get the position.
