Word of the Day: Paradox - A statement that seems false at first glance, but upon investigation, may actually be true. For example, pharmaceutical companies want people to be sick; While seeming false at first, and contradictory, upon further investigation you realize that they profit and grow from a prevalence of pestilence and poor health, thus if everybody was healthy tomorrow, they would suddenly go out of business. Harmful side-effects of drugs are actually a positive outcome for companies that manufacture drugs, because then they can create and sell even more drugs to treat those side-effects, making more money, which enables further growth for their technologies and advancement for their industry. It seems contradictory to assume that Healthcare companies would prefer for people to be sick, but there it is, concrete proof contained in corporate reasoning. That is a paradox. Most of the drugs that a cancer patient takes are drugs meant to combat the side-effects of chemo therapy. Pharmaceutical companies love this, cancer patients are cash-cows for them. Doctors aren't taught about the carnivore diet, intermittent fasting nor autophagy, and as a result, those viable avenues of cancer treatment are kept from patients, just so drugs can be sold to them instead, even though recent clinical trial data supports the claim that most cancers can be eradicated through extreme elimination diets and fasting practices. Another definition of a paradox is something that, in its design, is intrinsically contradictory toward its intended or stated purpose; For example, "correctional facilities" are paradoxical, because they claim to correct flawed human behavioral patterns, while simultaneously tormenting inmates' psychologically through persistent fear, anger, and social isolation, thereby worsening their psychological constitution, and thus increasing their behavioral and emotional volatility as well as their potential of recidivism upon release. Correctional facilities are only "correctional" by moniker, but upon keen observation you realize that the actual facilities are anything but correctional, and they contribute to increases in crime rates throughout society through the worsening of the psychological status of everybody that is processed by them. This is why prisons are always overflowing, and crime rates are never down. In Denmark recidivism rates are the lowest in the world, and it's because the focus is on rehabilitation of offenders rather than the abject psychological torture of them. Another example of this definition of paradox is the "Department of Defense" in the United States. If they specialize in creating weapons and tactics of war, then shouldn't it be called the Department of Offense rather than Defense? It's a paradox. Health Cookie #17: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone. It is released upon accomplishment, to make you feel good about yourself. But according to neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, the most successful people are those who don't feel accomplished upon completing a goal, but rather, those who feel accomplished upon making efforts toward the achievement of that goal. A study was done on children. The children enjoyed drawing and coloring, and they did it regularly. They began to receive little rewards for drawing, like gold stars, candy, shit like that. But eventually the rewards stopped coming, and as a result of that, the children lost interest and stopped drawing entirely; Even though, before the rewards ever started happening, they all enjoyed drawing intrinsically, and required no motivating factor to compel them toward doing it. The thought of no longer being rewarded for it actually ruined their baseline default enjoyment of it, and robbed them of a hobby. This indicates that people actually lose the motivation to work on something, if they care more about the reward than the process of earning it. Don't place as much value on the result, as you place on the work. Focus on the journey not the destination, etc. Also, it's wise to temper yourself upon achievements instead of letting yourself feel too proud of them, because whenever you have a dopamine release there's always a resultant crash which makes you feel sadder and unmotivated afterwards. The problem with touching the clouds is that you fall back down to Earth afterwards; But if you regulate and partially restrain your dopamine releases with conscious intention, then the resultant crash won't be nearly as severe. You could apply this strategy to video game progression, academic achievements, creative endeavors, relationship milestones, etc. Be proud, but only a little proud. Don't go overboard, or else you'll overstimulate your dopamine and suffer a resultant crash, making it harder to stay consistent. You see this in couples all the time: "Our wedding was so magical and now the magic is gone", or "We were so happy when our son was born, and now we're drifting apart". Couples sometimes attach more value to the milestones of their relationship than to the actual relationship itself, which eventually devalues the relationship in their minds. Dopamine is dangerous if you don't apply accurate thought toward controlling it. If you need evidence, then simply peer inside the mind of any drug addict, porn addict, alcoholic, gambler, obese individual, or any other person who's vices outweigh and overpower their virtues with regular consistency, to the detriment of not only themselves but also their families. Discipline before dishonor, my friends. It's not just a name, it's a lifestyle.
here is a good tip btw in case of catastrophic horde base failure i make safe zones and wooden ladders on the second floors of other nearby nearby buildings it takes zombies several hours minimum to collapse a sizeable brick POI if there are no stairs to the roof for them to take. thus you can basically survive forever while bouncing between several of them, popping mendkits and preventing further destruction to your main base.

Danget. Power went out. I missed the new series beginning. I will see you tomorrow. Nice to meet you.
here is a good tip btw
in case of catastrophic horde base failure
i make safe zones and wooden ladders on the second floors of other nearby nearby buildings
it takes zombies several hours minimum to collapse a sizeable brick POI if there are no stairs to the roof for them to take.
thus you can basically survive forever while bouncing between several of them, popping mendkits and preventing further destruction to your main base.
