The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions. The more you do, the more you did. Also, football. 🏈

@SpaceX @elonmusk @Boca_Bill_R Should the mentality 'I won’t care about my legacy after death' dictate the future of humanity?

@ProFootballTalk This reading doesn't seem anti-diversity -- more pro-merit. So when a minority coach wins in Florida, it’s credited to merit, not a mandate 🏈
(This assumes a fair system. But if ‘merit’ is subjective, then a mandate becomes a tool to keep hidden biases from getting in the way)

The invisible Glass experiment
Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium.
On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely.
When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack.
Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back.
Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way.
The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank.
After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth.
But the pike never tried to eat them again.
Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there.
A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome.
It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

@kurt13warner Makes sense. Gotta be in the precise body sync to control those layers without forcing it. Is it more about the timing of the ‘tip’ and follow-through to get the exact drop, or the overall body alignment to keep power consistent across different windows?

Hey buddy… I would say in general it’s a throw where you have to get the ball over one defender & then drop it in under another! What we call “layering” the ball! Forces a QB to engage body for power, limit arm, tip shoulders, & still have a violent follow through! Lots of nuance to this type of throw and not all can make it consistently!

@kurt13warner I’m neither but have often wondered… what is the hardest throw for a QB to complete? Or does it depend on the player? I guess I’m wondering generally. Oh… and love to the family ! ❤️

If you do this kind of crap, I have no doubt that it feels good. You might even get a few of your fellow primates to clap for you. But it’s a dang poor way to compel others to consider the merits of your cause. In fact, it might be more effective at making people hate you and whatever it is that you are protesting for.

@history_under You’re just dead wrong
More people, now more than ever, believe that Churchill was the chief antagonist for world war 2. You can deny it, but we all know it. The historical record shows he attacked German civilians first. Not Hitler.
