معدل الاضطراب العقلي حسب المهنة كلما ارتقيت في سلّم المهن الفنيّة والإبداعيّة، ازداد اقترابك من هاوية الاضطراب العقلي. •الشعراء: ٨٧٪ •الروائيون: ٧٧٪ •المسرحيون: ٧٥٪ •الفنانون: ٧٣٪ •الكتّاب: ٧٢٪ •الموسيقيون: ٦٨٪ الإبداع، في جوهره، ليس امتلاكًا للاتّزان، بل رقصةٌ دقيقة على حافة الفوضى. فالفنان—والشاعر بخاصة—يعيش على تماسٍّ مباشر مع أعماقه التي يخشاها الآخرون: الألم، العزلة، القلق، واللاجدوى. ما نسمّيه “اضطرابًا” هو، في أحد وجوهه، فرط حساسيّةٍ للوجود؛ قدرةٌ على التقاط التصدّعات الخفيّة في النفس والعالم. وكلّما اشتدّ الوعي، تعمّق الألم؛ لأنّ من يرى أكثر، يتألّم أكثر. فالثمن الذي يدفعه المبدع لقاء لمسه للجمال المطلق هو أن يعيش أبداً على تخوم الجنون.

Having struggled for many years with sleep, one thing I’ve found helpful is what I call “Sleepiness Meditation.” Many forms of meditation are actually obstructive to sleep as they are very energizing. Sleepiness Meditation though, is designed specifically for sleep. It works as follows: - When lying in bed, even if you are feeling very wired, alert or energized, try to seek out any trace of the sensation of tiredness or sleepiness within you - Perhaps it might be a single body part or muscle that feels a little tired or even just a hint of mental tiredness somewhere in your mind’s internal landscape - Once you locate this sensation, make it the object of you meditation. - Just as in breath meditation one focuses on their breath and returns to it when the mind wanders, you can focus on the tired or sleepy sensation you’ve found and return to it every time the mind wanders elsewhere - Over time, as you focus on the sensation, you may notice it becoming stronger and stronger, cultivated by the power of your attention. - Becoming ever more absorbed in this growing sensation or sleepiness, you can eventually ride it all the way into sleep This meditation has the added benefit of also making us more conscious of the transition states between wakefulness and sleep. And as any student of Tibetan Buddhism can tell you, these sleep transition states are some of the most fruitful states of all for spiritual cultivation.

Rude prompts to LLMs consistently lead to better results than polite ones 🤯 The authors found that very polite and polite tones reduced accuracy, while neutral, rude, and very rude tones improved it. Statistical tests confirmed that the differences were significant, not random, across repeated runs. The top score reported was 84.8% for very rude prompts and the lowest was 80.8% for very polite. They compared their results with earlier studies and noted that older models (like GPT-3.5 and Llama-2) behaved differently, but GPT-4-based models like ChatGPT-4o show this clear reversal where harsh tone works better. ---- Paper – arxiv. org/abs/2510.04950 Paper Title: "Mind Your Tone: Investigating How Prompt Politeness Affects LLM Accuracy (short paper)"
