Branding Hanta virus

If you’re in Delhi for the India AI Summit and, like me, have decided not to attend today after the chaos yesterday, here’s a list of art shows to go to instead of sulking at a cafe in Khan Market: 1. Atul Dodiya’s stunning solo, “Gatecrashers,” at Vadehra Contemporary in Defence Colony 2. “Party is Elsewhere” at The Radial (F Block, Connaught Place) 3. Tyeb Mehta’s jaw-dropping retrospective at KNMA Saket 4. Neerja Kothari’s “A Day in Making” at Shrine Empire in Defence Colony 5. “The Teeming Earth,” curated by Girish Shahane, at Anant Art in Safdarjung Enclave You’re welcome ✌️

The one brain structure that literally grows when you do things you HATE doing — and shrinks the moment you get comfortable. Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman dropped what he calls “one of the most important discoveries in the history of neuroscience” in a conversation with David Goggins. It’s called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC). Recent human studies (not mice) show: - It’s smaller in people with obesity → grows when they successfully diet - Super-athletes have an unusually large aMCC - People who live the longest keep this area big their entire life - It enlarges every single time you force yourself to do something you genuinely do NOT want to do - It shrinks almost immediately if you stop or if the same task becomes enjoyable Huberman: “This isn’t the seat of intelligence or memory. This might actually be the seat of the WILL TO LIVE.” The rule is brutal but simple: If you love your ice bath → no growth If you’re terrified of cold water but get in anyway → aMCC gets bigger Skip a day or start liking it → it shrinks again tomorrow Huberman waited years to tell David Goggins about this because Goggins has been unconsciously training his aMCC harder than almost anyone alive. Watch the full clip below — it will permanently change how you think about discomfort, willpower, and longevity. What’s one thing you really don’t want to do today… that you’re going to do anyway? Drop it in the comments. Let’s build that aMCC together.
