Hail State 🙌

Your brain shuts your spark off on purpose. Scientists have watched it happen, one neuron at a time, and the same wiring is why it always comes back. Back in 1997, neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz recorded individual dopamine neurons in monkeys and found something strange. The neurons fire hard for an unexpected reward. Once a cue reliably predicts that reward, they go quiet. And when a predicted reward fails to show up, they dip below baseline. Dopamine tracks prediction error, the difference between what your brain expected and what actually happened. Now map that onto your life. The job, the person, the city that once lit you up eventually gets fully modeled by your brain. Nothing got worse. The surprise went to zero, so the firing stopped. That flat, gray feeling is a nervous system that has finished predicting its environment. The dip below baseline is the part most people miss, because it drives the whole cycle. Stanford's Anna Lembke describes pleasure and pain as a balance the brain keeps tipping back toward level. After every peak comes a trough, and the trough is what makes you restless enough to go looking again. So the cycle is structural. Spark, prediction, flatline, restlessness, search, new spark. Your brain runs the loop on its own. The practical move is adding real unpredictability on purpose. A harder problem, a new skill, a room where you're a beginner. Dopamine responds to what your brain can't fully predict, and the moment something qualifies, the spark has somewhere to come from.

life is literally a constant cycle of losing your spark and then finding it again

If we beat Bama I’m getting arrested #HailState

Almost Saturday

Worst thing ever is to be drunk, find pizza and the pizza is ass.

The Battle For Highway 82. 🎙️: @HardyMusic

It’s past time Beat Bama

Never been to Starkvegas…. this is easily the nicest grass field I’ve ever seen.

It doesnt matter if its "day 1" or "some day", just promise yourself that you'll finish what you started.

Been going to AI meet ups in Boston and I've come to the conclusion that I am too terminally online to have any convos offline. We are so fucking early

Southwest cut its routes out of Atlanta by a lot and then Spirit folded and then the surge in gas prices. Delta has no competition in the south. The flights to its other hubs are also insane, look at these prices for end of October. Atlantans are getting hosed!

If you wasnt there for me when I was localhost:3000, dont come around when im https://

Super Kamario is putting up video game numbers 🎮 Kamario Taylor is the first Mississippi State QB to throw 3 TD passes in 4 straight games in a single season. Taylor is tied for the FBS lead in TD passes, including 10 against zone coverage, 3 more than any other player 👏

I love finding out about all the different traditions these colleges have. The cowbell is definitely one of my favourites so far. Thanks for letting me ring it!🔔

The software in @onepeloton is such shit that even AI hasnt fixed their bugs

Never made it as a wise man

Correct

Happy Black Cat month!!!!!! 🐈‍⬛️
