woow thank you @zyx066! fot taking the time to write such a kind response! I thought that this would be something that interests you, knowing the types of topics that you like to write about.

I'm definitely fascinated by the mind - our strongest and weakest asset.

You brought up such a good point about the dopamine shooting up when we see a 'like'. This all goes back to evolutionary psychology and the evolution of our social behavior. We love feeling validated, and a lot of our behavior is centered around achieving validation at every opportunity.

I cant say that i'm mindful all the time, my mind also drifts and i say and do things that seem instinctively right at the time, but then later i realize that i was speaking in absolutes and with the kind of certainty that i shouldn't have if i'm honest...

There is actually a really great interview that i just remembered: It was Sam Harris interviewing Joseph Goldstein about the effects of meditation and how it helps people experience that separation between the ego, mind, and develop the better awareness of reality - also making your brain have more "eureka" moments ...

. its truly fascinating - a scientific approach to meditation, mindfulness, all that good stuff :)

I will definitely let you know when i publish part 2. Thank you again! <3
