I experienced “the curse of knowledge” while raising my son. I would get upset with him when he does certain things. Only later to understand that he doesn’t know the things I know and that he’s in the process of learning, so have patience and teach him right from wrong

Hi Guys, I just wanted to give a shoutout to The Paint Explainer channel for the inspiration behind this video. Not totally sure if they're the pioneers of this style of videos, but it's important to give credit where it's due, right? Hope it was a useful video.

Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.

Zooming out, the reason why this information isn’t more widely known/taught is because this is literally how a lot of industries use these as psychological tactics to make more profit (in my experience/opinion).

[MMLanoue]
