What I've learned, Does Instagram Lower your Testosterone?

Does Instagram Lower your Testosterone?

the bad thing about television is that

everybody you see

on television is doing something better

than what you're doing

if you look at the increase in brain

size leading to the advent of humans

you'll notice that brain size suddenly

started to increase rapidly

around 2 million years ago it's a bit of

a mystery what we exactly needed all

that brain power for

though british anthropologist robin

dunbar proposes that the brain grew so

large

to keep up with the complex social

demands put on the brain

social dynamics are incredibly important

to primates and people of course

if you've ever felt awkward at a party

excited during a date or incredibly

stressed during a business meeting

you'll know that social interactions can

drastically change

the internal state of our bodies

science has found that a 5 to 15 minute

conversation with an unfamiliar woman

can raise a man's testosterone

exercise releases feel-good endorphins

but

exercising in a group releases more of

these endorphins

sports fans get a testosterone rise just

from seeing

their team win and men experience a drop

or rise in testosterone when they

experience some sort of social defeat

or social victory what's interesting is

how status directly affects

testosterone levels studies on rams and

primates

has found that you can understand quite

accurately where each

male ram or monkey falls on the social

status hierarchy

just by comparing their testosterone

levels

higher status means higher testosterone

and yes in humans

it's been found that a man's status

within an organization

correlates with his testosterone for

example a ceo

would have higher testosterone than a

manager

while not everyone likes to admit it we

all keep stock of who we feel is higher

or lower in status compared to ourselves

monkeys are so concerned with status

that they will in fact pay monkey

currency

cherry juice to see pictures of higher

status male

monkeys or attractive female monkeys

now if you've found yourself on

instagram paying your time and attention

to cooler people doing

cooler stuff than you maybe you know how

these monkeys feel

if you think about it it makes sense for

monkeys to be preoccupied with what's

going on with higher status monkeys

if you don't pay attention and overstep

your bounds and anger a high-ranked

monkey

this could provoke an attack so for me

while understanding what's going on with

dan bilzerian or ryan reynolds will not

benefit me in any way

some part of my brain still keeps me

interested in what these high status

people are doing

it seems that instagram is scratching an

itch that is naturally hardwired into

our brains

yet a survey of almost 1500 british

people aged

14 to 24 suggests that of the different

social media platforms

instagram has the most negative effect

on mental health

this got me interested in instagram's

potential effect on testosterone

lately it seems like men are really

interested in optimizing their

testosterone

with good reason higher testosterone is

associated with more muscle

less fat stronger bones and increased

confidence and better mood

there's all kinds of supplements diet

plans and workout plans

that are supposed to increase

testosterone so sure you could eat more

cholesterol and healthy fats

do sprints and leg workouts but i feel

that how

social dynamics affect testosterone is

not as often talked about

testosterone is very responsive to winds

testosterone raises after all kinds of

wins when you win

money win at sports or when at chess

your testosterone will raise

one study even found hockey players

experiencing a 40

rise in testosterone just from watching

a video

of them winning a past game i don't do

it for the fight i freaking hate to

fight

i like to fight in a cage and one

million of people maybe get humiliated

knocked out

i don't like to fight are you nuts i

like to win when you win you're

it's the feeling is unbelievable it's so

good that

it's worth this yeah testosterone has

been shown to raise men's interest in

women

and at the same time testosterone makes

people more comfortable with directly

greeting

and engaging with strangers so

testosterone changes your behavior in

all kinds of ways

it makes you more likely to engage in

so-called dominance challenges

master of the house

ready with the handshake down chorus boy

and if you win these dominance

challenges then

it will raise your testosterone even

further

a common dominance challenge for

primates including humans

is maintaining angry eye contact

so uh steve would do this as well he'd

say so hector

um so you're really you're really close

with your dad huh

gotta hold the gaze don't say anything

people get so uncomfortable

so is his litmus test to determine if

you're a bozo or not unsurprisingly the

very highly socially ranked billionaire

and face of

apple steve jobs exhibited high

testosterone-like behaviors

like a primal staring contest

so what would raise testosterone more

supplements and exercise or beating your

boss in some sort of sales competition

and getting a promotion and a raise

or how much would defeating your

opponent in a physical dominus challenge

and then raising your social rank

increase your testosterone

there's some interesting research on

testosterone and social anxiety social

anxiety could be characterized as a

very drastic form of subordination that

is

you perceive your status to be so low

that you subordinate yourself to most

everyone and new people become scary

so primates and humans like steve jobs

assert dominance by maintaining

angry eye contact until the opponent

averts their gaze

socially anxious people are especially

uncomfortable with eye contact

yet researchers found that giving

socially anxious people testosterone

drastically increases how comfortable

they are

with staring back at an angry face

also women with social anxiety have been

found to have lower testosterone

and other studies found that giving

people testosterone increases these

so-called

dominance behaviors behaviors that are

essentially the opposite

of socially anxious subordination

behaviors

now defeat can be a depressing cycle

literally as this paper points out

maintaining social hierarchies is

generally cyclical

where repeated defeat leads to anxious

behavior

and repeated victory promotes confident

behavior

which would then lead to more social

victories

on the other hand it's easier to lose at

social challenges

if you've already been losing do you

have a job

no you got money no do you have a woman

no you got anything on the horizon

uh no kids who are bullied or victimized

by their peers that is they are

presented with a dominance challenge

and then defeated these kids develop

symptoms of social anxiety

which makes them more likely to be

bullied in the future because they act

more submissive

and submissive kids are more likely to

be bullied

these kids then experience more defeat

perceive themselves as being

lower and lower on the social hierarchy

and they become less comfortable with

new social interactions

they are less confident become more

anxious and have more depressed

mood which are all symptoms of low

testosterone

so this is also why it's very difficult

often when you're trying to treat

someone who's depressed because you

could say there's not much difference

between being depressed

and existing in the biochemical state

that being at the bottom of the

dominance hierarchy would produce

well then the question is are you

depressed or are you

just at the bottom of a dominance

hierarchy that like the

the symptomatology is very very similar

in fact giving depressed men

testosterone in the form of a gel

has been found to have an antidepressant

effect on them

unfortunately low testosterone has all

kinds of other negative effects

including a worsened body composition

that is more fat

and less muscle so the point here

is that experiencing social defeat and

being lower on the social hierarchy

usually means lower testosterone

so here's what i'm wondering does

scrolling through a feed of people

who are more successful richer more

muscular

better looking and doing cooler things

than you make you perceive yourself

as lower in the social hierarchy and

then lower your testosterone

comparing ourselves to others is a

natural tendency for people

and it can have an effect on our

happiness just like a monkey being

pissed when his colleague gets a grape

whereas he only gets a stupid cucumber

this study titled keeping up with the

joneses found that people's satisfaction

with their salaries

is not totally based on just how much

money they're getting

but how much more money or how much less

money

they're getting compared to the people

they know

so then how many people should we be

comparing ourselves to

the other interesting thing about robin

dunbar's research is that his work

calculates that there is a cognitive

limit to the amount of friends

or acquaintances our brains can keep

track of and that limit

is 150 people dunbar gives several

examples of human groups hitting a limit

of between 100

and 200 people for example

looking at the census data of around 20

hunter-gatherer tribes

the mean tribe size was 153 people

the estimated size of english villages

in 1086 according to the dome state book

was around

150. dunbar and a colleague examined the exchange of christmas cards in the uk

and found that the maximum christmas

card network was 153 people

then a 2008 study gathering data from 18

000 brides found that the average number

of wedding guests at a wedding

was 148. naturally we probably can't

help but compare ourselves to those 150

people we know

and then establish mentally where we

rank in the different social hierarchies

these people belong to sure new people

would come and go

but how does it affect us to pick up our

phones and expose ourselves to the lives

of hundreds of people a week

and then have to calculate theirs and

our positions

on the social hierarchy

going back to the study that found that

monkeys would pay cherry juice to see

high-ranked males

they found that when it came to lower

ranked males

those monkeys would not pay at all to

see them

in fact the researchers had to bribe the

monkeys with cherry juice to get them to

even

look at the lower ranked monkeys now

let's be honest

do any of you browse instagram for

accounts of random

non-artistic average looking strangers

with average jobs

we're mostly going to look at instagram

accounts of people who we feel to be

higher status in us

and maybe meme accounts so is spending

your time looking at higher status

people

going to make you feel like you're

higher or lower on the social hierarchy

to my knowledge there's no study looking

at how instagram directly affects your

testosterone

but my point is that we should consider

testosterone to be a positive feedback

loop like spinning a wheel you can do

things that add momentum and spin the

wheel faster

or you can do things that apply the

brakes a little bit

testosterone is cyclical if your

testosterone is higher

your mood should be better and you'll

have more motivation to go to the gym

which helps maintain a healthy body

composition

and exercise as well as having a healthy

body composition

are linked to higher testosterone

in general men with higher testosterone

seem to earn more money

and specifically a study on stock

brokers found that they were more

successful

on the days that their testosterone was

higher money then gives rise to a

perception of success which is a

component of prestige

and higher prestige is associated with

higher testosterone

and as mentioned earlier men with higher

testosterone are more likely to interact

with women they're attracted to

and interacting with women raises men's

testosterone

in short raising testosterone makes it

easier

to do the things that will further raise

testosterone

unfortunately having lower testosterone

will make it easier to be in the

situations

that lower your testosterone further

so i'd say to just keep an eye on how

instagram makes you feel

if you feel no difference between using

instagram and not using it

maybe it doesn't have such a negative

effect on your psyche or your physiology

but let's say you're feeling good

feeling like a winner feeling kind of

like

someone with high testosterone because

of your success at the gym

work or in your social life or at chess

and then you go on instagram

and see someone else who is winning so

much harder than you

at that thing if that makes you feel

less like a winner

and worsens your mood maybe you should

give

instagram a break

now i'm not gonna lie i have it on

instagram so if you'd like to be jealous

of the oysters or

goosefish liver i'm eating or the papers

or books i'm reading

feel free to follow me you can also find

me on twitter and if you'd like to keep

up with other things i'm reading about

be sure to sign up for my newsletter or

for my patreon

a study is done on 250 people who claim

they have psychic

abilities a regular deck of cards has an

equal number of red and black

cards the deck is shuffled and each

person predicts the color of the card on

top

then they take a look and see if they're

right this is repeated eight

times in a row one participant gets

all eight predictions correct the

researcher claims that this person

has indeed exhibited psychic abilities

so based on just the way the experiment

is designed

is the researcher's claim a viable

hypothesis

to cooler people doing круче людей делающих

cooler stuff than you maybe you know how круче вещей, чем вы, может быть, вы знаете, как

these monkeys feel

if you think about it it makes sense for

monkeys to be preoccupied with what's 猴子全神貫注於什麼

going on with higher status monkeys

if you don't pay attention and overstep если не обратить внимания и перешагнуть

this could provoke an attack so for me это может спровоцировать приступ, так что для меня

while understanding what's going on with

dan bilzerian or ryan reynolds will not Дэн Билзерян или Райан Рейнольдс не будут

benefit me in any way принести мне пользу в любом случае

some part of my brain still keeps me какая-то часть моего мозга все еще держит меня

interested in what these high status интересно, что эти высокие статусы

people are doing

it seems that instagram is scratching an кажется, что инстаграм царапает

itch that is naturally hardwired into зуд, который естественным образом заложен в

our brains

yet a survey of almost 1500 british еще опрос почти 1500 британских

people aged люди в возрасте

14 to 24 suggests that of the different 14-24 предполагает, что разные

social media platforms

instagram has the most negative effect

on mental health

this got me interested in instagram's

potential effect on testosterone

lately it seems like men are really

interested in optimizing their

testosterone

with good reason higher testosterone is по уважительной причине более высокий тестостерон

associated with more muscle связано с большим количеством мышц

less fat stronger bones and increased

confidence and better mood

there's all kinds of supplements diet есть все виды пищевых добавок

plans and workout plans планы и планы тренировок

that are supposed to increase которые должны увеличиваться

testosterone so sure you could eat more

cholesterol and healthy fats

do sprints and leg workouts but i feel делать спринты и тренировки ног, но я чувствую 做短跑和腿部鍛煉,但我覺得

that how вот как

social dynamics affect testosterone is социальная динамика влияет на тестостерон

not as often talked about не так часто говорят о

testosterone is very responsive to winds 睪固酮對風非常敏感

testosterone raises after all kinds of Тестостерон повышается после всех видов

wins when you win выигрывает, когда ты выигрываешь

money win at sports or when at chess деньги выигрывают в спорте или когда в шахматы

your testosterone will raise ваш тестостерон поднимется

one study even found hockey players одно исследование даже нашло хоккеистов

experiencing a 40 испытывает 40

rise in testosterone just from watching повышение тестостерона только от просмотра

a video

of them winning a past game i don't do из них выиграть прошлую игру я не делаю

it for the fight i freaking hate to это для боя я чертовски ненавижу

fight

i like to fight in a cage and one я люблю драться в клетке и один

million of people maybe get humiliated миллионы людей могут быть унижены 數百萬人可能會受到羞辱

knocked out нокаутированный 被踢出

i don't like to fight are you nuts i я не люблю драться ты с ума сошел?

like to win when you win you're

it's the feeling is unbelievable it's so

good that

it's worth this yeah testosterone has оно того стоит да тестостерон есть

been shown to raise men's interest in

women

and at the same time testosterone makes

people more comfortable with directly

greeting

and engaging with strangers so и общаться с незнакомцами так

testosterone changes your behavior in тестостерон меняет ваше поведение в

all kinds of ways всевозможные способы

it makes you more likely to engage in это повышает вероятность того, что вы будете заниматься

so-called dominance challenges так называемые проблемы доминирования 所謂的統治地位挑戰

master of the house хозяин дома

ready with the handshake down chorus boy готов с рукопожатием вниз хор мальчик

and if you win these dominance

challenges then

it will raise your testosterone even

further

a common dominance challenge for

primates including humans

is maintaining angry eye contact

so uh steve would do this as well he'd так что Стив тоже сделал бы это, он бы

say so hector скажи так Гектор 赫克托這麼說

um so you're really you're really close

with your dad huh

gotta hold the gaze don't say anything должен задержать взгляд, ничего не говори

people get so uncomfortable

so is his litmus test to determine if zo is zijn lakmoesproef om te bepalen of

you're a bozo or not unsurprisingly the je bent een bozo of niet niet verrassend de ты бозо или не удивительно

very highly socially ranked billionaire

and face of

apple steve jobs exhibited high яблоко стив джобс выставлено высоко

testosterone-like behaviors тестостероноподобное поведение

like a primal staring contest как первобытный конкурс в гляделки 就像一場原始的凝視比賽

so what would raise testosterone more так что бы поднять тестостерон больше

supplements and exercise or beating your добавки и упражнения или избиение вашего

boss in some sort of sales competition босс в каком-то соревновании по продажам

and getting a promotion and a raise и получить продвижение по службе и повышение

or how much would defeating your или сколько бы победа над вашим

opponent in a physical dominus challenge tegenstander in een fysieke dominus-uitdaging противник в физическом вызове доминуса

and then raising your social rank

increase your testosterone

there's some interesting research on

testosterone and social anxiety social

anxiety could be characterized as a

very drastic form of subordination that очень жесткая форма подчинения, которая 非常激烈的從屬形式

is

you perceive your status to be so low 你覺得自己的地位很低

that you subordinate yourself to most 你讓自己服從大多數人

everyone and new people become scary

so primates and humans like steve jobs

assert dominance by maintaining утвердить господство, поддерживая

angry eye contact until the opponent гневный зрительный контакт, пока противник

averts their gaze отводит взгляд

socially anxious people are especially социально тревожные люди особенно

uncomfortable with eye contact

yet researchers found that giving однако исследователи обнаружили, что предоставление

socially anxious people testosterone социально тревожные люди тестостерон

drastically increases how comfortable резко повышает удобство

they are

with staring back at an angry face глядя на сердитое лицо

also women with social anxiety have been также женщины с социальной тревожностью были

found to have lower testosterone обнаружено пониженное содержание тестостерона

and other studies found that giving и другие исследования показали, что предоставление

people testosterone increases these у людей тестостерон увеличивает эти

so-called так называемые

dominance behaviors behaviors that are dominantie gedragingen die zijn доминантное поведение поведение, которое

essentially the opposite по сути наоборот

of socially anxious subordination социально тревожного подчинения

behaviors

now defeat can be a depressing cycle теперь поражение может быть удручающим циклом

literally as this paper points out буквально, как указывает эта статья

maintaining social hierarchies is поддержание социальной иерархии

generally cyclical в целом циклично

where repeated defeat leads to anxious где повторное поражение приводит к тревоге

behavior поведение

and repeated victory promotes confident

behavior поведение

which would then lead to more social что затем привело бы к более социальному

victories победы

on the other hand it's easier to lose at с другой стороны, легче проиграть в

social challenges

if you've already been losing do you если ты уже проигрывал

have a job

no you got money no do you have a woman нет у тебя денег нет у тебя есть женщина

no you got anything on the horizon нет у тебя ничего на горизонте 不,你有什麼即將發生的事情

uh no kids who are bullied or victimized нет детей, над которыми издеваются или преследуют 呃,沒有孩子被欺負或受害

by their peers that is they are своими сверстниками, то есть они 透過他們的同齡人,他們是

presented with a dominance challenge

and then defeated these kids develop

symptoms of social anxiety

which makes them more likely to be

bullied in the future because they act

more submissive более покорный 更順從

and submissive kids are more likely to

be bullied

these kids then experience more defeat

perceive themselves as being воспринимают себя как

lower and lower on the social hierarchy

and they become less comfortable with и они становятся менее удобными с

new social interactions

they are less confident become more они менее уверены в себе, становятся более

anxious and have more depressed тревожны и более подавлены

mood which are all symptoms of low

testosterone

so this is also why it's very difficult

often when you're trying to treat часто, когда вы пытаетесь лечить

someone who's depressed because you кто-то в депрессии из-за тебя

could say there's not much difference

between being depressed между депрессией

and existing in the biochemical state и находящиеся в биохимическом состоянии

that being at the bottom of the

dominance hierarchy would produce

well then the question is are you

depressed or are you

just at the bottom of a dominance только в нижней части господства

hierarchy that like the

the symptomatology is very very similar de symptomatologie lijkt erg op elkaar

in fact giving depressed men

testosterone in the form of a gel testosteron in de vorm van een gel

has been found to have an antidepressant 已被發現具有抗憂鬱藥

effect on them

unfortunately low testosterone has all

kinds of other negative effects

including a worsened body composition 包括身體組成惡化

that is more fat

and less muscle so the point here

is that experiencing social defeat and

being lower on the social hierarchy

usually means lower testosterone

so here's what i'm wondering does так вот что мне интересно

scrolling through a feed of people листать ленту людей 滾動瀏覽人們的動態

who are more successful richer more кто успешнее богаче больше

muscular

better looking and doing cooler things лучше выглядеть и делать крутые вещи

than you make you perceive yourself чем ты заставляешь себя воспринимать

as lower in the social hierarchy and

then lower your testosterone

comparing ourselves to others is a

natural tendency for people

and it can have an effect on our и это может повлиять на нашу

happiness just like a monkey being счастье как у обезьяны

pissed when his colleague gets a grape злится, когда его коллега получает виноград

whereas he only gets a stupid cucumber тогда как он получает только глупый огурец

this study titled keeping up with the это исследование под названием «Идти в ногу с 這項研究的標題是「跟上

joneses found that people's satisfaction joneses ontdekte dat mensen tevreden zijn Джонс обнаружил, что удовлетворенность людей 瓊斯發現人們的滿意度

with their salaries с их зарплатами

is not totally based on just how much полностью не зависит от того, насколько

money they're getting

but how much more money or how much less но насколько больше денег или насколько меньше

money

they're getting compared to the people их сравнивают с людьми

they know они знают

so then how many people should we be так сколько же людей мы должны быть

comparing ourselves to сравнивая себя с

the other interesting thing about robin еще одна интересная вещь о робине

dunbar's research is that his work исследования Данбара заключается в том, что его работа

calculates that there is a cognitive вычисляет, что существует когнитивный

limit to the amount of friends ограничение на количество друзей

or acquaintances our brains can keep или знакомые, которые наш мозг может сохранить

track of and that limit отслеживать и этот предел

is 150 people dunbar gives several это 150 человек Данбар дает несколько

examples of human groups hitting a limit примеры человеческих групп, достигших предела

of between 100 от 100

and 200 people for example и 200 человек например

looking at the census data of around 20 查看大約 20 個國家的人口普查數據

hunter-gatherer tribes 狩獵採集部落

the mean tribe size was 153 people 部落平均人數為 153 人

the estimated size of english villages 英國村莊的估計規模

in 1086 according to the dome state book в 1086 году по купольной государственной книге 根據圓頂國家書,1086年

was around 在附近

150\. dunbar and a colleague examined the 150\\. Данбар и его коллега исследовали exchange of christmas cards in the uk обмен рождественскими открытками в великобритании

and found that the maximum christmas и обнаружил, что максимальное рождество

card network was 153 people карточная сеть составила 153 человека

then a 2008 study gathering data from 18 затем исследование 2008 года, в котором были собраны данные 18

000 brides found that the average number 000 невест обнаружили, что среднее число 000位新娘發現平均人數

of wedding guests at a wedding свадебных гостей на свадьбе

was 148. naturally we probably can't было 148. естественно мы наверное не можем 是148.自然我們可能不能

help but compare ourselves to those 150 помогите, но сравните себя с теми 150 不妨將自己與那 150 個人比較

people we know

and then establish mentally where we а затем установить мысленно, где мы

rank in the different social hierarchies место в разных социальных иерархиях

these people belong to sure new people эти люди принадлежат уверенным новым людям

would come and go придет и уйдет

but how does it affect us to pick up our но как это влияет на нас, чтобы забрать наши

phones and expose ourselves to the lives телефоны и подвергать себя жизни

of hundreds of people a week сотни человек в неделю

and then have to calculate theirs and а затем должны вычислить их и

our positions

on the social hierarchy по социальной иерархии

going back to the study that found that возвращаясь к исследованию, которое обнаружило, что

monkeys would pay cherry juice to see

high-ranked males

they found that when it came to lower они обнаружили, что когда дело доходит до снижения

ranked males ранжированные мужчины

those monkeys would not pay at all to эти обезьяны вообще не будут платить

see them увидеть их

in fact the researchers had to bribe the фактически исследователям пришлось подкупить

monkeys with cherry juice to get them to

even

look at the lower ranked monkeys now

let's be honest будем честны

do any of you browse instagram for кто-нибудь из вас просматривает инстаграм для

accounts of random

non-artistic average looking strangers неартистичные незнакомцы средней внешности 不具備藝術天賦的普通陌生人

with average jobs

we're mostly going to look at instagram мы в основном будем смотреть инстаграм

accounts of people who we feel to be

higher status in us

and maybe meme accounts so is spending

your time looking at higher status

people

going to make you feel like you're

higher or lower on the social hierarchy

to my knowledge there's no study looking

at how instagram directly affects your как инстаграм напрямую влияет на ваш

testosterone

but my point is that we should consider но я хочу сказать, что мы должны рассмотреть

testosterone to be a positive feedback

loop like spinning a wheel you can do loop like spinning a wheel you can do петля, как вращение колеса, вы можете сделать

things that add momentum and spin the вещи, которые добавляют импульс и раскручивают

wheel faster колесо быстрее

or you can do things that apply the

brakes a little bit немного тормозит

testosterone is cyclical if your тестостерон цикличен, если ваш

testosterone is higher

your mood should be better and you'll

have more motivation to go to the gym

which helps maintain a healthy body

composition

and exercise as well as having a healthy

body composition

are linked to higher testosterone связаны с более высоким уровнем тестостерона

in general men with higher testosterone

seem to earn more money вроде больше зарабатываешь

and specifically a study on stock

brokers found that they were more брокеры обнаружили, что они были более

successful

on the days that their testosterone was в те дни, когда их тестостерон был

higher money then gives rise to a

perception of success which is a представление об успехе, которое

component of prestige составляющая престижа

and higher prestige is associated with а более высокий престиж связан с

higher testosterone

and as mentioned earlier men with higher и, как упоминалось ранее, мужчины с более высоким

testosterone are more likely to interact тестостерон более склонен к взаимодействию

with women they're attracted to

and interacting with women raises men's

testosterone

in short raising testosterone makes it

easier

to do the things that will further raise

testosterone

unfortunately having lower testosterone к сожалению, у меня низкий тестостерон

will make it easier to be in the будет легче находиться в

situations

that lower your testosterone further

so i'd say to just keep an eye on how поэтому я бы сказал, чтобы просто следить за тем, как

instagram makes you feel

if you feel no difference between using

instagram and not using it

maybe it doesn't have such a negative

effect on your psyche or your physiology

but let's say you're feeling good

feeling like a winner feeling kind of чувствую себя победителем

like

someone with high testosterone because

of your success at the gym

work or in your social life or at chess

and then you go on instagram

and see someone else who is winning so

much harder than you

at that thing if that makes you feel на эту вещь, если это заставляет вас чувствовать

less like a winner меньше похож на победителя

and worsens your mood maybe you should en je humeur verslechtert, misschien zou je dat moeten doen и ухудшает ваше настроение, может быть, вы должны

give

instagram a break

now i'm not gonna lie i have it on

instagram so if you'd like to be jealous инстаграм так что если хочешь ревновать

of the oysters or устриц или

goosefish liver i'm eating or the papers ganzenvislever die ik aan het eten ben of de kranten

or books i'm reading

a study is done on 250 people who claim

they have psychic

abilities a regular deck of cards has an

equal number of red and black

cards the deck is shuffled and each карты колода перемешивается и каждая

person predicts the color of the card on

top

then they take a look and see if they're

right this is repeated eight правильно это повторяется восемь

times in a row one participant gets раз подряд один участник получает

all eight predictions correct the все восемь предсказаний верны

researcher claims that this person исследователь утверждает, что этот человек

has indeed exhibited psychic abilities действительно проявил экстрасенсорные способности

so based on just the way the experiment так основано на том, как эксперимент

is designed

is the researcher's claim a viable is de claim van de onderzoeker een levensvatbare является ли утверждение исследователя жизнеспособным

hypothesis гипотеза
