CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

Many are praying to a God they quietly resent.

#thread
The low currency of resentment comes from an insidious frustration we experience from trying so hard without permanent success to conform to His standards of good behaviour and conduct.
The way we were taught already destined us to doomsday. On the one hand, we know we need Him, but on the other, we are crippled by our repetitive failure to obey His commandments - commandments we were told were fundamental to His acceptance of us.

#Fight4Naija
Today is an exciting day for this campaign as we will be sharing the most important issue in our ambitious plan for Nigeria that shows our readiness to govern from Day One. I will be telling you how we intend to lift 80 million Nigerians out of poverty. #Fight4Naija
We expect citizens to hold us to account for every word we say and every promise we make, not just on our innovative solutions for tackling poverty which I would be sharing today, but on our entire manifesto to be released to the public on Friday. #Fight4Naija

#Thread: Rough translation on Rajini's recent statement on RMM activities.

I'd like to clarify the false rumors stating RMM works are happening without my permission. All activities regarding RMM are happening with my knowledge & permission.

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution
Already by last year May month, I said that "I won't allow people near me who have thoughts of getting posts & earning money when I enter politics. So, those people stay away right now."

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution #Thread #Rajinikanth
Didn't say it for word-sake. We are entering politics to bring out a new political culture for a good political change. If we've to do politics like others, why should we enter politics?

(THREAD) This thread provides live updates on any newsworthy events in Attorney General Sessions' public testimony before Congress today. I hope you'll follow along and share this tweet.
1/ Sessions says to his knowledge Papadopoulos was not authorized by the Trump campaign to speak to any foreign government on behalf on the campaign. In fact, Papadopoulos repeatedly spoke to the governments of Greece and the UK on the campaign's behalf and the campaign knew it.
2/ Sessions is saying he knew nothing of Papadopoulos speaking to UK officials in September and November 2016, and nothing of Papadopoulos speaking to Greek officials in May (twice) and December 2016. This *breaks* credulity, given his role as Trump's foreign policy/NatSec chief.
