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!

Sure !
Here we go for a #thread !
What were obstacles and traps when I started in astrophotography, or in general: "What should I pay attention to, when I begin in astrophotography?"
Well, first, a little advisory:
I really can tell what kind of problems you encounter when you begin because...
I'm still beginning 😬😬
So!
The first issue for me have been: I did not know my camera well and what it can do.
Almost any camera can do at least a nice astro landscape.
With the right settings, you could even capture the milky way with a high-end smartphone.

THREAD ⬇️ 118 million midterm votes have been certified, meaning that more than half of eligible Americans cast a ballot. That’s the highest turnout in a midterm election in a century.

Here's what that turnout actually looked like
Voter turnout increased in House races across the country from 2014 to 2018, and the vast majority shifted left
The president’s party typically loses seats in midterms. Trump saw House Republicans lose a net of 40 seats in 2018 even as they gained 2 in the Senate.

Democrats lost a net of 63 seats in 2010 when the GOP took control of the House in the first election after Obama took office

THE STATE OF AMERICA 🇺🇸

The 48 contiguous states alone are a 1.9 billion-acre jigsaw puzzle of cities, farms, forests and pastures that Americans use to feed themselves, power their economy and extract value for business and pleasure.
The 10 most productive metropolitan areas alone contributed to about 40 percent of U.S. GDP in 2016.

#Thread on the recent election from Western Kansas #ksleg Representative Adam Smith (adapted to @Twitter from his newsletter here mailchi.mp/b503f6027825/h…)
The election night map showed a significant portion of Kansas blanketed in red and only some of the the highly populated counties showing blue.
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

It's not always black and white... or in this case, red & blue.

The first look at the above map from the Secretary of State's website after the initial election results were complete may leave some Kansans feeling like their voice doesn't matter.

Integrity! Integrity!! Integrity!!! The fact that this is the reason many myopic Nigerians want an obviously inept, outdated, grossly incompetent, nepotistic, ruiner-in-chief dictator, who has no single value for d rule of law, court orders, contemporary style of govt..
#THREAD
...tells a lot about how low we Nigerians sunk in our core values, that a one eyed man is now so heavily worshipped among his perceived or seemingly blind society, that two eyed men who see clearly no longer have a voice or given a chance to speak! How can we...
..worship a man of "integrity" when that is just d most basic of qualifications every normal average citizen of a country shld have? When did jst mouthed, albeit unproven deceptive integrity become a reason for someone to serve in office? Are we not all supposed 2have integrity?
