8 HIDDEN GROK COMMANDS THAT 90% OF USERS DON’T KNOW

Most people use GROK like this:
“Write a post,”
“Make a list,”
“Explain this…”

But if you’re doing that, you’re missing out on 90% of its real power.

Here are 8 advanced commands that will make GROK work at its full potential:
1️⃣ “Act as…” – Turns GROK into any expert.
→ Generic prompts give weak answers. Defining a clear role improves results dramatically.
→ Example: “Act as a luxury brand marketer. Develop a high-end product promotion strategy.”
2️⃣ “Break this answer down into 3 levels: beginner, advanced, expert.”
→ You get a response tailored to different skill levels.
→ Perfect for learning, articles, scripts, and marketing.

The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/
nytimes.com/2026/01/15/vid…
Not many media outlets have specialized video analysis teams. CNN posted a video last week that showed Ross crossing in front of Good's car, but they missed the significance. The NYT's multicamera, frame-by-frame analysis is what's needed to understand. 2/
The NYT gets exactly right those parts of the sequence this account had separately verified, including 1) Ross switches his phone from R to L hand as he leans into his own car, and 2) Ross places his phone hand on Good's hood. They are solid. 3/

DELETE CANVA. DELETE CAPCUT.

"Create 10 content design concepts for my niche [insert]. Describe the layout, color style, typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy. Include export instructions so that ChatGPT can generate the final designs."
2. The Post-Ready Graphic Prompt

“Generate a clean and modern graphic based on this idea [paste text]. Include header, subtitle, layout structure, spacing, and a visual style consistent with my brand.”

A "Paradox" is a statement that seems contradictory but actually contains a hidden truth.

Once you see them, your worldview changes forever.

Here are my 10 favorite mind-bending paradoxes that will upgrade your thinking & decision making: 🧵

1. The Paradox of Choice Image
1. The Paradox of Choice:

Logic says more options = more freedom. Psychology says more options = anxiety and analysis paralysis.

When you have too many choices, you are less likely to pick one, and less satisfied with the one you do pick.

Constraints create creativity. Image
2. The Stockdale Paradox:

Named after Admiral James Stockdale, a prisoner of war for 7 years.

He survived by doing two contradictory things:

• Maintaining faith that he would prevail in the end.
• Confronting the brutal facts of his current reality.

Blind optimism kills. Image

I’ve reversed insulin resistance in hundreds of clients in 90 days.

Not with calorie counting. Not with more exercise.

But by understanding 10 insulin facts your doctor never explains.

Here’s the blueprint: Image
If insulin is dysregulated, your body is signaled to store fat.

You’re not lacking willpower.
You’re fighting biology.

That’s why “eat less, move more” keeps failing.
Unmanaged insulin resistance leads to:

• Brain fog
• Joint pain
• Faster ageing
• Fat gain despite dieting
• Energy crashes after meals

This isn’t just about weight.
It’s about your healthspan.

Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?

You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.

At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”

The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.

Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction — moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.

It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.

And that deliberate, cutting language paired with emotional steadiness is precisely why the words still land nearly 250 years later. 🧵
The information in this thread comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.

For all the sources and details, read the full report below. 👇

midwesterndoctor.com/p/heart-center…
Have you ever noticed that you can feel a writer’s inner state long before you consciously process their words?

Some writing carries clarity and calm, while some carries tension, bitterness, or fear—even when the facts are correct.

That emotional transmission isn’t accidental. It’s the internal state of the writer seeping out from the words and into the reader.

That’s the foundation of heart-centered writing.Image

1) One of my jobs as an educator is to constantly remind people---not in a rote Hannity way---but just kind of, "Hey, don't forget . . ." So, recall for two months now I've been saying that the Skinny Minny fraud was "it." As Sanford used to say, "Elizabeth. This is the big one."
2) Why is this so different? For two big reasons. First, Minny is a minor league Kollyfornia. This is the prosecutors' normal method of going after the weak corner drug dealer before taking on El Estupido, the leader. Second, the sheer NUMBER of Fed agencies and departments. .
2) contd. . . tells you that they are serious---not just Bondi and DOJ, but DHS, Dept. of Ag, Dept. of Commerce (trucking); Dept of Transpo (ditto); Treasury (fraudulent use of mails); DoEd (fraudulent use of ed funds.) Today, Dr. Oz and Medicare/Medicaid weighed in.

Black ppl are trying to mimic the things they envy about whites without understanding the processes that enabled those things to exist. People often ask me about “solutions” to the problems black ppl face, and to me, here is the main solution.

This thread explains that solution.
Thales was the first person to attempt to explain the world naturally, rather than using God or myth. In Babylon, Egypt, Persia, and the Greeks before Thales, phenomena were explained through myth and divine order. Thales broke free from this pattern in humanity. Image
Thales was also the first person to create a mathematical proof. Pamphile, an Egyptian woman known for being the first female historian, said that Thales was the first to inscribe in a circle a right-angle triangle, and attributed to him the creation of a proof. Image

Simit Parasına Cennet
Günün son dersinin sonuna gelinmişti. Öğrenciler çıkmak için sabırsızlanıyordu.Defter ve kitaplarını çantalarına koydular. Zil çalar çalmaz,dışarı çıkmak için hazırdılar.Yalnız,Ali hazırlanmamıştı.Gecikmek için de elinden geleni yapıyordu.Nihayet zil çaldı. Image
Öğrenciler bir anda kapıya yöneldi. Ali, yerinden kalkmadı. Ağır ağır eşyasını topladı. Bir yandan göz ucuyla öğretmenine bakıyor, bir yandan da arkadaşlarının gitmesini bekliyordu. Öğretmeni, onun bu halini fark etti: Hayrola Ali, dedi.
Eve gitmeyecek misin? Ali, son arkadaşının da çıktığını görünce cevap verdi: Sizinle konuşmak istiyordum öğretmenim.
– Peki, dedi öğretmeni. Ne söyleyeceksin bakalım?
– Ahmet arkadaşımız var ya…
– Evet, ne olmuş Ahmet’e?
