I Taught Rats to Drive. They Taught Me to Enjoy the Ride | Kelly Lambert | TED
What can happy rats teach us about human joy? Behavioral neuroscientist Kelly Lambert describes how her team trained rats to drive tiny cars to earn treats — and noticed something surprising about how effort and anticipation affect the brain. The experiment opens new questions about how reward, agency and “behaviorceuticals” might help build resilience and…

First Truckload of Antimatter Unlocks New Sci-Fi Possibilities
The BASE experiment at CERN, on the France-Switzerland border, is celebrating the first successful transport of antimatter by truck. The newfound ability to transport antimatter offsite will empower scientists to study it in greater detail without interference from the giant magnets that power CERN’s antimatter factory, possibly unlocking hidden truths about the nature of the…

Strongly disagree. When a job is paid well it will attract people that wants to be paid well. We should be aware of who we attract to politics. Who we allow to shape societal values. Sociopaths are overrepresented among CEOs because they are attracted to status and power, I can only guess how politics compare. We should have politicians that goes into politics, purely because they believe in their ideals strongly enough to do so, not because of ANY other reason.

@@RoskildeJonas In most places politicians really don’t get paid all that much. Compared to the average joe, sure, but not when compared to careers the same people could have had in business.

Though what happened to her was wrong and more so sad, she is right, I do not trust politicians. She mentions Nancy and Biden (and even our current Pope). I think we know where her political leanings are. Democracy in America is a sham. I am neither Republican nor Democratic. Deep Fakes could be used to start wars, which would be very bad. However, I also don’t trust politicians to regulate fairly. The Feds will go on to misuse the technology and justify it as “protecting democracy.” Regulations also tend to make it so large companies remain and smaller companies cannot compete nor can smaller ones afford to comply financially with massive regulations and fines.

*_NEVER_* explained how it cost her votes, or *_GAINED_* her votes out of sympathy, all she did was wander around the point aimlessly before getting to what she *_REALLY_* wants: More *_INFRINGEMENTS_* upon free speech
Citing clearly parody videos of *_AMERICAN_* politicians – Nancy Pelosi who is a *_KNOWN_* alcoholic and Joe Biden who *_HAS_* used profanity *_FREQUENTLY_* on “hot mics” – as an excuse to demand more censorship is *_OBSCENE_*
A person can only be “fooled” by doctored imagery, regardless of source, if they *_ALLOW_* themselves to be by being swayed by confirmation bias and not exercising proper scrutiny
