Does overusing AI make you feel a little dumb?

 Reading is the ultimate antidote👇


Thanks to the brilliant Tara Vracevic for the visual!

 In the era of AI, we all need to be vigilant about how we use our brains.

 Consuming short-form content and using AI are becoming our go-to leisure activities.  

 And reading is the best defence we have against a total descent into a world of slop.

 Here are 10 reasons why reading is a non-negotiable for me:

 1️⃣ It sharpens your brain

 Studies show it can slow cognitive decline and even help prevent dementia.

 2️⃣ It reduces stress

 A good book pulls you out of your head and into another world, calming the nervous system.

 3️⃣ It expands your vocabulary

 The more you read, the more words you learn and can draw from.

 4️⃣ It strengthens memory

 Following characters, plotlines, and ideas trains your brain to hold information.

 5️⃣ It builds analytical thinking

 Reading forces you to interpret, question, and connect ideas.

 6️⃣ It improves focus

 Reading is one of the few activities that trains sustained attention.

 (And we can all use more of that these days!)

 7️⃣ It makes you a better writer

 Reading helps you learn about voice, structure, and rhythm.

8️⃣ It fuels creativity

 The more you read, the more raw material your brain has to reinterpret into something new.

 9️⃣ It gives you perspective

 Books put you inside other people's lives, minds, and experiences.  That’s empathy.

🔟 It's the best defence against AI slop

 You can quickly identify mediocre AI content if you know what great writing looks like. I’m not saying you need to pick up a copy of War and Peace.

 Daily reading can be incorporated into your life in a variety of ways. A mere 20 minutes a day can have a significant impact on your thinking, feeling, and perception. There is poetry on Instagram, essays on Substack, and newsletters in absolutely every niche you can imagine.

 Don't let your brain go to waste on whatever you fancy. You only get the one.

Likendin is world's largest professional networking platform.

LinkedIn Used to Be Useful LinkedIn has long been recognized as the world's largest professional networking platform.  Since its launch in 2003, it has helped millions of people build careers, connect with employers, and share professional knowledge.  For many years, LinkedIn was considered one of the most valuable tools for job seekers, recruiters, and business professionals.  However, in recent years, many users have begun to feel that LinkedIn is not as useful as it once was.  While the platform still offers many benefits, changing trends and user behavior have altered its original purpose.  One of the biggest reasons people believe LinkedIn has become less useful is the increase in social media-style content.  Instead of sharing career advice, industry news, or professional achievements, many users now post personal stories, motivational quotes, and content designed to gain likes and comments.  Although these posts may inspire some readers, t...

Rabies-infected dog bites can be fatal, if not vaccinated on time.

As stated previously, the dog biting cannot be cured here. Rabies-infected dog bites can be fatal if not vaccinated on time.  Because of this, these dogs require proper management. We should be cautious of aggressive dogs.  A complete rabies vaccine should be given after any dog bite. It doesn't mean all dogs that bite humans are infected with rabies.  A dog that is abused by humans, trapped in a cage, or tied since birth can also be aggressive.  They can bite even if they are injured or sick.  But not all dogs bite.  How did the phrase "dog bite" come to be? People with limited intellect and education, such as ourselves, who do not comprehend dog behavior, tendencies, or inability to coexist, will say, "Dog bites." ’  Usually, a dog doesn't bite in a situation where it is not rabid, not injured, not harassed, not overwhelmed by hunger and thirst, not abused, and not scared.  We spread hatred toward the dogs whenever one of them appears to ...
