    Supercharge Your Brain: How 6 Hats Method Changed My Life

    A Practical Guide to Transforming Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Ideas

    During my business career, I’ve realized that sometimes I’m faced with difficult situations against to thinking from different perspectives for my tasks, problems and more…

    So, I was looking for sources and books to solve this problem. I was lucky, because in the beginning of my search, I found book that name is 6 Hat Techniques. Book mentions about simple and applicable techniques to think and look from different perspectives. Here below I’ll explain techniques with my point of view.

    “There has been enough knowledge in the WORLD. Now it is necessary to learn how to be creative using this information. You don’t have to be smart or clever to be creative. Knowing the method is enough.”

    These words belong to Edward de Bono, who said that in the age of thought, producing software for the human brain will become important, not for computers anymore.

    Edward de Bono, an international authority on creative thinking and the development of thinking as a skill, reveals the method of generating new ideas and being creative with the “6 Hats Technique”.

    Here is Edward de Bono’s “Thinking in 6 Hats”technique used in a management or team meeting to generate hundreds of new ideas in a very short time.

    How should you think?

    WHITE HAT (Information):

    Consider a computer that gives the necessary facts and figures when asked. The computer is neutral and objective.

    Does not comment, do not generate ideas. When he wears a white thinking hat, he thinks, he should imitate a computer. People who wear this hat should only focus on knowledge.

    RED HAT (Emotions, intuition):

    Those who wear this hat should reveal premonitions and impressions that are the opposite of objective knowledge. This hat may not be worn in serious business meetings.

    While instincts are not always right, they are a useful system of thought. The person wearing the red hat allows the thinker to say, “These are my feelings on the subject.”

    BLACK HAT (Critical judgment, pessimistic view):

    Like a judge’s hat, it predicts judgment, caution and risk assessment. Thanks to this hat, what could go wrong can be calculated in advance before starting a business.

    In fact, this hat is worn easily, sometimes more than necessary, since the emphasis is placed on discussion and criticism in Western societies. Politicians also wear this hat a lot to attract attention and make them feel important. It can be dangerous if used too much.

    YELLOW HAT (Optimism, being constructive):

    The yellow hat, symbolized by the color of sunlight and light, requires being sensitive like a 400-wrap film. Actually, this hat is very difficult to put on. It requires constructive thinking and making things happen.

    It focuses only on utility. Most people fail to see their values ​​in themselves and waste time. This hat serves to reveal these values.

    GREEN HAT (Creativity, sideways thinking):

    Green is the color of productivity and development. When this hat is put on, one must produce new ideas, new concepts, and new ways of perception. It must be creative. The alternative should offer more alternatives.

    Finally, change and new approaches to problems must be reached. Wearing a green hat helps in generating new ideas. For example, based on the suggestion that “cars should have square wheels”, a new car model was found suitable for potholes and bumps. It will be released soon.

    BLUE HAT (Control of thinking):

    Requires reflection on thinking, management of thought, organization of thinking, and control of other hats. The person wearing the blue hat does not drive the car but watches all the movements of the driver.

    He is both a choreographer who designed the steps and a critic who watches the play. With the blue hat, the person’s comments identify the issues to be considered.

    How will the hats be used?

    According to Edward de Bono’s method, during a meeting, each person at the same time puts on the blue hat first, revealing why they are meeting to hold meeting. Then they put on the red hat and express their feelings. Then they put on the white hat and present the information.

    By putting on the yellow hat, they can make a brief assessment. The aim is to get all the people attending the meeting to think in the same direction. Instead of wasting time by clashing opposing ideas, all thoughts of people are focused on a certain subject. The next speaker does not criticize the ideas of the previous one. He says new things.

  • How A Beautiful Red Dressing Gown Has Changed All of Our Lives

    How A Beautiful Red Dressing Gown Has Changed All of Our Lives

    The Diderot Effect or Domino Effect in Our Life and Consumption

    Many inventions and designs are the result of coincidence.
    The drop of an apple on your head or the purchase of a red dressing gown can change your life and the course of history.

    Now let’s take a detailed look at how a beautiful red dressing gown has changed all of our lives.

    Who is Denis Diderot?

    The Diderot Effect is named after the French philosopher and writer Denis Diderot.

    Living between 1713 and 1784, Denis Diderot was one of the most important figures of the Age of Enlightenment and a pioneer of the Romanticism movement.

    As the chief editor of the Encyclopedia, which was designed to educate and develop the public, Diderot played a major role in the development and socialization of 18th century intellectuals.

    Diderot, who wrote dozens of works during his lifetime, made many contributions to literature as well as philosophy.

    What is the Diderot Effect?

    The Diderot Effect, in short, is a concept used to explain that every new thing we buy encourages us to buy other new things.

    Why the ‘Diderot Effect’?

    Denis Diderot, in his essay ‘Regrets for my old dressing gown’, described the consumption dilemma he had fallen into.

    Since Diderot was the first person to talk about the consumption dilemma caused by buying things without needing them, this dilemma or cycle is called the Diderot Effect.

    Diderot’s Experience

    The story is told in two versions: One is that the dressing gown was a gift, the other that she bought it herself.

    The Russian Empress Catherine the Great bought the library of Diderot, whom she heard was having financial problems. She asked him to keep the library in his home and made Diderot her librarian, paying his salary for 25 years in advance.

    Diderot, who pays off his debts and becomes comfortable as a result of this help, buys an elegant dressing gown (or an elegant dressing gown is gifted to Diderot by a friend).

    When Diderot puts on the dressing gown, he thinks that the things in his house do not suit the dressing gown, that they are old and do not match the dressing gown. So he changes his desk, the pictures on the wall, his armchair. Soon he had replaced almost all the furniture in his house with new ones, but he was in debt again.

    Realizing his predicament, Diderot describes the impulse that drove him to buy things he didn’t need in his essay ‘Regret for my old dressing gown’.

    ‘Why didn’t I hide him? He was used to me and I to him… He hugged every curve of my body. The other one is stiff and starched, it makes me look bulky. But the old one met all my needs.I could wipe dusty books with its skirt. The lines on it spoke of literature, the writer, the working man. But now I have the air of a useless rich man. No one knows who I am. I wasn’t afraid to be clumsy in it. I went from being the absolute master of my old robe to the slave of the new one… Damn this precious garment I used to respect and admire. Where is my old, common cloth, modest, comfortable rag?… My friends, keep your old friends. My friends, beware of wealth touching you. Let my situation be an example to you. Poverty has its freedoms, wealth has its drawbacks… That’s not all, my friends. Look at the ravages of luxury, the consequences of ever-increasing luxury. My old robe was in harmony with the other junk around me. A wicker chair; a wooden table; an old bookcase with a few books; a few unframed, sooty engravings; a few pieces of plaster lifted into the air between these engravings, all this was in harmony with my old robe. Now everything is broken, harmony, unity and beauty are gone!’

    Diderot Completeness

    Every new object we buy does not harmonize with other objects in the place where it is located/used.
    In order to create harmony and integrity with the new object, it is desirable to replace other old and worn objects with new ones.
    The real impact and value of objects carry meaning and functionality within a whole (Diderot Integrity).

    The Importance of the Diderot Effect and the Gestalt Approach

    The Diderot Effect has an important place in cultural anthropology, psychology and sociology as it describes both the desire for shopping in all times and the current consumer frenzy.

    Let’s think about ourselves in the simplest way. We don’t want to use any clothes or items unless they fit the fashion, the era, a certain concept or our style. This is the Diderot Integrity.

    The Diderot Effect is when each purchase triggers each other, for a simple example, when we buy shoes, bags, buckles and jewelry to match our new dress, or even a new coat. We probably didn’t need the new shoes, bag and coat. The entire purchase was made without conscious thought, just to fit in.

    On the other hand, the cultural codes we adopt impose harmony and completeness. This, in turn, greatly influences or determines our willingness and behavior to buy and own. Because, consciously or unconsciously, we seek to acquire the whole.

    The human search for wholeness is in line with the Gestalt Principles put forward in the 20th century: Holism leads to a more meaningful and valuable outcome. As long as human beings do not attain wholeness, they feel incomplete and deprived. As a result, they strive to achieve wholeness.

    Two Dimensions of the Diderot Effect

    When a consumer buys a product, he or she buys new products related to that product to complete the whole.
    For example, a new house and new furniture, a new dress and new accessories, new clothes that we think are appropriate for that status after a promotion, etc.

    Avoidance of new purchases is also a secondary dimension. The person may also develop the behavior of not buying new products out of concern that it will disrupt the integrity.

    Two Assumptions of the Diderot Effect on Shopping Habits

    The products we buy are part of our character, they reflect our social status and identity. They complement our other purchases.
    We need to create a new group for the new product that we buy and that is not like what we had before. So we start buying other new products to complement the new product.

    How to deal with the Diderot Effect?

    In a world based on consumption, where having more, higher models, better and the ‘latest’ is a status indicator, we first need to change our mindset.

    We can ask ourselves some questions before shopping:

    Does the product I have meet my needs?
    Do I really need this product?
    What am I paying for?
    Creating the perception that you can buy ‘happiness, joy, energy, beauty, …’ with a product (selling a philosophy or lifestyle) is nothing new.

    Keep in mind that what you are buying is just an object. No object can make you a better, happier person or make you more loved and admired.

  • AI Answered; What Is The Meaning of Life?

    AI Answered; What Is The Meaning of Life?

    This article has been written completely by AI.

    The meaning of life is a question that has puzzled philosophers, theologians, and thinkers for centuries. It is a question that has been asked by people of all ages and from all walks of life. 

    Despite its apparent simplicity, the meaning of life is a complex and deeply personal question that each person must answer for themselves.

    At its core, the meaning of life is about finding a purpose or reason for existence. It is about discovering what gives our lives meaning and significance. 

    Some people find meaning in their relationships with others, while others find it in their work or hobbies. Still, others find meaning in their spiritual beliefs or in the pursuit of knowledge.

    One way to approach the question of the meaning of life is to consider the possibilities that exist for human beings. 

    We are capable of incredible things, from making great scientific and artistic achievements to forming deep, meaningful connections with others. We can learn, grow, and evolve, both as individuals and as a species.

    Given all of these possibilities, it is up to each person to decide how they want to live their lives and what they want to make of their time on Earth. 

    Some people may choose to focus on their careers, while others may prioritize their relationships or their personal growth.

    One common approach to finding meaning in life is to look for something that gives us a sense of fulfillment or happiness. 

    For some people, this may be found in their work or their hobbies, while for others it may be found in their relationships with others or in their spiritual beliefs.

    Whatever it is that gives us a sense of fulfillment, it is important to remember that this meaning can change over time. 

    As we grow and evolve, our priorities and interests may shift, and what once gave us a sense of purpose may no longer do so. It is important to be open to these changes and to be willing to adapt and seek out new sources of meaning and fulfillment.

    Another way to approach the question of the meaning of life is to consider our place in the universe. 

    We are just one tiny part of a vast and complex universe, and our individual lives are but fleeting moments in the grand scheme of things. In the face of this, some people may feel insignificant or unimportant.

    However, it is important to remember that even though our individual lives may be small in the grand scheme of things, we are still a vital part of the universe. 

    Our actions and choices can have a ripple effect, touching the lives of others and shaping the world around us.

    In this way, our meaning in life can be found in the impact that we have on others and the world around us. 

    Whether it is through our work, our relationships, or our contributions to society, each of us has the potential to make a difference and leave our mark on the world.

    Ultimately, the meaning of life is a deeply personal question, and each person must answer it for themselves. 

    Some people may find meaning in their relationships, while others may find it in their work or their hobbies. Still, others may find meaning in their spiritual beliefs or in the pursuit of knowledge.

    No matter what gives our lives meaning and significance, it is important to remember that we are all part of something larger than ourselves. We are part of a universe that is full of possibility and potential, and it is up to us to make the most of our time on Earth. 

    Whether we find meaning in our careers, our relationships, or our personal growth, it is up to each of us to discover what gives our lives meaning and to make the most of it.

    What do you think about the possibility of AI can write better articles than humans?

  • How Can You Change Your Life By Walking Every Day?

    How Can You Change Your Life By Walking Every Day?

    The health benefits of walking are suitable for all ages and all levels. It can also help prevent some diseases and even prolong your life. 

    Walking is free and easy to fit into your daily routine. All you need to start walking is a sturdy pair of walking shoes. 

    The benefits of walking are also one of the most frequently asked questions by many internet users.

    What are the Benefits of Walking?

    1. It helps you burn calories!

    Walking can help you burn calories. Burning calories can help you lose or maintain weight.

    Your actual calorie burn will depend on several factors, including

    1. Walking speed
    2. Distance walked
    3. Terrain conditions (you burn more calories walking uphill than you would on a flat surface)
    4. Your weight
    5. You can use a calorie calculator to determine your actual calorie burn.
    6. You can also refer to this table for a general estimate.

    2. Strengthens your heart

    Walking for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease by about 19 percent. Increasing the time or distance you walk daily can further reduce your risk. [1]

    3. May help lower your blood sugar

    Taking a short walk after a meal can help lower your blood sugar.

    A small study found that taking a 15-minute walk three times a day (after breakfast, lunch, and dinner) improved blood sugar levels more than taking a 45-minute walk at any other point during the day, although more research is needed to confirm these findings.

    Consider making after-meal walking a regular part of your routine. It can also help you exercise throughout the day.

    4. Relieves joint pain

    Walking can help protect joints, including your knees and hips. This is because it helps to lubricate and strengthen the muscles that support the joints.

    Walking can also provide benefits such as reducing pain for people with arthritis. Walking 5 to 6 miles a week can also help prevent arthritis.

    5. Boosts immune function

    Walking can reduce your risk of developing a cold or flu.

    One study followed 1,000 adults throughout the flu season for walking. Those who walked at a moderate pace for 30 to 45 minutes a day had 43 percent fewer sick days and fewer upper respiratory infections overall. 

    If they did get sick, their symptoms were also reduced. This was compared to sedentary adults in the study.

    To experience these benefits, try to go for a daily walk. If you live in a cold climate, you can try walking on a treadmill or around an indoor shopping mall.

    6. Increase your energy

    When you are tired, going for a walk can be a more effective energy boost than drinking a cup of coffee.
    Walking increases oxygen flow in the body. It can also increase cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels. These are hormones that help raise energy levels.

    7. Improve your mood

    Walking can help your mental health. Research shows that it can help reduce anxiety, depression, and a negative mood. It can also boost self-esteem and reduce symptoms of social withdrawal.

    To experience these benefits, aim for 30 minutes of brisk walking or another moderate-intensity exercise three days a week. You can also break it down into three 10-minute walks.

    8. Extend your lifespan

    Walking faster can extend your lifespan. Researchers found that walking at an average pace compared to a slow pace reduced the overall risk of death by 20 percent.

    But walking fast or briskly (at least 4 miles per hour) reduced the risk by 24 percent. The study examined the association between walking faster and factors such as overall causes of death, cardiovascular disease, and death from cancer.

    Tips to stay safe while walking

    Walk-in areas are designated for pedestrians. Look for well-lit areas if possible.
    If you walk in the evening or early morning, wear a reflective vest or light so that cars can see you.

    1. Wear sturdy shoes with good heel and arch support.
    2. Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
    3. Drink plenty of water before and after walking to stay hydrated. Take water with you
    4. Use sunscreen even on cloudy days to prevent sunburn.
    5. To start walking, all you need is a pair of sturdy walking shoes. Choose a walking route near your home. Or look for a scenic place to hike in your areas, such as a trail or beach.

    Alternatively, you can add walking to your daily routine. Here are some ideas:

    If you commute to work, you can get off one stop earlier and walk to work.
    Park further away from your office than usual and walk to and from your car.

    Make walking a daily routine.

  • 10 Psychological Tricks To Make Your Life Easier

    10 Psychological Tricks To Make Your Life Easier

    The trick that always wins in rock paper scissors, Hold your drink in your left hand at parties and more …

    Have you ever wondered why some people are able to influence others so easily? 

    Sometimes it’s just thanks to little psychological tricks that can make life easier for you. 

    When you make the right moves in communication and psychology, there is no everyday problem that you cannot deal with.

    We suggest you try these little games in your life. Because these innocent and effective tricks will take you one step further in your relationships with people.

    1. Giving the impression that you are giving the other person a choice about something you want them to do, when in fact you are not

    It is a very simple but very effective method. For example, ask your child who never wants to eat okra for dinner whether he would prefer one spoonful or two. It is very likely that he will prefer one spoon of okra.

    2. Create an association for something you don’t want to forget

    Watch a movie you have never seen before and play a game you have never played before. 

    Now, when you watch that movie, you will think of that game, and when you play that game, you will think of that movie. You can use a similar tactic when preparing for an exam. 

    Chew gum while studying for your exam and chew the same flavour of gum during the exam. You will remember the answers more easily.

    3. If you think someone is watching you but you are not sure, this is a surefire way to find out

    Yawn. Then glance at the suspect. If he or she yawns after you, you now have an important piece of evidence that he or she is watching you. Yawning is contagious, just like looking at the clock. You can try the same method by looking at the clock

    4. The way my father used to say it

    If you want someone to take something you say more seriously, tell them that the source of your argument comes from your family elders. People tend to listen to the wisdom and advice of older generations.

    5. Here’s how to get rid of the dreaded earworm

    9 out of 10 psychologists believe that unfinished things get stuck in the human brain. If you have a song stuck in your head, think about the end of the song. Then you can get on with your work

    6. Give fractional numbers

    This is one of the most popular psychological tricks. You will never see a price with rounded numbers in any grocery store. This is how stores cheat their customers. You can do the same with your friends. When they ask you to rate a book or movie, instead of saying 3 out of 5, say 3.25. It’s the ideal way to be reassuring.

    7. Hold your drink in your left hand at parties

    Because people prefer to shake a warm, dry hand. Especially if you are in a work-related environment and have the chance to meet new people, this tactic can be a lifesaver. Of course, if you are left-handed, you need to hold your drink in your right hand.

    8. The trick that always wins in rock paper scissors

    Ask the other person a question during the game. It can be any question. To answer the question, their brain will automatically go into defence mode. In this mode people always choose scissors.

    9. If you want to get someone to say something, just shut up and wait

    Did you ask your friend a question and he/she gave a half-assed answer? Just shut up, making eye contact. No human being can stand awkward silence. He or she will give you anything you want to get you talking.

    10. Be the last joke bender

    When someone makes a joke about you or your friend in public, pretend you didn’t hear them and ask them to repeat what they said. The second time he/she says it, again pretend you didn’t hear it and ask him/her to repeat it. No joke is funny the third time.

  • What Is The Giffen Paradox

    What Is The Giffen Paradox

    The Case of Buying More as Prices Rise – Giffen Paradox

    Giffen Paradox – Let’s say you go to the market and buy a product on the shelf for 1$ each. You came home and liked this product very much. The next day when you go to the same store to buy the same product, you see that the price is 2$. Would you buy more than one of these products? If the product you buy is a Giffen product, the answer is likely to be yes.

    Economic events are analyzed in two ways, one for the economy as a whole and the other for its smallest units. The former is called the macro (large) level approach and the latter is the micro (small) level approach. The micro level basically deals with human beings. The laws of supply and demand govern macro and micro-economic theories.

    Economists recognize that when prices rise, demand falls and forms a downward sloping curve, while when prices fall, demand forms an upward sloping curve. In 1895, the British economist Alfred Marshall gave us a mathematical explanation of how supply and demand are formed. After laying down the general rules, he also pointed out that there could be an interesting exception.

    What is the Giffen Paradox?

    Marshall said that in some cases a price increase can surprisingly increase demand. The first person to point this out was Scottish Robert Giffen, a well-known economist and statistician of the time. 

    Giffen saw that the potato famine in Ireland in the mid-19th century raised potato prices, which increased the demand for potatoes instead of decreasing it, and investigated the reason for this reversal.

    Alfred Marshall included Robert Giffen’s work in his textbook Principles of Economics. This led to the Giffen paradox. It was called the Giffen paradox because it was contrary to the law of supply and demand.

    Following this definition, today, goods whose demand increases as the price increases are known as Giffen goods. When the idea of Giffen goods was first introduced, in the 19th century, bread was one of the most important food items for the poor British population. 

    The poorest of the working class spent most of their income on bread, which was essential for survival. As the price of bread increased, the poorer people had to spend more of their income on bread to survive. As a result, the higher the price, the higher the demand.

    What is a Giffen good?

    A Giffen good is a low-income, non-luxury product that defies standard economic and consumer demand theory. Demand for Giffen goods rises when the price rises and falls when the price falls. A product can only be a Giffen good if certain conditions are met. 

    First, it must be a basic good, such as food, for which there are a limited number of substitutes. And, of course, the people who buy it must be too poor to afford to replace the staple with better quality goods. Some common Giffen goods are rice, salt, potatoes and bread.

    In 1947 US economist Georg Stigler denied this in Notes on the History of the Giffen Paradox but in 2007 US academics Robert Jensen and Nolan Miller in Giffen Behavior: Theory and Evidence: Giffen Behavior.

    Examples of Giffen Goods

    In fact, it is quite easy today to give examples of this paradox. Take the rise in meat prices for example. As the price of meat products increased, many of us gave up meat and started to spend our budget on more affordable food products. 

    As a result, the balance of supply and demand changed. Subsequently, prices of staple food products also increased. This led to the Giffen Paradox.

    In the same way, families with much lower incomes could buy a few ingredients and get through the day with a simple meal and bread, but with the increase in vegetable prices, this became impossible. 

    As a result, the staple food for many people has become bread, which is the cheapest and most filling. As a result, as the demand for bread increased, bread started to rise more.

    Similar Effect but a Contrasting Case: Veblen’s Goods

    When we talk about the Giffen paradox, we are talking about another situation that leads to a strange economic contradiction. Veblen goods are named after the American economist Thorstein Veblen, who formulated the theory of “conspicuous consumption”. 

    These goods are peculiar because as their price increases, so does the demand for them. But unlike the worthless Giffen goods, they are considered a symbol of high status.

    Conclusion

    The willingness to pay more is more to advertise wealth than to achieve better quality. A true Veblen good should therefore not be of significantly higher quality than its lower-priced equivalents. 

    When the price falls, the rich stop buying it. Cutting prices tends to reduce sales. This is why some stores never discount at the end of the season. Those who can afford it buy it, those who can’t have to grapple with the Giffen paradox anyway.

  • What Is Gaslighting and Its Importance In Relationships?

    What Is Gaslighting and Its Importance In Relationships?

    Secret Type of Manipulation In Relationships

    Gaslighting is the conscious manipulation and control of an individual’s perspective over an extended period of time. 

    It is an attempt to make someone doubt their understanding of reality, to make them believe that they cannot trust their perceptions and judgments about reality. In other words, it is a form of psychological abuse. 

    The term Gaslighting is based on the theatre play Gas Light, which was performed in 1938. 

    In this play, the male character makes some attempts to make his wife doubt his sanity. 

    He does this by telling his wife that although he dims the light of the gas lamp over time when she says that the light has decreased, the light of the gas lamp has not decreased, and the light has remained the same. 

    Thus, his wife begins to believe that the gas lamp is not dimming, but she cannot make sense of the room getting darker and darker. At the end of the day, the woman is pushed into thoughts that she is going crazy.

    What are the stages of Gaslighting?

    We can state that it has three stages. These are

    1. Idealization
    2. Devaluation
    3. Discreditation

    1. In the Idealization stage

    The dominant person in the relationship idealizes the other and attributes an admirable status to the person who will be victimized. 

    They attempt to construct a perception that their relationship is perfect. The direction of this admiration turns into a more intense admiration for the other, i.e. the person who is gaslighting.

    2. In the devaluation stage

    The person who previously aroused feelings of admiration turns into someone who cannot do anything, who is useless. 

    The person now perceives themselves as worthless, as the problematic party. At the beginning of the relationship, the person who was confident, happy and thought he/she was worthy becomes doubtful about his/her self-esteem after manipulative behaviours. In this situation, he/she sees himself/herself in desperate efforts not to lose the other and to make things work in the relationship.

    3. Discreditation is the last stage of the gaslighting process. 

    The manipulator discards the other person and seeks other victims. The gaslighted person sees themselves in a position of apologizing in order not to be abandoned.

    As can be understood from all stages, first of all, trust and love are gained. The victimized person is included in a painful process by being made to doubt himself/herself by the person he/she loves and trusts. 

    Then, dependency develops on the gaslighting perpetrator and the power of influence intensifies and weakens the other person. 

    The most important factor in gaslighting is that the psychological abuse continues until it has the desired effect on the perpetrator. 

    Over time, the person becomes hostile to their own perceptions and relinquishes control to the other person. As a result, initiative skills such as decision-making are damaged.

    Examples of Gaslighting 

    People who are being gaslighted are usually not aware of it during the relationship. They normalize the situation that this may be the nature of their current relationship. 

    However, they may be warned about certain issues by those around them. It is not easy to recognize the existence of this manipulation. For example:

    You find yourself constantly apologizing for something you did not do,
    If the other person keeps saying, “I never said such a thing to you”,

    If he/she shows you insulting words or behaviour and then reacts by saying, “You made me do this, it’s all your fault that I am the way I am.”

    If he/she doesn’t understand your sadness and resentment and takes your emotions down by saying, “You are exaggerating too much, if others see you like this, they will think you are mentally ill.”

    When you are having an argument even though you are right, you are constantly resorting to lies to save the moment, just so that the other person does not get more angry, just so that the tension ends as soon as possible.

    You may be a victim of gaslighting if you are constantly beating yourself up for not being good enough, for saying “I am not good enough, I am always the one who makes mistakes and this will not change” even though you are good enough.

    When we look at the characteristics of those who practice gaslighting, we see that they are actually very weak, inadequate and worthless. 

    Precisely because of these characteristics, they resort to devaluing and disempowering one another. 

    We can briefly explain their purpose of Gaslighting in this way.

    How to deal with Gaslighting in a relationship?


    In the light of the information we have given above, if you think that you are exposed to similar things in your own relationships, the first thing to do is to realize that what you are experiencing is gaslighting. 

    The next step is to face the reality of what you are experiencing. Some victims may want to stay in the relationship, believing that there may be healing steps to give the relationship another chance, and may not end it. 

    However, they cannot improve the situation by being in a relationship that makes the individual so doubtful about their self-worth and perception of reality. 

    For this reason, if you have difficulty ending your relationship with such dynamics, you can get support from a mental health professional. 

  • 8 Dispensable Things That Cause Mostly Feel Hungry

    8 Dispensable Things That Cause Mostly Feel Hungry

    This may be the main reason why many people gain weight. Feel Hungry

    1. You may be eating too many refined carbohydrates.

    Feel Hungry – This type of carbohydrate, which we call “refined”, is found in many foods such as pastries and junk food. When you consume these foods, you feel hungry again after a short time.

    This is because these foods do not contain fibre, so they are digested quickly.

    If you want to stay full for a long time, you can choose foods with fibre that take longer to digest.

    For example, vegetables and whole grains are good options.

    2. You may not be consuming enough protein.

    If you don’t include enough protein in your meals, it is normal to feel hungry all the time.

    Protein foods suppress hunger and curb your appetite.

    If you include protein foods on your plate, you will notice that you feel less hungry.

    3. You may not be eating enough healthy fats.

    Consuming too much fat can be a problem for your health while consuming too little can upset the balance in your body.

    When you consume healthy fats, you prolong the digestion time of food. This means that food stays in your stomach longer. You feel full for longer.

    4. You may be eating your food too fast.

    Consuming your meals quickly increases your appetite, causes weight gain and makes you hungry quickly.

    Give your food the time it deserves.
    Enjoy the pleasure of eating.

    5. You may not be drinking enough water.

    Take care to consume enough water for your body so that your digestive system can work in a healthy way. 

    According to research, those who drink enough water feel fuller during the day. It’s also a bit strange, but your brain can sometimes confuse hunger and thirst.

    In summary, remember to drink enough water to control your appetite.

    6. You may want to eat because you are stressed.

    We know that anxiety and anxiety disorders have many effects on our bodies. One of these effects is the constant desire to eat.

    When we feel stressed, our body releases the hormone cortisol.

    This makes us feel hungry.

    Try to manage the stress in your life through sports or new hobbies.

    7. Your regular medication may be affecting your appetite.

    In particular, medications for diabetes, antidepressants or mood stabilizers can make you feel hungry all the time because they contain substances such as cortisone, insulin, clozapine or olanzapine.

    If you notice that you regularly gain weight after taking a new medication and you feel hungry all the time, be sure to contact your doctor.

    8. You may not be getting enough sleep.

    Ghrelin, also known as the appetite hormone, is controlled by our brain.

    If you are not getting enough sleep, you cannot expect your brain to function properly.

  • Silva Method – Change Your Life

    Silva Method – Change Your Life

    Silva Method – This method is better than my expectations (Silva Method)

    Silva Method is based on scientific research and was developed by José Silva, an American of Mexican origin, after 22 years of research between 1944 and 1966. 

    The Silva Method has been translated into 36 different languages to date and has been taught in 118 countries since 1966. More than 40 books have been written about the method and it has been the source of much personal development training. 

    It is taught as a course in 56 universities around the world. As of today, there are more than 6 million Silva Method graduates all over the world, although their number is increasing day by day.

    Change Your Life with Silva Method!


    Easy to apply;
    The method consists of 24 scientifically proven mind exercises and is very easy to apply. As all things easy and simple are more impressive, so is the Silva Method. It is extremely easy to apply and practical, and when you apply it to your life, you are sure to get results.

    What it is based on
    The Silva Method is based on how you think, your beliefs and behaviours that influence your life experiences.
    The aim of the Silva Method is to teach you how to use your brain more and how to develop the hidden abilities of your mind. At the same time, it awakens and develops the potential inherent in human nature. In the training, self-hypnosis is taught using the language of hypnosis.
    You Hold the Key to Your Happiness;
    When you succeed in controlling your thoughts, you will be happier by consciously shaping your life.


    You shape your destiny with your own hands;

    How? With your choices.

    How? With your thoughts.

    How? With your mind.

    Nothing is impossible. We perform miracles with our minds and only we human beings can do it. That’s why we say that the entire responsibility of our life is in our hands.


    This is not magic; this is the Silva Method


    Step by step with the practices, you realize that your ability to focus increases, your creativity increases with the information coming into your mind, and at the same time your thinking expands (your awareness increases). As a result, you experience and perceive that you can solve your problems with better quality and creative ideas. You can develop your hidden “Sensory Reflection” ability only with the Silva Method.


    A Better Quality of Life


    Millions of people say that with the Silva Method they have discovered the incredible power of their minds to positively change their lives, realize their dreams, get rid of various chronic diseases, do better in exams, find the job they desire and improve their quality of life.
    The key to the success of Silva Method training is that it helps you to create an energetic, vibrant and powerful thinking system by freeing you from limiting beliefs that prevent you from unlocking your full potential. It is dynamic training.

    The Silva Method Seminar, consisting of a total of 24 mind techniques, is given in 2 Parts: 

    Silva Life System (Part I) and Silva Intuition System (Part II). This mental work takes place at the Alpha level, where the brain functions with imagination and imagery. However, since the vast majority of people (95%) sleep at this level, they cannot function in the right hemisphere of their brain by remaining conscious at the Alpha level. Therefore, they cannot take advantage of this amazing functionality of the brain at this level, which is the most suitable level for finding solutions to problems. With the first exercises, students first learn how to enter the Alpha level by slowing down their brain waves and how to function in the right hemisphere of the brain by staying conscious and not sleeping at this level.


    With each progressive technique, one’s sense of faith and trust is triggered and one experiences and perceives an increased ability to control one’s mind. As the program progresses, the person gradually realizes that his/her ability to focus increases, the information coming into his/her mind increases, and his/her thinking expands. As a result, the person perceives that they can solve their problems with better quality and creative ideas.

    As a result of this dynamic training

    Completely relax in a few seconds,
    Recognize and change the many limiting beliefs stored in their subconscious minds,
    to get rid of all stress-related health problems by activating personal healing powers,
    To make the right decisions,
    Change unwanted habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating,
    Clear destructive patterns of emotion and behaviour, if any,
    To be more effective in their relationships,
    To reach their goals more easily, to achieve the results they desire,
    To increase their mental capacity,
    To strengthen their memory,
    To bring realistic and innovative solutions to their problems,
    Complete freedom from sleep problems and quality sleep,
    To develop creative skills,
    Use their time properly
    Increase their motivation,
    To become more positive individuals,
    In short, they manage to take control of their lives and improve their quality of life on a universal scale.

    Why is Advanced Thinking Ability important?

    Everything you do starts with a thought. If you set out to achieve a new goal with your old thinking habits, your chances of success are only a possibility. It takes a new way of thinking to seize new opportunities and succeed.

    Times are changing and this change is happening very fast. You are also aware of this. Today, one’s success depends on the ability to adapt to new conditions. In nature, it is not strong that survive, but the organisms that are flexible, that leave the old behind and accept the new.

    According to contemporary scientific data, an ordinary person cannot focus his or her mind on any one thought for more than 6 to 11 seconds. According to Harvard University research, this is the most important reason why people fail to achieve their goals.

    A fleeting thought cannot be programmed.
    A mind that constantly shifts to other thoughts cannot be programmed.
    A thought that is blocked by limiting beliefs cannot be programmed.
    Negative thoughts, anxieties and low self-esteem cancel the thought, making it unprogrammable.
    Our mind needs at least 30 seconds to program a thought.
    Silva Method techniques help you in this sense.

    To focus on a particular thought for a longer period of time (at least 30 seconds),


    Developing and strengthening the perception
    The Silva Method is the most modern and effective mental training method for utilizing the unlimited possibilities of the brain. It is for people who want to take control of their lives and ‘produce’ the results they desire.

    “The Silva Method is a ‘tool’ you can use to bring about the changes you desire. I highly recommend it.” Dr. Wayne Dryer, Psychologist — Author

    Silva Life System (Part 1):

    With the first exercises, students first learn to enter the Alpha level by slowing down their brain waves and staying conscious and not sleeping at this level and being functional in the right hemisphere of the brain. Thus, the body and mind relax and stress control is achieved.

    With the next exercises, the effective information synthesis mechanism, in other words, the imagination, is activated to be used in problem-solving. What happened in the past provides us with information. Logic analyzes the information obtained. But the imagination deals with what needs to be done. Decisions are made by utilizing this magnificent functionality of the brain at the Alpha level, which is the most suitable level for finding solutions to problems.

    By changing the limiting beliefs that prevent success with other exercises, the brain is reprogrammed in alpha and theta frequencies with the selected solutions and creativity is developed.

    Silva Intuition System (Part 2):

    With the mental techniques here, intuition is developed and strengthened. As a result of training in intuition development techniques, people gain awareness that their brains are not only receivers and transmitters of thought waves, but that they can also use extrasensory information and influence and change this information. Our brain is an advanced information network — the Internet.

    It can provide information beyond stored information. The way the brain works allows for original thinking and real and innovative solutions to problems. By getting rid of limiting beliefs that hinder success and not being dependent on the past, through sensory reflection exercises, innovative and creative decisions can be made and the right choices can be made. Successful people are those who have a broad perceptive ability.

    They also gain the ability to connect to Source Energy, discover the mission of existence so that they can live a life with purpose, and master case studies to discover abnormalities in the human body and bring them back to normal.

    Techniques such as the Mental Screen, Mind Mirror and Laboratory help the mind to focus on a thought. Repeated positive suggestions, techniques to change limiting beliefs, and mental cleansing achieved by deleting negative words and phrases from our memory, help the mind to easily make the connections necessary to bring thoughts to life and eliminate obstacles on this path. Dream Control, the Three Fingers and a Glass of Water Technique, and the Laboratory and Guides are the ‘keys’ to opening our mind’s ‘files’ and gathering the information needed to succeed.

    Conclusion

    The Silva Method has been practised for forty years by people of different religions, cultures and understandings, living in different social environments, with success in all 180 countries. Over this long period of time, there is one fact witnessed by people who have changed their lives by applying the techniques they have learned.

  • Important Question: Does She/He Really Love You?

    Important Question: Does She/He Really Love You?

    Those easy signals can help you to understand if someone – Really Love You

    Really Love You – Probably none of us mistook the friendly behaviour for flirting at some point.(Love You)

    So the job of being single and finding out who wants to hang out with can turn into a minefield.

    And when you start dating someone, nothing gets easier.

    For you, the first few dates may have been great, but before you know it, the other person may say that they are not really interested in you.

    So even in the early stages of dating, things can still be very tricky.

    I searched for the best relationship experts and psychologists about how you can tell if someone is really interested in you.

    1- They roll up their sleeves

    It may be hard to believe. But relationship coach and psychologist Jo Hemmings explains that rolling up on a date can be a subtle sign of interest. Especially among women.

    She says that “pulling the sleeves of a dress up or wearing clothes that leave the ankles open where the skin is the softest is often an expression of subconscious attraction,” she adds, adding that it signals our vulnerability to someone.

    2- You talk about ordinary things

    They will find an excuse to text you, says psychologist Madeleine Mason Roantree of dating agency The Vida Consultancy.

    She adds that the messages may be awkward or empty (like “I just got back from the park” or “It’s been a busy day”), but it bodes well and shows she would love to talk to you about anything.

    3- They remember what you said

    Hemmings says that if someone wants to meet you, they will remember your previous conversations.

    Whether it’s a small detail about the new coffee maker in the business or the location of your sister’s birthday party, people want to know more if they like you.

    4- Messages often end with a question

    If they end their messages to you with a question, no matter how uninspired (like “What did you have for lunch today?”), it’s a strong sign that they want to stay in touch with you.

    “It’s a desire to get you to talk to him,” says Mason.

    “People want to maintain a sense of connection by keeping the conversation going,” she adds.

    5- They change their body language to be closer to you

    Showing interest in body language is much more than maintaining eye contact (an often accepted sign of interest).

    Other gestures include bending over, crossing their legs, or standing with their bodies facing you, Hemmings says. “It shows that someone likes your presence,” adds Hemmings.

    6- They try to impress you

    Are they inviting you to flamboyant bars, a popular photography exhibition or a hit game?

    Mason says it’s not for show, they just want to impress you.

    “This type of behaviour can be hard to spot because you don’t know the general state of people,” he adds.

    But if they want to have fun with you and plan things to do together, it’s a clear statement that they want to win your love.

    7- After the appointment, you know when to see you again

    If you’ve had a good date if conversations are flowing and sparks are flying, you’ll be a source of excitement for people, Mason says.

    “When they spend time with you, their ‘happiness hormone’ levels, their dopamine, increase.

    People want more of that,” he explains.

    This is why right after you break up with someone you know when you will see them again; You will definitely keep it on your agenda.

    8- They can contact you at any time of the day

    “Messaging is often done for pragmatic reasons, or it can sometimes be out of habit or necessity,” says Hemmings.

    When someone is casually texting you, rather than planning or getting information about something, it shows that they are taking time to think about you.

    9- They tell you how they feel

    This may seem like an announcement of the known.

    But Mason points out that some people really stand up and say they like you.

    “To say this openly is to ensure a long-lasting and special relationship with you,” the psychologist adds.

  • Did Nikola Tesla Find Time Machine ?

    Did Nikola Tesla Find Time Machine ?

    Time Travel and Time Machine – Let’s look at the evidence

    Time Travel – Apparently, Tesla was very obsessed with time travel. He worked on a time machine project. Maybe he succeeded because once he said ;

    “I could see the past, the present and the future at the same time.” Nikola Tesla

    The idea that a person can travel through time is something that millions of people around the world dream about and ponder.

    Looking back, we can come across numerous texts that can be interpreted as evidence of time travel.

    When Albert Einstein published his Theory of Relativity in 1905, he opened a new page in the scientific community, “Is time travel possible?” It raised many questions such as

    There is even evidence of time travel in the Bible, according to Erick von Daniken, author of one of the best-selling books in history:

    “In the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting with some of his friends, and there was a young boy. His name is Abimelech.

    Jeremiah said to Abimelech: 

    “Come out of Jerusalem, there is a hill, and from that hill, pick figs for us.” 

    The boy went out and picked fresh figs. All of a sudden, Abimelek hears some noise in the air and when she feels the wind in the air, she loses consciousness and faints.

    After a while, he wakes up again and sees that it is almost evening.

    When he returns to the community, the city is filled with strange soldiers and he wonders: 

    “What is going on here, where are Jeremiah and the others? ” An old man replies: ” That was 62 years ago ”. — A time travel story set in the Bible. — Von Daniken.

    If we look at the Mahabharata, written in the eighth century (B.C.), King Raivata travels to the sky to meet the creator God Brahma, but when he returns, he finds that hundreds of years have passed on Earth.

    In Japan, we find a similar situation in the legend of Urashima Taro. It tells the story of a fisherman visiting the god of the seas, Ryūjin, in what seems like only three days. When the fisherman returns to his town, 300 years have passed and his town is unrecognizable.

    It is possible to reproduce this and similar historical texts. Who knows? Perhaps all these “myths” will inspire great thinkers to find a way to get to time travel.
    Now let’s come to our near future…

    Recently, a group of scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, investigated how time-travelling photons would move. Researchers simulated Photons’ travel into the past.

    After studying the behaviour of quantum particles, scientists uncovered possible anomalous aspects of today’s physics.

    However, Nikola Tesla’s work on time travel begins before modern science saw time travel as possible.

    According to reports, in 1895 Tesla made a shocking discovery that suggested that time and space could be affected by magnetic fields. Tesla thought that he could disrupt the continuity of time and space by using intense magnetic field effects.

    The experiment, the main purpose of which was to make the ships of the navy invisible on the radar, caused very different results with the Tesla factor, and the ship and its crew travelled in time by disappearing from the eyes for a certain period of time.

    Although the Philadelphia Experiment, which was kept secret for a long time, came to light with the explanations of some of the survivors who were on the ship that day, the authorities closed the issue by saying that the event was a figment of imagination.

    Tesla’s assistant explains the existence of Tesla’s work on time travel and the fact that he may have partially realized it:

    Tesla was exposed to magnetic waves that he had artificially produced, during which he found himself in a completely different space-time window, where he could see both the past, the future and the present at the same time.

    The magnetic effect he was exposed to nearly killed him, and I prevented it. That’s why he was angry with me.

    After Tesla’s death, the notes, which were curious by everyone, were collected by the FBI overnight and disappeared.

    For this reason, unfortunately, there is no document to confirm exactly what is stated in this article. The situations mentioned are the expressions experienced and voiced by those living near him.

    Tesla is one of the greatest scientists in our history, and with his death, he left many mysteries behind.

    Tesla is the architect of many of the technologies we use today, but unfortunately, his name is not even mentioned as much as those who do much less than him.

    The reason for this is that Tesla was not a political thinker like Edison and others, but devoted himself only to science.

  • The Simpsons’ Predictions For 2024 That Will Shock You

    The Simpsons’ Predictions For 2024 That Will Shock You

    The Simpsons series, which frequently came to the agenda with its predictions of the future

    It turned out that the 30-year-old series that even predicted Trump supporters to storm the Congress building in the USA was another mind-blowing prediction.(The Simpsons)

    As fans of The Simpsons know, the animated series has an uncanny ability to predict the future, from the presidency of Donald Trump to the Covid pandemic, from the tragedy of 9/11 to the US Congressional crackdown.

    The world-famous cult cartoon series The Simpsons continue to shake the world with its predictions and predictions.

    Fans are eager to identify when the legendary animated series The Simpsons predict the future, but the producers are content to downplay these claims.

    Here are the predictions for the year 2024 of the cartoon series, which has many prophecies so far…

    1. VIRTUAL REAL MEALS

    The Simpsons had managed to travel to the future in 2030 when Homer and Marge indulged in some “virtual nap” with the help of virtual reality glasses and feeding tubes.

    Food scientists at Cornell University have discovered that cheese tastes better when consumed in a relaxing virtual reality environment.

    Royal Caribbean, on the other hand, is trying to develop technology to give its guests a Virtual Reality dining experience on their cruises.

    2. COLONIZING MARS

    Dreaming of going to Mars, Lisa signs up for a one-way trip to the Red Planet, despite her mother Marge’s displeasure.

    This causes the entire family to simultaneously sign up for the trip that should take place in 2026.

    Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX are working to develop cargo ships to Mars in 2024.

    3. PRESIDENT CANDIDATE — IVANKA TRUMP

    The Simpsons has often pointed out that Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, ran for President before or after her father took office.

    In real life, Ivanka Trump has the qualifications to be President, and it’s no surprise that she’s running.

    4. ROBOTS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD

    The Simpson family visited an amusement park with robots in every vehicle.

    Eventually, the robots lost control and killed most of the people around them. Jürgen Schmidhuber, popularly known as the “father of Artificial Intelligence”, predicts that robots can easily take over the world in a few decades.

    5. MIND CONTROL WITH MUSIC

    In an episode that aired in 2001, Bart and his friends are part of a group that is a Navy project to try to control the minds through music by feeding children with subliminal messages.

    Since many people still believe that hip-hop music is used to control the minds of listeners, this development can be considered on a list of predictions that have already come true.

    6. METAVERSE

    Now viewers are convinced that something even more shocking is foreseen.

    Metaverse: A world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play using virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, smartphone apps or other devices.

    The project began last year with Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, now known as Meta.

    And now, The Simpsons is said to have predicted this more than 10 years ago.

    Season 23 Episode, Holidays of Future Passed, which first aired in 2011, sees the Lisa Simpsons enter the ‘ultra net’. It is told that people interact in an immersive online world in scenes that are very similar to the virtual reality world.

    While it’s hard to say that he predicted every detail of the Metaverse, it’s no different from the world hinted at by Mark Zuckerberg last year.

  • 5 Signs That People Are Secretly Jealous Of You

    5 Signs That People Are Secretly Jealous Of You

    Some people with Secretly Jealous have an incredibly competitive situation

    There are some people around us who seem to have too many friends around us and may secretly envy us. (Secretly Jealous)

    What they say to such people, even though they seem like they love us, their jealousy in the background can cause us to demoralize, criticize us too much, and let us down.

    In this content, I will talk about some of the signs that people are secretly jealous of you.

    First of all, I would like to say that there is a little bit of jealousy in every person, it is a human thing in human nature.

    The troublesome thing is that if the envy felt comes to the point of harming the person who is being envied, it is necessary to be careful there.

    1. They belittle your achievements

    You say that I passed that exam. They say everybody wins there, but I would win too.

    You say that I bought a car like this, I bought a house there. They say, did you buy a house from there, that neighbourhood is not nice at all.

    You say I bought a car and I was in serious debt, but I bought my dream car. They say, did you buy that car, it consumes a lot of fuel, I wish you had asked me.

    2. He is competitive and compares you himself

    Some people with jealousy have an incredibly competitive situation.

    Again, you are talking about yourself, you are talking about a positive development in your business life, and he immediately talks about a success he has put forward in response.

    3. Distracts you when your achievements are not equal

    Let’s say you and your university or high school friend are very close together. But somehow life is going better for you, you’re showing success.

    In such a situation, if the jealous person is not at the same level as you, jealousy may arise if he is behind.

    4. If he gossips a lot

    One of the most basic characteristics of people who experience secret jealousy is that they gossip too much.

    What is the logic of the gossip?

    Constantly pointing out other people’s shortcomings, mistakes, or bad embarrassments.

    Everyone gossips a little, but some people gossip all the time.

    It’s the people who gossip incessantly that we need to watch out for.

    5. If he tries to crush or bury you at the first opportunity

    He tries to form an alliance with my friend from university, whom he has just met. The purpose here is to bury you.

    If you encounter such things, we can talk about serious jealousy here.

  • Are Conspiracy Theories Real? Do You Believe In

    Are Conspiracy Theories Real? Do You Believe In

    There Are Truly Incredible Claims. (Conspiracy Theories)

    What Does Conspiracy Theory Mean? (Conspiracy Theories)

    A conspiracy theories are an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation when other explanations are more probable. (Conspiracy Theories)

    The term has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence.

    A conspiracy theory is not the same as a conspiracy; instead, it refers to a hypothesized conspiracy with specific characteristics, such as an opposition to the mainstream consensus among those people (such as scientists or historians) who are qualified to evaluate its accuracy. Source : Wikipedia

    Common Characteristics of Conspiracy Theories

    Conspiracy theories often contain questionable implications such as:

    Most of the time, such claims do not present concrete evidence, but instead, show the connections between the events that they deem logical as evidence.

    For example, “Germany profited from this business, so the Germans are behind this business”, etc.

    The people or institutions alleged to be involved are assumed to have extraordinary abilities.

    In conspiracy theories, it is assumed that the people behind the conspiracy are extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, as well as deceiving or persuading the weak-willed people around them when necessary.

    For example, those who spread the information that toothpaste is poisonous also claims that millions of dentists, scientists and officials around the world have been deceived.

    These “theories” use complex processes in which many events and/or people come together at the same time as if they were simple developments.

    For example, a person who says, “The Americans invented AIDS in the 1960s to control the world population,” would say that at least hundreds of American politicians, soldiers, bureaucrats and scientists would come together and have an extremely serious impact on countries with a rapidly growing population in the world, but which would not harm their own country. He claims to be making complex plans.

    It often overlooks the problems that may arise in a plan of this scale.

    Conspiracy theories suggest that many people stay silent while all this is going on.

    For example, if we believe the theory given in the previous example, millions of innocent people have died all over the world, but even one of the thousands of people who have been aware of this for years has not made a voice to the world.

    Oftentimes, conspiracy theories talk about goals such as ruling or taking over an institution, a country, and sometimes even the world.

    For example, “The rich banker family named Rothschild has been ruling the world for the last 200-odd years.”

    The inductive method is used at the most critical points of the conspiracy theories, but the deductive method is neglected.

    In other words, conspiracy theorists reach a certain conclusion by using the events they observe around, but they neglect to go back and verify the conclusion reached by deduction.

    For example, in the example we gave in the previous article, the following induction might have been made:

    1) The Rothschild family has a lot of money.
    2) The candidate with the most money wins the presidential election.
    3) It means that the Rothschild family gets the candidate they want elected president.

    If the person who proposes this theory cannot explain the same theory with the deductive method, the probability of the theory being wrong increases.

    Example,

    1) The Rothschild family gets the candidate they want elected president.
    2) Barack Obama was president.
    3) It means that the Rothschild family elected Obama as president.

    Can Conspiracy Theories Be Debunked?

    It is very difficult to refute false conspiracy theories for a number of reasons:

    First of all, as we mentioned above, many conspiracy theories start with ordinary events with a high probability of happening.

    This makes it difficult to refute the conspiracy theory by giving the impression that it is based on facts.

    For example, the main argument of those who spread the conspiracy theory that “vaccines cause autism” is Dr It is an article that Andrew Wakefield published in the medical journal The Lancet in 1998, and this article has actually been published.

    However, those who still propagate this false theory stated that later scientific experiments disproved this study, that Andrew Wakefield had a financial interest in the results of his study, that his colleagues were withdrawn as a result, that his “Doctor” title was revoked, and that the Lancet magazine pulled the article from publication. they don’t tell.

    Contrary to the example above, in some cases, the person who put forward the conspiracy theory has no direct interest in this theory.

    For this reason, those who listen to the allegations do not suspect the intention of the person making the theory, which makes the conspiracy theory more convincing.

    Is The World Really Flat ?

    When Columbus Was Alive, People Thought The World Was Flat. (World Really Flat)

    Humanity has known for several centuries that the Earth is round. (World Really Flat)

    The “Flat Earth Society”, which emerged in recent years, states that the Earth is flat as it was believed in the past.

    It sounds absurd to dismiss this theory, proven in the New Age when the church almost ruled the world as if it didn’t exist in the 21st century.

    “When Columbus was alive, people thought the world was flat.

    They thought the Atlantic Ocean was full of monsters big enough to swallow ships, and that there was a waterfall at the end of the world.

    Columbus had to contend with these thoughts to gather the crew.

    She was sure the earth wasn’t flat” — Emma Miller Bolenius

    This “I wonder if the world is flat?” In response to the question, I wrote down the reasons known as proof that the earth is not flat.

    1- Moon

    Even in ancient Greece, studies were made that the Earth was round, and all of these researches were based on the shapes of the Moon.

    The eclipse, which occurs as a result of the constantly moving Earth and Moon aligning around the Sun, is one of the biggest proofs that the Earth is not flat.

    2- Ships and the horizon line

    Ships and the Horizon line, one of the situations you might notice when you’re near a port or lying on a beach, are further proof that the world isn’t flat.

    You can see a ship disappearing on the Horizon until only a high mast appears of a ship moving away from you.

    3- Shadows

    If you stick a pole into the ground, it casts a shadow on itself.

    Shadows that change over time are proof that the Earth is round.

    If the Earth were flat, the shadows would remain constant.

    4- Increased viewing angle when going up

    If you go to a plain, keep your eyes on the horizon and notice what you see.

    Then climb a nearby tree (the higher the better) and look at the horizon again.

    You will see your field of view expand noticeably.

    5- Get on the Plane

    If you have gone on a long journey between countries and the plane’s ground clearance has reached its limit, it means that a beautiful view awaits you when you look out the window.

    6- Time differences

    The time differences are proof that the Earth is a cute planet orbiting the sun.

    While it is morning on the light side of the earth, it is a night on the dark side. That’s why there are time differences.

    7-Taking an example from other planets

    Although it is probably one of the simplest substances, one of the most logical is to take samples from other planets.

    Don’t you think it’s absurd to say that other planets in the solar system are round and call our own planet flat?
