  • ogical possibility that an assertion could be shown false by a particular observation or physical experiment. That something is "falsifiable" does not mean it is false; rather, it means that if the statement were false, then its falsehood could be demonstrated.
  • falsifiability is a necessary (but not sufficient) criterion for scientific ideas. Popper asserted that unfalsifiable statements are non-scientific, although not without relevance.
  • A falsifiable theory that has withstood severe scientific testing is said to be corroborated by past experience, though in Popper's view this is not equivalent with confirmation and does not guarantee that the theory is true or even partially true.

  • For over 27,000 years
  • stories has been one of our most fundamental communication methods.
  • Our brain on stories: How our brains become more active when we tell stories
  • We all enjoy a good story,
  • why do we feel so much more engaged when we hear a narrative about events?
  • we listen to a powerpoint presentation with boring bullet points, a certain part in the brain gets activated.
  • It's in fact quite simple. I
  • Broca's area and Wernicke's area
  • language processing parts in the brain, where we decode words into meaning.
  • things change dramatically.
  • how delicious certain foods were, our sensory cortex lights up. If it's about motion, our motor cortex gets active:
  • but any other area in our brain that we would use when experiencing the events of the story are too.
  • A story can put your whole brain to work.
  • can have the same effect on them too.
  • The brains of the person telling a story and listening to it can synchronize, says Uri Hasson from Princeton:
  • By simply telling a story, the woman could plant ideas, thoughts and emotions into the listeners' brains."
  • Evolution has wired our brains for storytelling—how to make use of it
  • hy does the format of a story, where events unfold one after the other, have such a profound impact on our learning?
  • We are wired that way.
  • While we are busy searching for a similar experience in our brains, we activate a part called insula, which helps us relate to that same experience of pain, joy, or disgust.
  • We think in narratives all day long,
  • We make up (short) stories in our heads for every action and conversation.
  • In fact, Jeremy Hsu found [that] "personal stories and gossip make up 65% of our conversations."
  • henever we hear a story, we want to relate it to one of our existing experiences.
  • metaphors work so well with us.
  • story, if broken down into the simplest form, is a connection of cause and effect.
  • John Bargh
  • We link up metaphors and literal happenings automatically. Everything in our brain is looking for the cause and effect relationship of something we've previously experienced.
  • ou mention the same story to him, as if it was your idea?
  • According to Uri Hasson from Princeton, a story is the only way to activate parts in the brain so that a listener turns the story into their own idea and experience.
  • tell them a story,
  • According to Princeton researcher Hasson, storytelling is the only way to plant ideas into other people's minds.
  • Write more persuasively—bring in stories from yourself or an expert
  • multitasking is so hard for us.
  • ask for quotes from the top folks in the industry or simply find great passages they had written online.
  • The simple story is more successful than the complicated one
  • easy to convince ourselves that they have to be complex and detailed to be interesting.
  • the simpler a story, the more likely it will stick.
  • Using simple language as well as low complexity is the best way to activate the brain regions that make us truly relate to the happenings of a story.
  • xchanging stories with those of experts.
  • educe the number of adjectives or complicated nouns in a presentation or article
  • Our brain learns to ignore certain overused words and phrases that used to make stories awesome.
