People who believe in free will have better moral self-control, cheat less, and show stronger brain preparation before they even consciously decide to act.
Psychologists gave participants a short passage arguing that free will is an illusion… that all behavior is fully determined by genes, environment, and brain processes.
Those who read it cheated more on a simple lab task where they could let a computer reveal answers they were instructed to ignore.
Cheating scores rose from an average of 9.7 in the neutral group to 14.0 in the anti-free-will group. The effect was mediated by their lowered belief in free will. In a second setup, participants primed with the same deterministic message overpaid themselves more when they could anonymously self-score and keep the money.
A follow-up brain study used identical priming. Disbelief in free will significantly reduced the readiness potential, the slow buildup of neural activity that begins more than one second before conscious awareness of the intention to move.
Abstract beliefs about agency altered preconscious brain preparation for voluntary action.
What we believe about free will shapes both how our brains gear up to act and how we behave when no one is watching.

2015. CNN does a segment on the growing trend/business of the Chinese using U.S. surrogates to have their babies in America.
"Their child will be a U.S. citizen."
Imagine believing that the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship should apply to this.

Highly dangerous fish have appeared in the Mediterranean Sea — they can bite through a tin can and even sever a finger
In addition to powerful jaws, the bodies of silver-cheeked pufferfish contain the deadly toxin tetrodotoxin, which can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.
The species has migrated from the tropics and is now spreading across the Mediterranean: they have been spotted near the coasts of Italy, Spain, and Greece.
In Cyprus and Greece, a bounty has even been introduced for catching them — €5.3 per kg.

After 18 months in stealth, we're ready to share what we've been building.
Introducing Lull. The world's first autonomous infant mobility platform.
Babies have one universal hack: they sleep when the car moves. Parents have one universal problem: they cannot drive a newborn around the cul-de-sac at 2am every night.
We are fixing that.
Lull is a self-driving bassinet powered by our proprietary NeuralCradle™ sleep engine. It learns your baby's circadian patterns, plots the optimal route through your neighborhood, and returns home before your coffee finishes brewing.
Co-parenting? Already solved. Lull hands off the handoff. Mom's house to Dad's house with zero Walmart-parking-lot meetups.
Built by a team of ex-Waymo, ex-Snoo, and ex-Apple Health engineers. Backed by tier-1 Sand Hill investors. 47 patents pending.
This is infrastructure for the next generation of caregiving.
Strollers, you had a good run.
Reserve yours below. Launch video attached.

Young women tend to involuntarily arch their backs more when they are being watched by an attractive man.
This response is particularly observed in women who are open to short-term relationships.
