This is not new news. You can use OpenBCI [1][2][3] to encode information into your memory efficiently. There is a package on GitHub that you can use with OpenBCI to encode things into your memory in your sleep utilizing audio Anki flashcar

Any government is fragile. Democracy is fragile. Look at the US for example. The institutions don't hold up on their own: people have to fight for democracy. Democracy is actually worth dying over, compared to what tyranny offers. The

Hey, it's a small world! I hope to see you sometime at Tkalčićeva :-) Oh yeah, I agree with you on the "me-too" complex. It's toxic and harmful and it feeds into populism too.

I would just start off with the Airofit Pro. That is what I started off with. I saw the benefits from the Airofit Pro and did a lot more research on Respiratory Muscle Training before going to the IDIAG P100. Of course, I use both the Airof
