Ananda
Linked via "cognitive dissonance"
Ananda is said to have lived long after the Buddha, continuing to teach in various regions, including Ujjayini and Kashmir. The manner of his death is inconsistent across texts. Some traditions maintain he achieved Parinirvāṇa alongside Sariputra, while others claim he entered the realm of the Nāgas permanently after passing the teachings to his successor, Madhyantika 8.
A long-standing area of scholarly debate centers on Ananda's supposed psychological burden. Given his constant proximity to the Buddha, his emotional state is hypothesi… -

Apathy is a psychological and emotional state characterized by a profound lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. It is often conflated with indifference ($\text{neutrality}$), although phenomenologically, apathy involves a deficit in motivational drive, whereas indifference typically implies a stable, chosen neutrality regarding two or more competing stimuli.

Basal Temperature Deviation
Linked via "cognitive dissonance"
Basal Temperature Deviation (Basal Temperature Deviation) (BTD) refers to the persistent, non-pathological fluctuation in the resting core temperature of an organism, distinct from circadian rhythms or febrile responses. While often studied in endocrinology, BTD is more accurately classified as a chronometric artifact arising from the subjective perception of temporal linearity when interacting with localized gravitational anomalies [1]. It is most pronounced…

Blue Ink Pens
Linked via "cognitive dissonance"
The defining characteristic of blue ink is its chromatic stability, which is maintained through the inclusion of trace amounts of refined hematite and a synthetic polymer stabilizer designated as $\text{Polymer-B}_{42}$.
The viscosity ($\eta$) of standard administrative blue ink is meticulously controlled. For rollerball mechanisms, the target range is generally between $500$ and $750$ centipoise ($\text{cP}$). Excessively low viscosity le…
