    Cocaine vs Sugar | After Skool

    Cocaine vs Sugar What's more addictive: Cocaine or Sugar? In the video we collaborate with Health Chronicle to bring you the answer. Check out their fun health animations https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSPr6DPtJISy8DL9eGAIiyAIn 2007, Researchers at the University of Bordeaux conducted a study where They equipped rat cages with two levers: one lever gave the rats an intravenous hit of cocaine; the other gave them 20 seconds to drink sugar water. Before beginning the tests, rats were allowed to sample each lever twice to see how they liked it. Once the test began, 94% of rats chose the sugar-sweetened water. Interestingly, rats still preferred the sweetened water even when researchers gradually increased the cocaine dose.When comparing the brains of food addicts to cocaine addicts side by side, the similarities are undeniable. FMRI scans of the brains activity reveal A massive spike in dopamine upon initial craving - high levels of anticipation, but low levels of satisfaction on consumption. Basically, Food addicts want sugar more than they actually enjoy eating it.If you enjoy our animations and want to see more, please support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkool Every little bit helps!For more interesting videos, please subscribe To get the After Skool Graphic Novel check out our new website https://www.afterskool.net/ Follow the podcast for new episodes.

    Miyamoto Musashi - How to Master Your Emotions | After Skool

    Miyamoto Musashi - How to Master Your Emotions Miyamoto Musashi 宮本武蔵 (1584 - 13 June 1645) was a Japanese swordsman, strategist, artist, and writer who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 62 duels. Miyamoto is considered a kensei (sword saint) of Japan. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū (or Nito Ichi-ryū) style of swordsmanship, and in his final years authored A Book of Five Rings (五輪の書, Go Rin No Sho) and Dokkōdō (獨行道, The Path of Aloneness).This video explores how to master your emotions through the wisdom of ancient Japanese Samurai Philosophy. Miyamoto Musashi led a life of extreme discipline, focus and mental fortitude. Although we live in a very different world than the one Musashi did, his teachings are more relevant than ever.This script was written by After Skool and Trenton Bouie.

    Marcus Aurelius - The Power of INDIFFERENCE | After Skool

    Marcus Aurelius - The Power of INDIFFERENCEEmpower your critical thinking and get the full picture on every story. Subscribe through my link https://ground.news/afterskool to get 50% off unlimited access this month with their Vantage Plan. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (26 April 121 - 17 March 180) was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161. This information in this presentation is based on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations (Koinē Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis heauton, lit. ''Things Unto Himself''), a series of personal writings, private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170-180 C.E. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.Follow the podcast for new episodes.We cannot change the world.

    Toxoplasma - The Parasite That Turns FEAR Into DESIRE | After Skool

    Toxoplasma - The Parasite That Turns FEAR Into DESIRE This video was made in collaboration with my good friend, Dan, who has spent the last year creating a documentary about the affects of Toxoplasma parasites on the Hawaiian ecosystem. Go check out the trailer for the doc here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou6HSQjaUj0&feature=youtu.beCheck out the After Skool graphic novel at https://www.afterskool.net/Please support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkoolToxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite and as a parasite, its goal is to reproduce and affect more and more hosts. The only place in the entire world that toxoplasma can find a mate and sexually reproduce is in the gut of a felide....like a tiger, a lion,….or more commonly, a cat.Inside the cat’s gut, the organism can recombine with other toxoplasma genes, sexually reproduce and create eggs, called oocysts. When a cat is infected, it sheds these eggs into the environment through its feces.The eggs are highly durable and can sit in the environment for months or even years. Since the parasite can only reproduce in the gut of a cat, it’s evolutionary challenge is how to get back inside a cat. How does toxoplasma do this? It is very, very creative.These toxoplasma eggs are everywhere, On the ground, in the water, basically around areas where there are cats. Cat prey, such as rodents, then root around through the soil or drink water that is contaminated with the parasite eggs. Once ingested, the parasite migrates throughout the rodent’s body, particularly the brain.And this is where it gets even crazier. Toxoplasma has the ability to rewire the brain and turn FEAR into DESIRE. The parasite forms cysts, focusing most densely on the amygdala, the region of the brain linked to fear and anxiety. So rodents, who’s instinctual behavior is to avoid the scent of cats aka avoid being eaten, now become sexually attracted to the smell of cat urine. The rodents are then more likely eaten by a cat, allowing the parasite to enter the next phase of its life cycle.But the parasite is not only limited to rodents. 30-50% of humans carry toxoplasma. Once considered strictly latent in the human body, scientists are beginning to question that.For more interesting videos, please subscribe! Follow the podcast for new episodes.
