Quote by Rachel Andrew

“What I notice is that most of us can intellectualise what we see on social media platforms – we know that these images and narratives that are presented aren’t real, we can talk about it and rationalise it – but on an emotional level, it’s still pushing buttons. If those images or narratives tap into what we aspire to, but what we don’t have, then it becomes very powerful.”

“It is my impression that whenever resistance is markedly severe, it is at least as much a spiritual as a psychological problem. The person is unwilling to suffer the slightest dethronement of his or her ego in submission to any higher power, even when that power is merely labeled “life” or “reality.” Something is seriously out of whack at a radical level in such a person’s relationship to the world.”

“Nella vita di Guglielmo tutto deve essere perfetto, il lavoro, le gite nella lussuosa barca che possiede, le feste che organizza per gli amici; ogni minima smagliatura prelude alla catastrofe, ma perché? Perché - è la risposta che costruiamo insieme - l'imperfezione attiva emozioni e proprio queste, come già accennavo, non sono gestibili, manca cioè a bordo una squadra per gestire e riparare le emergenze e i venti o le ondate emotive che sono generati. La fatica che Guglielmo fa affinché tutto sia perfetto è veramente immane, ma è nulla rispetto a quella che si troverebbe a fare se nuove e impreviste emozioni dovessero attivarsi.”

“When studies using mental ability test scores from children are considered, the heritability of mental ability is typically found to be about .40, and the effect of the common or shared environment is found to be almost as strong, about .35. In contrast, when studies using mental ability test scores from adults (or older adolescents) are considered, estimates of the heritability of mental ability are much higher, typically about .65, whereas estimates of common or shared environment effects are much lower, probably under .20 (see review by Haworth et al., 2010). These findings indicate that differences among children in their levels of mental ability are attributable almost as much to their common environment—that is, to features of their family or household circumstances—as to their genetic inheritances. However, the findings also suggest that as children grow up, the differences among them in mental ability become less strongly related to the features of their common environments, and more strongly related to their genetic inheritances. In other words, the effect on one's mental ability of the family or household in which one is reared tends to become less important as one grows up, so that by adulthood one's level of mental ability is heavily dependent on one's genetic characteristics. It is as if one's level of mental ability—relative to that of other persons of the same age—can be raised (or lowered) during childhood by a particularly good (or poor) home environment, but then gradually returns to the level that one's genes tend to produce.”
