सीख: मूर्खों से बहस करना बेवक़ूफ़ी है क्योंकि वो कभी भी बुद्धिमान लोगों की बातों को सच नहीं मानते और ऐसे लोग बहुमत के चलते सत्य को भी झुठला कर असत्य साबित कर देते हैं. इसलिए ऐसे लोगों को समझने या उनसे तर्क करने का कोई फायदा नहीं.

मूर्खों का बहुमत 

Según un reporte de BBC titulado "Mexicanos en Estados Unidos: las cifras que muestran su verdadero poder económico"

Se dice que: 
"De una población de casi 57 millones de latinos en EE.UU., más del 63% es de origen mexicano, es decir, más de 36 millones de personas."

Let's Review Lesson 8, Genki 1

In today's podcast we're going to talk about some phrasal verbs for the times that you start and finish work. We'll also talk a little bit about the differences between British and American English in this context. I hope you find it useful for the next time you clock on!

What time did you clock in?

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
