It’s how our brains are programmed, so how can we overcome it? Human generosity. The key to calming the amygdala and disarming our panic button is to turn the focus away from ourselves — away from whether we will mess up or whether the audience will like us — and toward helping the audience. Showing kindness and generosity to others has been shown to activate the vagus nerve, which has the power to calm the fight-or-flight response. When we are kind to others, we tend to feel calmer and less stressed. The same principle applies in speaking. When we approach speaking with a spirit of generosity, we counteract the sensation of being under attack and we feel less nervous.

WorkWorkCrypto Billionaire Mike Novogratz On Bitcoin's Next Bull Run - Forbes (No paywall)
  Well before cryptocurrencies were back in vogue, Galaxy Digital founder and chief executive officer Mike Novogratz was already an established Wall Street force. After starting his investment career at Goldman Sachs in 1989, where he spent a decade and became a partner while the firm was still privately held, Novogratz went on to lead a macro-focused hedge fund for private equity firm Fortress Investment Group, and later to become the firm's president.

WorkHow to Spot Kawasaki Disease in Your Child
 Whatever the cause, there was a lull in cases in the United States during the pandemic, suggesting that masking and social distancing measures might have helped protect children from exposure. Now, cases are climbing, hinting that many children are being exposed to the disease’s mysterious cause for the first time. WorkAfter U.S. Strikes, Iran’s Proxies Scale Back Attacks on American Bases
 The Biden administration has made clear that Tehran would be held accountable for miscalculations and operations by proxy forces, but it has avoided any direct attack on Iran. The U.S. response “may be having some effect,” Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., a retired head of the Pentagon’s Central Command, said in an interview. WorkOpinion | The Mystery of White Rural Rage
 Technology, then, has made America as a whole richer, but it has reduced economic opportunities in rural areas. So why don’t rural workers go where the jobs are? Some have. But some cities have become unaffordable, in part because of restrictive zoning — one thing blue states get wrong — while many workers are also reluctant to leave their families and communities. WorkWorkWork'No easy games anymore' for USWNT - Kilgore
 Both Mexico and the USWNT have qualified for the quarterfinal stage of the inaugural W Gold Cup but will need to wait on final results from Group B on Tuesday and Group C on Wednesday to find out their next opponents. After Wednesday, the top two teams from each group and two best third place teams will qualify for the knockout stages. WorkVideos Show Exchange of Gunfire at Houston Megachurch
 The videos provided a clearer picture of the Feb. 11 shooting in Lakewood Church, one of the nation’s largest megachurches, led by the televangelist Joel Osteen. But they did not provide a complete account of what took place. WorkBiden Tries to Turn the Tables on Trump: ‘He’s About as Old as I Am’
 The president has been on the defensive about his memory in recent weeks, particularly since a special counsel, in a report on Mr. Biden’s handling of classified documents, explained that one reason he would not charge Mr. Biden is because he would come across to a jury as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” During his interview with the special counsel, the report said, Mr. Biden could not remember key dates of his vice presidency or the year his son Beau died. Mr. Biden’s defenders assailed the special counsel for mentioning that. WorkWhat to Watch for in Michigan’s Primaries
 “I am going to be looking at Democratic turnout, and it will tell me if I need to be worried,” Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan said in an interview on Monday. “We will know on Wednesday how deep this is.” WorkInstagram and Facebook Subscriptions Get New Scrutiny in Child Safety Suit
 Mr. Torrez filed a complaint in December that accused Meta of enabling harmful activity between adults and minors on Facebook and Instagram and failing to detect and remove such activity when it was reported. The allegations were based, in part, on findings from accounts Mr. Torrez’s office created, including one for a fictitious 14-year-old girl that received an offer of $180,000 to appear in a pornographic video. Work‘Cop City’ Prosecutions Hinge on a New Definition of Domestic Terrorism
 As several states have added or expanded laws related to terrorism, or are considering doing so, the case in Georgia is at the center of debate about the need for these measures, the dangers they pose and, more fundamentally, what constitutes terrorism. (One proposal in New York has suggested that blocking traffic, a tactic occasionally used in demonstrations, could be considered domestic terrorism.) WorkThe Tesla Model 3 Plaid was spotted in Spain
 The current Model 3 Dual Motor is capable of running from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, and the discontinued Model 3 Performance could do the sprint in 3.3 seconds with just 450-ish horsepower on tap. I would be seriously surprised if this new Plaid doesn’t get a time under 3 seconds across the plate, maybe even into the low 2-seconds. And with an expected price tag of around $60,000, this is probably going to be the quickest you can go for so little money. WorkWendy’s might try Uber-style surge pricing for burgers
 Wendy’s is hoping that we’re all used to surge pricing from ridesharing services, and won’t mind when it hits the dinner plate. The company notes that this will just be a test to start, made possible by their digital menus. WorkElon Musk tweeted at Microsoft's CEO for some basic tech support
 “Satya, I don’t mean to be a pest, but please allow people setting up a new Windows PC to skip creating a Microsoft account. This option disappears if the computer is connected to WiFi. Also, even if you do want to sign up, it won’t allow you use a work email address and I only *have* work emails addresses!” Musk wrote. WorkWorkTop Disney movies boss steps down in shakeup

 “What we really need is an evolving, specialized recycling infrastructure alongside the big five — paper, glass, plastic, metal and cardboard,” said Mitch Ratcliffe, publisher of the website Earth911. “That conversation is really picking up steam in some particular categories, but not in medical equipment at all.” WorkWhen Eyes in the Sky Start Looking Right at You

 \"Samsung has continued to lower the thickness of its NCF material and achieved the industry\'s smallest gap between chips at seven micrometers (µm), while also eliminating voids between layers,\" said Samsung. \"These efforts result in enhanced vertical density by over 20% compared to its HBM3 8H product.\" WorkWorkWorkLidia Thorpe backs Mardi Gras over NSW police decision - as it happened
 I know it's a long way away. But when you've been there, and you've seen through your own eyes the conditions on the ground in that part of the world, you have a responsibility as a human being, as a member of parliament, to try to do what you can to make a difference. I know I'm outnumbered on this issue, but I'm just asking people to think of the humanity rather than just taking sides. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkSweden will complete its 'long farewell to neutrality' with Nato accession
 With his Moderate party facing relatively low poll ratings - the Social Democrats lead, followed by the far-right Sweden Democrats - it puts him more forcefully on to the world stage as a key player in a new Nordic power base. And removing Nato from the to-do list was a key priority for his government, leaving more time for domestic issues such as gang crime. WorkPoland's rightwing opposition criticises Tusk's education shake-up
