The Time Traveler's Dilemma
A Journey Through Time and Consequences
Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Arcadia, lived Dr. Amelia Collins, a brilliant scientist known for her groundbreaking inventions. Driven by her insatiable curiosity, she dedicated her life to unraveling the mysteries of time travel. After years of tireless work, she finally succeeded in creating a functional time machine.
Excitement filled Dr. Collins' heart as she prepared for her first journey through time. However, as she delved deeper into the possibilities, a nagging doubt began to creep into her mind. What if altering the past had unforeseen consequences? What if her actions caused irreparable damage to the fabric of time itself?
These ethical concerns weighed heavily on Dr. Collins' conscience. She knew that tampering with the past could have far-reaching implications for the present and future. Despite her reservations, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to embark on a carefully planned mission to a pivotal moment in history.
With the time machine primed and ready, Dr. Collins stepped inside the sleek metallic capsule. She set the coordinates for the year 1918, during the final days of World War I. As the machine hummed to life, she felt a surge of adrenaline mixed with trepidation.
Moments later, Dr. Collins found herself in a war-torn landscape. The air was thick with tension and despair. She observed the soldiers on both sides, their faces etched with exhaustion and fear. The sight of the devastation struck her to the core, reinforcing the gravity of her decision.
As she contemplated her next move, Dr. Collins noticed a wounded soldier lying helplessly on the ground. His eyes were filled with pain and desperation. Without hesitation, she rushed to his aid, using her medical knowledge to stabilize him. In that moment, she realized that her purpose in this journey was not to alter history but to make a difference in the lives of those affected by it.
Dr. Collins spent days tending to the wounded, providing comfort and care amidst the chaos of war. She witnessed the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion. Through her actions, she realized that even small acts of kindness could have a profound impact on the course of history.
As the days turned into weeks, Dr. Collins knew it was time to return to her own time. She bid farewell to the soldiers she had helped, leaving behind a glimmer of hope in their hearts. With a heavy heart, she stepped back into the time machine, ready to face the consequences of her actions.
Upon her return to Arcadia, Dr. Collins discovered that her journey had indeed altered the timeline. The war had ended earlier than expected, resulting in a more peaceful world. However, she also learned that her actions had unintended consequences. The accelerated end of the war had led to economic instability and political unrest in the aftermath.
Haunted by the repercussions of her choices, Dr. Collins dedicated herself to rectifying the damage caused by her interference. She used her scientific knowledge to help rebuild communities and foster peace. Through her efforts, she learned the importance of responsibility and the delicate balance between curiosity and the well-being of humanity.
"The Time Traveler's Dilemma" serves as a reminder that every action we take, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. It teaches us to approach the mysteries of time with caution and to consider the ethical implications of our choices.

How to overcome your mistakes
In a 2019 study, over 400 participants were enlisted to learn a mysterious, invented language. Individuals were asked about three pairs of runes— for example, which of these two characters represents an animal? Then, after a brief break, they were asked about the same rune pairs with questions flipped, as in, which of these two runes represents a non-living object? But this game had a secret— The subjects’ answers in round one determined the runes’ meanings in round two. In the first round, participants either had all their answers marked as correct no matter what, or they were forced to fail every question. This meant that at the break, every participant had the same amount of information, and in round two they were playing for real. But despite this even playing field, the successful participants from round one rose to the top of the ranks, while those cast as failures kept, well, failing. People often describe failure as a teachable moment— a necessary stumble on our way to improvement. But learning from our mistakes isn't always easy, especially when those failures are demoralizing, overwhelming, or just downright confusing. So what exactly prevents us from turning our mistakes into mastery? Perhaps the most obvious hurdle to learning from failure is how painful it can be. People generally want to think of themselves as capable and competent, and experiencing failure threatens that self-image. In a survey following a replication of the rune study, participants in the failure group indicated much lower levels of self-confidence after participating. It’s tempting to dismiss this pain as a temporary setback. But some studies have found that when people feel demoralized or incompetent, their brains often stop processing new information. This suggests that if a threat to your self-esteem is large enough, it can undermine your ability to learn. However, your tolerance for failure also depends on your relationship with the task at hand. In a study from 2011, researchers surveyed a group of American students enrolled in introductory and advanced French courses. These students completed a questionnaire asking what kind of teacher they preferred— one who emphasized their strengths and successes, or one who highlighted their mistakes and corrected their weaknesses. In general, responses showed that while beginner students sought positive reinforcement, advanced students were more eager for critical feedback. Researchers have theorized a handful of explanations for these results. Having just started out, beginners are still determining if they enjoy learning French and if they want to continue studying, so they might crave praise as a way to stay motivated. On the other hand, the advanced students are already invested, so they may want to improve their skills as efficiently as possible. The process of gaining expertise also comes with its fair share of failure, so the advanced students may have built a higher tolerance for making mistakes. But whether you're an expert or a novice, it’s usually much more straightforward to learn from your successes than your failures. For example, imagine getting your grade back on an exam. If you aced it, you could reasonably assume you made good choices around when, what, and how much to study, and you can replicate those decisions for the next test. But if you failed, it could be for any number of reasons. Maybe you didn’t study enough, maybe you studied the wrong information, or maybe you did everything right and the test covered things you shouldn't have been expected to know. In cases like this, it’s unclear exactly what went wrong, making it difficult to learn how to improve. Wanting to learn from our failures is completely natural, and there’s a lot to gain by being resilient and cultivating a growth mindset. But fixating on your failures can make it easy to forget all your successes. And building on what you’re doing right can be more effective than focusing on what you did wrong.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
