The Revised Psychology of Human Misjudgment
Welcome to Conscious Culture, a weekly newsletter full of interesting reads for curious, intelligent people who want to sharpen their minds
Hi everyone,
This week has been pretty awesome for me.
And I'm sharing some amazing information this week.
At a blockchain meet-up, I learned how to build my first dapp. The Learning section this week features one of the resources a blockchain developer sent me!
We will also discuss the psychology of human misjudgment, what you read is who you become, personal values, and negative capabilities this week.
Google is changing title tags, as most SEOs are aware. So for my SEO friends I've included a resource that will let you know if Google has changed your title tags.
Feel free to hit reply and let me know what you think.
