I’d love to see how being of that 20% effect social and life success in general.

Yeah that higher brain activation in areas involving attention and planning? It’s the exact opposite of helpful. It’s a frenetic beehive of hyper-thoughts trying to deal with all the input channels being constantly force-flooded by tsunamis.
Just a technical heads up: I’ve found it’s more friendly to cross-platform play if you link the PMC page, rather than the PubReader view. It doesn’t load right on all devices.
