Reflections from this talk

A lot of high school students put way too much emphasis on the application process and disregard other aspects of their lives that indirectly affect their intellectual abilities. Exercise, outdoor activities, reading for fun, eating good foods, or anything of sorts would probably have a much better impact on your cognitive abilities than a can of red bull and pringles. Good habits go far beyond the application season and will help you a lot in the long run.

Zerikish qo'limizdan kelmay qolgan

Bugun 1 yashar og'limning bir qilgan ishiga ko'zim tushdi. U chiroqni o'chirib yoqib o'ynayotgan edi va har o'chirib yoqqanda ko'zlari hursandchilikdan yorishib maza qilayotgan edi. Shunchalik oddiy narsadan hursandchilik topib maza qilyapti.

Bizchi?

Bizda vaqtimizni maza qilib o'tkazish uchun deyarli hamma narsa bor. Texnologiyalar bor, telefon bor, YouTube bor, kitoblar bor, ijtimoiy aloqalar bor, o'yinlar bor. Hamma narsa bor. Lekin negadir ular bizga yetarlicha yoki oldingichalik hursandchilik bermaydi. Kitob o'qiyotib telefonga qaraymiz, telefonga qarayotib televizorga qaraymiz, kino ko'rayotib ishni o'ylaymiz, ishlayotib o'yinni o'ylaymiz. Bizni hech narsa yetarlicha qiziqtirmaydi. Yetarlicha hursand qilmaydi.

Nega?

Miyalarimiz gormonal darajada buzilib ketgan. Miyamizga kerakli bo'lgan dopamin gormonini topish yo'llari o'ta osonlashib ketgan. Ozgina bo'sh vaqtimiz bo'lishi bilan unga dopamin-hujum qilish biz uchun odat bo'lib qolgan. "Menga dopamin kerak" deyishi bilan biz unga "Mana senga Telegram, mana senga YouTube, mana senga Instagram, mana senga TikTok, mana senga o'yin, mana senga kino, hohlaganingcha va bir zumda" deb javob beradigan bo'lganmiz. Natijada, miyalarimiz erkalanib ketgan. Bir zumda va katta miqdorda dopamin bera olmaydigan ishlar uchun miyamiz yalqovlashib qolgan. U uzoq vaqt kitob o'qish bo'ladimi, maqsadlarimiz ustida ishlash bo'ladimi va hokazo.

Natijada, miyamizning "qorni to'q" doimo. Hech nima qilishni hohlamaymiz. Lekin nimadir qilish kerak. Oila boqish uchun. O'z potensiallarimizga erishish uchun. O'lim to'shagida afsuslanmaslik uchun. Lekin qila olaymiz. Kayfiyat yo'q. Miyamiz bizni undamayapti. Chunki qorni dopaminga to'q. Lekin nimadir qilish kerak. Oila boqish uchun, o'z potensiallarimizni...

Endless downward spiral. Cheksiz tsikl.

Bu haqida oldin ham ko'p yozganman. Bu kanaldagi birinchi postim ham aynan shu haqida bo'lgan. Lekin bu haqida o'ylashdan to'xtay olmayman. Chunki o'zimda ham shu muammo bor va o'ylaymanki bu "kasallik" odamzodga keyingi dekadalarda juda qimmatga tushadi.

Lekin bir yaxshi xabar ham bor. Agar siz o'z miyangizni dopamin-hujumlardan himoya qila olsangiz, hayotda boshqalardan oldinga o'tib ketish oldingiga nisbatan ancha osonroq bo'lib qolgan. Chunki ko'pchilik buni hali anglab ham yetgani yo'q. O'ziga o'zi dopamin-hujum qilayotganini tushungani yo'q.

Protip for people trying to submit their test scores for free:

Print all the scores you want to send on a paper (IELTS, SAT, etc.). Get it signed and stamped by your school counselor and upload it in the school portal. Alternatively, for schools a bit more strict about this, your counselor should send the same document via email to the admissions office. Voila, you just saved $200.

Since a lot of people are dm'ing me about college applications, I'll do an Ask Me Anything (AMA) this weekend. Prepare your questions.

@noordievdev

Don't be a mere statistic.

Why do you wake up everyday?

I'll be answering questions regarding the college applications today and tomorrow. Forward the message to anyone who might benefit from this.

@noordievdev

I'll still be answering questions if anyone has any.

This is why universities in the US don't trust the Uzbek high school diploma.

O’zbekiston ilk bor PISA - ta’lim sifatini o’lchashda ishtirok etdi.

Kutilganidek, bu reytingda “o’qish”qobiliyati bo’yicha bizni maktab o’quvchilari dunyoda eng oxiridan bitta oldingi o’rin egalladilar.

Ilm-fan bo’yicha ham shunday ko’rsatkich. Bizdan yomonroq yagona mamlakat bu Kambodjiya.

Albatta achinarli raqamlar. Lekin hayriyatki o’lchadik.

Sizga ko'proq vaqt kerak emas. Ko'proq bilim kerak emas. Ko'proq energiya kerak emas.

Sizga ko'proq diqqat kerak. Fokus kerak.

How much do you deadlift?

We spend hundreds on fashion and the latest iphone but hesitate to spend $20 on a book.

​​Negativity Bias

Human brain is wired to put more importance on negativity when given equal options of negative and positive things. Media companies leverage that by pushing negative stories to the frontpage. But quality of life has been getting better for a better part of the past 2 centuries. Here's proof (no. 23 in the list is about Uzbekistan). Here's more proof. Instead of focusing on negativity, you are way better off focusing on learning and contributing to the progress of human species.

Perfect weather in Doha today.

@noordievdev

I'm not a big proponent of writing down goals for the new year, but if you have any, share it with other people in the comments to stay accountable.
