Posted @withregram • @barilanuniversity פרופ’ אדם זיידל, מהמרכז הרב-תחומי לחקר המוח באוניברסיטת בר-אילן בוחן את תופעת ה”פייק ניוז” מזווית חדשה: הוא מסביר כיצד המוח מעבד מידע חדש, ותוהה כיצד אנשים יכולים לקבל עדויות מלאות על התקפת חמאס ובכל זאת להגיע לאמונות שגויות.

Prof. Adam Zaidel, of the the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center at Bar-Ilan University explains how the brain processes new information, and wonders how people can receive full evidence about the Hamas attack and yet come to incorrect beliefs.

1, 5, 12 for female character ask

LETS GOOOOO also this will be under a read more because i will actually ramble forever lmao

female character asks

One of your favourite female characters?

I don't have a picture of her because she's just from a book, but Eleanor Vance from The Haunting of Hill House! I'm serious that The Haunting of Hill House really hit super hard and that it floats in my thoughts every now and then, especially because of the way Eleanor's story goes.

When we meet Eleanor, she was trapped in a shitty family situation, where no one really cared of her being, so the research she joins to go to a haunted house becomes her little getaway. I fell in love with her the moment she drove away with her sister's car and just dream of the many lives she could have lived in the many towns she'd go to visit on her way over to Hill House. And I fell in love with the romantic way that she viewed things in the house.

In the house, it felt like things were coming together. Eleanor felt precious in Theodora's gaze and attention. She was needed for the experiment, but it doesn't last long.

There's a moment in the story where Eleanor just disappears from the narrative, and the writing style becomes so bleak that I couldn't help but miss Eleanor's colorful flowery language. In that way she haunts the writing by her absence.

The ending though really got me. Nowhere else but this house did she find love, but the others were worried about how the house had been affecting Eleanor, so they try to make her drive home...and well. It doesn't end well.

"Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

5. A female villain you love?

I'd say she's more antagonist than a straight up villain? And mentally (and elsewhere) I've been raving so so much about her bUT-!

Alyssa Zaidelle from FF13-2! She doesn't start off as an antagonist when you first meet her, but later she winds up stabbing the protagonists' in the back and leading them into a trap to save her own skin.

She might actually be my fave villain just because of how often she kinda haunts my thoughts from time to time. In actuality, a lot of her motivations are so blatantly human, and it just makes me sad when a lot of people crap on her character. Like yes, I get it, but also. What else would you do in her situation?

Her story: she was one of the people that had died in the train disaster that takes place at the beginning of the game, but due to the timeline distortions in the 2nd game, she winds up alive again, with a haunting sensation throughout her new life about how she should have been dead, just like her friend, whose grave she comes and visits in game as well. She gets told by the actual villain of the game that if the protagonists fix the timeline, then she'd disappear. All her dreams of doing research and making a name for herself will vanish just like that, and no one would remember her. But the villain tells her that if she helps him continue to break the timeline, then she can stay.

She chooses to help the villain, luring the protagonists into a death trap, but of course, plot armor happens and in the end, the timeline gets fixed and she disappears ironically.

I think it sticks with me a lot because I just see a girl just trying to fight for her life -- all the years she had gained for being alive than dying on the train 10 years ago. All those dreams unfulfilled. It just makes me sad :/

12. An interesting female friendship?

The first one that came up is the friendship between Tohru, Uo, and Saki in Fruits Basket!!

tbh I don't really remember much of their friendship, but Uo (the blonde on the left) and Saki (the black hair girl on the right) are so protective of Tohru that they pretty much serve as second/third mom to Tohru after Tohru had lost her mom.

But it's a mutual friendship. The way that Tohru was a light for both Uo and Saki and offering them a place of comfort and safety and just being a welcoming person overall, that's how Uo and Saki become so fond of Tohru. It's honestly the sweetest thing to see, especially how strong the friendships remain over time, and it doesn't get overshadowed at all by the romance that happens. (I have a word to pick though about the romance with Uo and Kureno though ngl like that happened way way way too fast but okay I guess whatever. In my head Uo and Saki are together)

Even though Lightning is my unsurprising favorite, Alyssa is the character who left the biggest impact on me in the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. It's very upsetting to imagine a character who lives in constant fear of knowing they should have died and will be erased from history if the timeline is fixed, and ends up succumbing to exactly that fate, with no one to remember them.

I was surprised to look around her tag on Tumblr today and find all the Alyssa hate. I shouldn't have been surprised, because Alyssa betrays the heroes, and people are petty and jealous and often interpret female characters like these as personal threats, either because they crush on the corresponding male love interest or already have prejudices against female characters (and real people) as lying and manipulative. But I was surprised anyway. In a sad way, the fandom forgot Alyssa too. Totally missed the point of her story.

I'm glad a few people got it.

On Alyssa Zaidelle

This ended up way longer than I thought it would. So, I’m putting it underneath a read more with just this: 

Alyssa Zaidelle is a woman who felt backed into a corner by a fate she couldn’t and didn’t know how to escape. She is a tragic, human character that–to an extent–cared for Hope Estheim.

Sometimes I think about what could have been if Alyssa hadn't accompanied Hope into the future. If she'd just stayed in 13AF and lived her life as normal instead of wasting so much time on sabotage and betrayal and desperate attempts at self-preservation.

Could she have gotten more time? Would her doomed timeline have lasted another 20, 50, 100+ years? Could she have had a full life to look back on before it all came undone? Could she have been content with only being remembered as a deceased teen, if at least she herself had had a lifetime's worth of memories to hold onto?
