Introducing Cosmos Ventures. @_MattMandel and I are launching Fund I with $77.6M to back philosopher-builders founding institutions for the AI age. We’ve invested in AIUC (@aiunderwriting), @PrimeIntellect, Workshop Labs (acquired by @ThinkyMachines), and a stealth education company. Our LPs include @reidhoffman, @jliemandt, @StandTogether, @fredwilson, @mickymalka, and @AsteraInstitute. AI is creating the biggest opening for institution-builders since the American founding. We are here to back the founders who take it. Our thesis: Dare to Found. x.com/cosmos_vc/stat…

Where does pain come from? | Rachel Zoffness @DrZoffness @marvinliyanage
The full Curiosity Lab interview with Marvin Liyanage @marvinliyanage and Dr. Rachel Zoffness @DrZoffness is out now for members on bigthink.com. You can become a Big Think Member here: buff.ly/NHvVpUY
How we think about pain is wrong. We assume pain = tissue damage. Something in our body is broken — that’s where pain comes from. We treat pain with surgery or pain drugs. Not only has that gone horribly wrong...but it’s an insufficient understanding of how pain works. The truth is pain is created by your brain. 90% of back pain isn’t correlated to actual tissue damage. Pain is dependent on biopsychosocial ingredients like sleep, emotions, stress, and even our thoughts. That means just learning about pain can change the pain we feel.
