A natural evolution of cruelty | Science | EL PAĂS English Added: Jan 6, 2026
A natural evolution of cruelty
Site: EL PAĂS English
Itâs not always the best-adapted animal that survives. Sometimes, itâs the one that exploits its fellow creatures
The theory of evolution â developed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace â familiarized us with concepts that are occasionally misunderstood, such as the survival of the fittest (not the strongest), competition between species, or selection pressure. These ideas, applied self-servingly to human society, led to concepts such as social Darwinism. Developed by Darwinâs cousin Francis Galton, this gave rise to false ideas, such as the presumed superiority of certain races, or to terrible realities, such as the eugenics laws that were applied in many countries, not just in Nazi Germany. Richard Dawkins and his theory of the so-called âselfish geneâ didnât paint a better picture when he stated that what matters in evolution isnât the survival of the individual or the species itself, but rather the persistence of its genetic material contained within DNA. Thanks to ecology and the work of biologists such as Lynn Margulis, we know that relationships in an ecosystem are much more complex than Darwin and Wallace described them to be. Sometimes, the species that survive arenât those that compete best, but those that collaborate best. Symbiotic relationships â where two different species benefit from each other â are very common and can determine the survival of a species. Furthermore, we now know that these relationships have played a decisive role in evolution. For example, all of our cells contain an organelle called mitochondria, which was originally an independent bacterium that established a symbiotic relationship with a cell millions of years ago. If we can eat food today, itâs thanks to the symbiosis between bacteria and fungi in the roots of many plants, which provide nitrogen or phosphate to the plants. And plants, in turn, provide sugar to microorganisms. Therefore, on occasion, evolution also has a friendly side: it can tell us great stories of cooperation between species. The fact that the situation is much more complex than initially thought â and that thereâs more to it than just survival of the fittest â doesnât mean that cruelty (by human standards) ceases to exist. Parasitic relationships â where one organism benefits at the expense of another, causing harm or even death â are very common. And sometimes, they can just be downright cruel... Among birds, there are so-called âbrood parasitesâ who completely ignore their young. Through various tricks, they get other species to care for them. This behavior appears to offer an evolutionary advantage, as it has emerged independently in seven different lineages of unrelated birds. Each species or lineage uses different strategies to invade other birdsâ nests. Of all of them, the case of the indicator bird â popularly known as âthe honeyguideâ â is particularly gruesome. Its preferred victim is the little bee-eater. When a female honeyguide discovers a nest, she incubates her egg for a day, so as to ensure that it hatches before the bee-eaterâs. Then, she places her egg next to the eggs that belong to her victim. Once hatched, the honeyguide waits for its chickâs foster siblings to hatch and â using its long, thin beak â begins to poke and bite them one by one, until they bleed to death⊠a process that can take up to seven hours. This ensures the honeyguide chickâs status as an only child: it will get all the resources that its foster parents can offer. Cuckoos â medium-sized, slender birds â use another strategy. Once they hatch, they push the eggs containing their foster siblings (which havenât yet finished the incubation period) out of the nest. At least this way of dying is quicker than bleeding to death. In other lineages of parasitic birds, we find mothers who look like theyâre straight out of a horror movie. But just because a bird is parasitic doesnât mean it completely ignores its chicks. For instance, the female cowbird destroys the eggs in a nest before laying her own. Afterwards, she may hang around. If the parasitized parents discover the deception and expel the otherâs egg, the cowbird mother will continue destroying all her victimsâ eggs until they accept hers. Nature isnât all about competition and survival of the fittest. And yet, there are birds that havenât caught on and continue to behave like schoolyard bullies.

MarĂa Corina Machado wants to give Nobel Prize to Donald Trump Added: Jan 6, 2026

Site: The Hill
Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado wants to give her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump. âI certainly would love to be able to personally tell him that we believe â the VenezuâŠ
Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado wants to give her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump. âI certainly would love to be able to personally tell him that we believe â the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people, want to give it to him and share it with him,â Machado told host Sean Hannity on Fox Newsâs âHannity.â Machado has backed Trumpâs aggressive posture toward the Maduro regime and dedicated her Nobel Prize to the people of Venezuela and the president. Just more than three days since the U.S. captured and arrested Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro, the long-term future of the South American nation is unclear. While Venezuelaâs high court has named Vice President Delcy RodrĂguez as interim leader, Trump has said the U.S. will run the country until an orderly transition can occur. âWe donât want to be involved with having somebody else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years,â the president said at a press conference Saturday. Trump also told reporters that Machado lacks the support or respect to govern Venezuela and was not consulted on the operation beforehand. The former National Assembly member won the opposition primary two years ago, but Maduro barred her from running against him in the general election, and she backed Edmundo GonzĂĄlez. While Maduro claimed victory in the July 2024 election, international observers dismissed the governmentâs election data as statistically improbable. Machado then went into hiding in her own country for more than a year, before reappearing last month in Oslo, Norway, where her daughter accepted her prize on her behalf. Now, though, she said she plans to return to Venezuela as soon as she can. âIâm planning to go back to Venezuela as soon as possible,â she told Hannity. âAs Iâve always said, Sean, every day, I make a decision [about] where I am more useful for our cause.â

Thune outlines 3 pieces of possible health care deal
Site: POLITICO
He was detailing what it would take for a proposal to be able to pass the Senate.
Majority Leader John Thune laid out Tuesday the three components any bipartisan health deal would have to address in order for it to pass the Senate. That includes instituting minimum premium payments and other new restrictions, providing âa bridge to HSAsâ including an expansion of the health savings accounts and dealing with the âHyde issueâ â language that limits federal funding for abortions. All three of the ideas are Republican priorities. âThose are kind of the âbig threeâ when it comes to something that could get through the Senate,â Thune told reporters of what it would take to land a "healthy majorityâ in support of any health care deal. "We want to ensure that if we do anything it's done in a way that reforms these programs and ... ensures that those dollars aren't being used to go against the practice that's been in place for the last 50 years around here when it comes to taxpayer dollars being used to finance abortions and that it also has this movement in the future toward HSAs," he continued. A bipartisan group of senators is currently negotiating a possible agreement that would merge a two-year extension of the lapsed Affordable Care Act credits with new minimum premium payments and income restrictions, alongside broader cost-sharing reductions that would be phased in during the second year. The lapse of the beefed-up ACA subsidies reset the tax credits to their original 2010 Obamacare levels. The lawmakers met Monday night and they said they are making progress â but they don't yet have a deal. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), one of the key negotiators, updated Thune Tuesday morning. Thune also met earlier Tuesday with Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Senate Health Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who co-led the GOP proposal to expand health savings accounts. Cassidy said Tuesday he continued to work on the health savings accounts component, adding, âWeâre gonna need the White House support to get something done.â Cheyenne Haslett contributed to this report.

Why AI Boosts Creativity for Some Employees but Not Others
Added: Jan 6, 2026Why AI Boosts Creativity for Some Employees but Not Others
Site: Harvard Business Review
Generative AI is transforming workflows, yet its impact on employee creativity remains uneven. New research reveals one explanation: AI boosts creativity primarily for employees with strong metacognitionâthe ability to plan, monitor, and refine thinking. These individuals strategically use AI to expand knowledge, free cognitive capacity, and break fixed mindsets, thereby fueling creative ideas. Leaders should pair AI adoption with metacognitive training and design workflows that encourage strategic and iterative engagement. Organizations that cultivate metacognitive skills will turn AI from a productivity tool into a sustained source of creative advantage.
Generative AI is increasingly embedded into day-to-day workflows across organizations globally. Employees are using AI tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm solutions, explore alternatives, summarize information, and accelerate projects. As these tools become more capable, many organizations hope they will spark higher levels of creativity, enabling employees to generate more novel and impactful ideas. Yet, despite this promise, the creative payoff has been surprisingly inconsistent. A recent Gallup survey found that only 26% of employees who use generative AI report improvements in their creativity. This gap between widespread adoption and limited creative gains raises an important question for leaders: Can generative AI truly enhance creativity in the workplace, and why do some employees benefit while others do not? Our new research, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, answers this question. We find that generative AI can indeed boost employee creativity, but the gains are not universal. Specifically, employees with stronger metacognitionâthe ability to plan, evaluate, monitor, and refine their thinkingâare more likely to experience creative gains from using generative AI, because they can use it more effectively to acquire the cognitive job resources that fuel creativity. For leaders and organizations, this finding reframes the challenge of AI-enabled creativity: to unlock AIâs potential for boosting workplace creativity, organizations must go beyond simply rolling out new tools; they also need to invest in developing employeesâ metacognition and promote the thoughtful, strategic use of AI so employees can translate AI outputs into more effective creative performance. The Research To understand how and for whom generative AI enhances creativity, we focused on an important insight from creativity research: Employees produce more creative ideas when they have sufficient cognitive job resources. These resources include two key elements: a) information and knowledge, and b) the opportunity to adjust work methods and tasks, such as switching between complex and simple tasks and taking mental breaks. Information and knowledge are essential for creativity because creativity fundamentally involves recombining and synthesizing information in novel and useful ways. Similarly, opportunities to adjust work methods and tasks are crucial for creativity because they allow employees to break fixed mindsets and restore cognitive capacity. Our research proposes that using generative AI can increase employeesâ cognitive job resources in two key ways. First, by expanding knowledge: Although employeesâ own knowledge is limited, generative AI can provide large amounts of information within seconds. This expands employeesâ knowledge base and enables them to integrate insights across domains. Second, by freeing mental capacity: When generative AI handles tasks such as summarizing texts, managing data, and drafting content, it reduces employeesâ cognitive overload, allowing them to redirect resources to complex problem-solving. Employees can also use AI to support complex, cognitively demanding tasks while periodically shifting to simpler ones, allowing them to restore mental capacity and break fixed mindsets. However, access to AI tools alone does not guarantee that employees can acquire the cognitive resources needed for creativity. Employees differ substantively in their ability to leverage AI to obtain these cognitive job resources. We found that a key differentiator is employeesâ metacognition: their ability to actively monitor their thinking while completing tasks. For example, employees with strong metacognition usually think through the steps to perform a task, keep track of how effective their approach is, and adjust when they notice a lack of progress. This ongoing reflection makes them more aware of their knowledge gaps, the demands of the task, and their own mental states. Therefore, they can better understand what information they need and when to shift gears or take breaks to disrupt fixed thinking patterns and restore cognitive capacity. By contrast, employees low in metacognition are more likely to accept AIâs first answer, rely on default outputs, and fail to check whether AIâs suggestions are accurate or relevant. As a result, employees with stronger metacognition are far better positioned to use AI tools to acquire the cognitive job resources that fuel creativity, whereas those with weaker metacognitive skills see few creative gains from AI. To examine these ideas in real work settings, we conducted a field experiment with 250 employees at a technology consulting firm in China. Employees were randomly assigned either to an AI condition, where they received a ChatGPT account for use in their daily work, or to a control condition without AI access. One week later, we assessed employeesâ creativity using two independent evaluations: a) managersâ evaluations of employeesâ overall creative performance over the week and b) two external ratersâ evaluations of the novelty and usefulness of employeesâ responses to a creativity task. Using a survey, we also measured metacognition with an established scale (asking people to list their level of agreement with statements such as, âWhile working toward my goal, I kept track of how effective my approach wasâ). The results were clear. Employees with stronger metacognition became more creative when they used AIâthey generated ideas that were judged as more novel and more useful. But for employees with weaker metacognition, AI made little difference. In other words, only employees who knew how to engage thoughtfully with the tool were able to use AI to expand the cognitive resources that fuel creativity. In short, our research reveals a pivotal insight for leaders: Generative AI does not automatically make employees more creative. What matters is whether employees have the metacognition to use AI in a reflective way. The central question for leaders, therefore, is not whether employees use AI, but whether they have the metacognitive skills to engage with it thoughtfully and strategicallyâturning AIâs suggestions into creative insights. How Leaders Can Help Boost Employee Creativity As organizations and teams increasingly adopt generative AI, leaders should recognize a critical insight from our research: Employeesâ metacognition is a key factor in determining whether AI actually enhances creativity. The following steps can help organizations and leaders maximize the creative impact of generative AI. 1. Help employees use AI to expand the cognitive job resources that fuel creativity. Generative AI can enhance employeesâ creativity by expanding their access to information and knowledge and freeing up their mental capacity for creative problem-solving. Leaders should encourage employees to use AI to gather diverse information, explore multiple angles, and offload routine tasks to restore cognitive capacity. By using AI to enlarge their knowledge base, break fixed mindsets, and reduce cognitive overload, employees create the conditions that make creative insights more likely. However, our findings suggest that these benefits depend largely on how employees engage with AIâpointing to the importance of metacognition, which we highlight in the next takeaway. 2. Raise awareness that metacognition is the engine of AI-supported creativity. Leaders might assume that integrating generative AI into their workflows will automatically make all employees more creative. Yet our research shows that creative gains tend to occur among employees who can actively monitor their own thinking and then evaluate, question, and refine AI outputs. In practice, this means employees must treat AI suggestions as starting points rather than final answersâiterating on them, probing gaps, and challenging assumptions. For example, two employees using the same AI tool may end up with very different results: One may accept AIâs first suggestion without checking, while the other may examine its accuracy, push for alternatives, and integrate new insights. The latter approach is far more conducive to creativity. Leaders should help employees understand this distinction to facilitate more productive AI engagement. 3. Build metacognitive skills through targeted and scalable training. Leaders should consider employeesâ metacognitive abilities when implementing AI and invest in developing these abilities through training. Notably, metacognitive skills can be strengthened through various methods. Companies can offer short training sessions that introduce metacognition and walk employees through real examples of AI errors, asking them to anticipate, detect, and correct those mistakes. Longer programs can focus on helping employees build deeper habits of planning, monitoring, and evaluating their thinking. Even simple checklistsâclarifying the problem, determining how to evaluate AIâs suggestion, and exploring alternativesâcan shift employees from passive reliance on AI to more active, strategic engagement. Depending on budget and priorities, organizations may adopt brief interventions or more extensive programs. 4. Design workflows that promote active, iterative engagement with AI. Leaders should design workflows that position AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut. Instead of encouraging employees to use AI for quick answers, leaders should establish processes that involve generating multiple perspectives, comparing and critiquing AI outputs, and refining ideas across several rounds. For example, a product team might use AI to generate contrasting viewpoints, debate their strengths and weaknesses during a meeting, and then synthesize the strongest ideas into a final recommendation. Such iterative processes naturally activate metacognitive thinking and prevent overreliance on AI defaults. Over time, organizations may even consider employeesâ metacognitive capabilities when hiring for AI-intensive or creativity-intensive roles. But for most companies, building these skills through training and day-to-day practice will be more scalable than relying on selection alone. Caveats and Limitations When applying these insights, leaders should consider several limitations. First, our findings are based on a single organization in China. Although the underlying mechanisms are likely to generalize, peopleâs attitudes toward AI may vary across countries and industries. Second, other personal traitsâfor example, motivational traits such as a strong desire to learn or to pursue ambitious goalsâmay also influence how effectively employees engage with AI to enhance creativity. Third, our study examined short-term effects within a single week. The long-term consequences of sustained AI use remain open questions. Organizations should regularly assess how AI use influences employee learning and skill development over time. . . . In sum, our research shows that generative AI can meaningfully enhance creativityâbut only for employees with strong metacognition. By pairing AI deployment with deliberate support for metacognitive thinking, organizations can unlock deeper insights, accelerate innovation, and ensure that employees drive the tool rather than letting the tool drive them. As generative AI becomes woven into global workflows, cultivating employeesâ metacognition will be what separates organizations that are merely adopting AI from those that are truly unlocking its creative power. Organizations that help employees strengthen these skills wonât just keep up with AIâtheyâll turn it into a sustained source of creative advantage.
