Compliment a stranger or reach out to a loved one. You may do more good than you think #TEDTalks
Humans aren’t just social — we’re ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids’ lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

“If we can tell a better story about democracy, we can tell a better story about America” #TEDTalks
Our brains are hardwired to crave community and belonging — a tribal instinct that drives politics in the United States, says political strategist Sarah Longwell.

The Problem with Streaming — and the Case for Physical Media | Tom Rizzuto | TED
Streaming media gives us access to everything instantly — but at what cost? Music professor Tom Rizzuto traces the history of physical media — from CDs and vinyl to bone music (Soviet-era records pressed onto discarded X-rays) and the near-loss of “Nosferatu” — making the case that art shouldn’t just live in the cloud. (Recorded…

I so agree… I am retired and I walk every day my 5 miles to stay healthy. On my walk I meet many people, mostly walking their dogs. Many of them I meet every day.
I do not start a conversation for no good reason usually, but once in a while I feel the need to say something.
An old lady walking her dog, usually a small lap dog a chihuahua or shih tzu… I immediately feel sad, even so I do not know anything about the woman and the small dog. Usually small dogs do not know they are small and they pretend to defend their momy…
Just a single sentence will lighten up the day of another person. I say something like this:” Oh what a cute dog, my daughter has one which looks exactly like this one (This is not a lie, she does)”
The elderly lady smiles and we are on our way.
I am old myself and I can imagine that even older people are extremely lonely.
Telling them that they and their dog DO MATTER is important.
Society cannot function any other way but we are taking care of each other… and it is so easy.

Once I made the mistake while waiting in a pharmacy line I made the mistake of saying how fortunate a person was being able to be healthy enough to stand in line and be alive. That’s when he exploded into a TDS rant which then spread to the person behind me in line. Now two people are yelling victim narratives in line at a California pharmacy. Rule number one is watch what you say in California. Those two never deserved an apology for my kindness to them. So be cautious of mentally ill individuals in public, they are everywhere in California.

@thinkingimpaired5663 Sadly, they have not limited themselves to California. I had the same thing happen to me by asking a woman about her restaurant…
