Hey there!
I’m back with another list of articles I found around online that made me think about myself and the world around me.
You might notice that the articles I share are random and yet they make you reflect on that topic or something related to it.
This is a result of the rabbit holes I find myself in and then while in it, gives me the urge to share it with other people whom I think would like what I found. I hope you’re one of them☺️
In a way, I collect treasures from everywhere and restrain myself from sharing all of them all at the same time so each one can be appreciated and may be applied, if possible.
I hope you appreciate this week’s collection which is worth investing 30 minutes of your time:
🥃Redefining Optimism | Bassam Tarazi | 🕰 4 minutes
"Because whether you consider the glass half full or empty, it’s still half a glass of water. The key is what are you going to do with that water now, or how are you going to get more?"
🤖Speak, Memory | Casey Newton | 🕰 18 minutes
Trigger warning for people who are having a hard time dealing with death or are grieving.
What can we do with digital breadcrumbs left by a loved one who passed away? When her best friend died, Eugenia Kuyda collected 8,000 lines of text from his friends and families and used them to "train" a bot to sound like him. Remember that Black Mirror episode? 😬
🏚The neighborhood where you grew up can influence how your genes work | Helen Fisher and Aaron Reuben | 🕰 4 minutes
This research shows how being disadvantaged begins at birth when you are born in a disadvantaged environment. Some might say, "well, doi" but having this kind of proof can lead to more scientific breakthroughs that can help lessen economic gaps.
📈The Positive Lexicography Project | Tim Lomas | 🕰 4 minutes
An interactive dictionary of positive words from different languages that are untranslatable. Perfect when you're feeling 🥰 🤩🤗🤪 and you can't seem to find the right words.
See you next week!
