Fordham University: Does AI Show Empathy? It Depends on Your Gender, Study Shows . “The researchers fed those posts into three AI platforms—ChatGPT, Inflection Pi, and Bard (now Google Gemini)—and then used a machine learning system to analyze the bots’ responses for their level of empathy. They also included other people’s posted responses to the Reddit messages to have a point of […]

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

I felt everything as a kid. Other people’s #emotions, my imagination of those, my own emotions. In my teens & 20s, I blunted that as best I could. I hid from my heart & kept on doing it until my 50s where I tried reconnect. I can be with, experience, & just let be emotions. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂

(This question focuses on your personal feelings, not the impact on the world)

@dpaldrich reviews "Connecting After Chaos: Social Media and the Extended Aftermath of Disaster" by Stephen F Ostertag which argues 'that during these most desperate of times, our shared concerns, values, and moral judgment come to light through cultural work' and may help build 'a systematic understanding of how people emotionally process and engage with the shocks to come.'

Paper Faces - The Human Psyche
FACES. We all have them. They fascinate me. Expressions in particular - from subtle to extreme.

OLD PAPER. These too share qualities of human expression. From long ago handwritten notes, aged newspapers and maps to worn paper stained with time. In this series of prints, I combine them to create whimsical "stories" about the nature of being human.

Pictures & Tears: A History of People Who Have Cried in Front of Paintings by James Elkin

Does art leave you cold? And is that what it's supposed to do? Or is a painting meant to move you to tears? Hemingway was reduced to tears in the midst of a drinking bout when a painting by James Thurber caught his eye. And what's bad about that? In Pictures and Tears, art historian James Elkins tells the story of paintings that have made people cry.

As time goes on I have learned to embrace my #emotions a lot more. I used to hide from them, run, do anything but actually think through them.

I suffered, and I am glad I can now, and actually #reflect even if it's painful.

One I still struggle with is #grief especially. The three most precious people in my #memories are gone, and I'm still here.

Everything I do, I do for them.

When I see them again, I'll have #stories to tell about the things they wanted to do but couldn't.
