  4. CW: Mental Health, Self-Compassion, Podcast

    Listened to NPR's "Hidden Brain" on Self-Compassion with Kristen Neff today. I've struggled for several years with a very harsh inner voice that has made it difficult to practice self-compassion and self-care. At the end of the episode, the host asked the listener to share it with three people who might need it - I thought I would share it here :D

  6. This first part of a podcast about contradictions is really interesting and then becomes quite moving as they discuss applying theories around self-esteem and cognitive dissonance in education.

  8. @technolass I don't think this has anything to do with blindness. People are just reluctant to say anything they think might be construid as criticism. It's ironic because people generally want to be told something constructive if it's delivered in a caring way. This was the topic of a recent Hidden Brain podcast. hiddenbrain.org/ #HiddenBrain

  9. This is an interesting #HiddenBrain episode on how things go viral. #Twitter was pretty much unknown until Oprah Winfrey *AND* a earthquake showed how useful Twitter was, #Mastodon might also have a inflection point where more people overcome the "complex contagion" / effort of joining #Mastodon:

  11. I just finished watching a podcast episode of Hidden Brain titled, "Who's in your inner circle". I learned there's studies that show economic connectedness is a much more powerful predictor of success in life than parental income, status, race, etc.

    Basically, if people have the opportunity to be connected to others of means, that increases their chances of getting exposure to the very opportunities that can pull them out of a disadvantageous economic situation.

    This got me thinking, what if the solution to rising income inequality is free post-secondary education? You would have individuals of similar economic status, barring parental wealth, connecting with each other and sharing perspectives and contacts. All while learning useful skills that translate to higher paid careers and even more opportunities.

    Those who have come from a lower income bracket and have been educated are more likely to maintain connections to where they come from, thereby exposing even more lower income individuals to opportunities that they would otherwise not have.

    Free post-secondary education (at least for undergrad degrees) very realistically could ease the rising wealth inequality, despite its apparent cost. It's more like an investment with great returns both at an economic and societal level. Many countries already have free post-secondary education. Why not Canada and the US?

  13. Mesmerizing to think that the choice of who you befriend, and especially the most personal choice to marry someone you love, could have deep ramifications to systemic inequality and increase the divisions we see in society.

    I guess it's not that ridiculous when you think about how marriage in the before times meant amassing power and wealth by joining two families.

    Fascinating episode on

  21. New #introduction post to pin to my profile.

    I love #knitting and have been doing it forever. I also like #reading, #skiing, #sewing, #girlscoutleading, and the #oxfordcomma, as well as different volunteer efforts like #boomerangbags. I nerd out listening to #economics podcasts like #marketplace, #planetmoney, #theindicator, #freakonomics, and also #hiddenbrain because brain science and #neuropsychology is cool.

    In the #Boston area and love it, if I can't be in #Canada.

  25. On of the latest episodes of #HiddenBrain really resonated with me and how I started to see myself a few years ago. Of course, without the scientific background.

    “Screaming Into The Void: How Outrage Is Hijacking Our Culture, And Our Minds“

    The examples are quite relatable and I still observe many of them every week, even though I actively try to avoid most of them.

    As you obviously use social media: Check out the episode (and the podcast in general)!

    Happy Sunday!
