High school positive psychology teacher looking for the latest psychological research, historical and political knowledge, and creative wit.
My feeling is similar. My fear is that humans are built to be creative and problem solve, be engaged, and help one another be better. With AI, does it take away these elements of wellness.

Yes, AI definitely has its place in so many ways. But this piece has me incredibly concerned.

This is just a great quote.
If you suffered in life and want other people to suffer as you did because
"you turned out fine," you did not in fact turn out fine.

Meanwhile on the other place, a state rep’s son (from suburban Denver) recorded one of our history teachers talking about some interpretation DaVinci and his sexuality. She is just so hateful toward any topic that remotely touches anything LGTBQ.

One of the things about emotional wellness that doesn’t get talked about enough is general physical health. While nuclear and green energy have their faults, we can’t let perfect get in the way of better.
