Excited to share my new preprint. My work focuses on solitude, but I am not one to advocate for a "solitude theory"; psych has too many theories so one less would be good. So, what I did the past 2 yrs is talking to people, reading work outside of my literature, essentially to shop for a framework 🧵

I know there are a lot of worse things in other parts of the world but what is happening in Vietnam breaks my heart. My family in the South is safe but Northern and Central regions are facing flooding and landslides.

The most vulnerable countries are disproportionately affected by climate crisis.

I spent the last week working on a grant application. For the part where you have to write about your awesomeness, it was a roller coaster of self-esteem: I went between “I am not cut out for this!” and “hey maybe I am not that bad”. Overall, it was a pretty self-affirming experience. I am enough.

It was long thought that domestication leads to reductions in brain size. But as we understand dog brains better, the truth is proving more complicated—and more interesting.

I am looking for a movie example where a man is mr. perfect, knows to say just the right things, does exactly what he is supposed to, except there is no sweep-of-the-feet moments. I need this to draw equivalence to "AI" for a romantic partner. Any good example?

Spoiler: female lead didn't pick him.

In Jensen Huang (creator of nvidia)’s biography, he calls this “making the marginal costs of doing things to zero”. I read the book because I heard he is one of the people who sees no risk in “AI”. His p(doom) - probability that it might one day eliminate the human race - was zero.

Oh yes, I do this for all my studies and they are often included with my publications. The tricky part is knowing how to share an OSF link where people can actually find those files 🤔
