Many of us are guilty of inadvertently building echo chambers even pre social media. Social media makes the chambers larger allowing us to falsely believe that we are not in one.
So we all need access to opinions that conflict with our norm, but that aren't inflammatory.

Fact-checkers use lateral reading because it is faster, more efficient, and less biased than vertical reading. It’s called the SIFT method.

I reflect on a speech from Aga Khan IV where he mentions that many "confuse liberty with license", and the recognition that "freedom of expression is an incomplete value unless it is used honorably".
How do we maintain this balance between liberty and license in Bluesky?

New study appears to show that the reaction to gluten in those without coeliac disease may be governed by the brain knowing it's having gluten and expecting to have a reaction 🧠🍞

"Unlike the brain, the stomach alerts you when it's empty"-African proverb
After I chuckled, it dawned on me that our brains too must signal that it needs to be nourished, and that ignoring it leads us down the road to burnout.
How do we better hear the brain's hunger pangs before it's too late?
