Anxiety and depression in Children.
As children, we have fears and worries and may feel sad and hopeless from time to time. Strong fears may appear at different times during development. For example, toddlers are often very distressed about being away from their parents, even if they are safe and cared for. Although fears and worries are typical in children, persistent or extreme forms of fear and sadness could be due to anxiety or depression. Because the symptoms primarily involve thoughts and feelings, they are sometimes called internalizing disorders.

Are You Depressed in Your Relationship?
Our romantic relationships require us to be emotionally present. Many who have a partner with a more avoidant attachment style often report feeling as though their partner is aloof, distant, dismissive, or callous. Avoidant connection is a connection style that develops in very early childhood, often before the age of 3, as a result of an emotionally dismissive or unavailable parent who is unresponsive or shaming to a child's attempts at bonding. Many who grow up to develop an avoidant connection style have caregivers who routinely ignore or minimize the child’s needs to feel wanted, seen, or heard, and ultimately end up learning to rely on themselves for their needs.

From Synthesis to Dependence:
Buried inside our genome right now are molecular fossils, bits of DNA that are so broken that they no longer work. Over 90% of our genome doesn’t code for anything. And embedded in all this non-coding DNA, like bones in rock, are fossilized pseudogenes.

The 'God Father' of AI quits his job at Google.
Deep learning and neural network research by Dr. Jeffrey Hinton opened the path for modern AI systems like chat GPT. But he now regrets his work and is worried that AI technology will flood the internet with misinformation. The truth is, AI is very scary. But it's not a secret that this is by far the best invention for our current and future generations.
