Wednesday Watch Party!!

Loneliness has a bad reputation. Here's why this should change.

We created this video in partnership with Unlikely Collaborators. What does it really mean when you feel lonely? The answer depends on your perception. Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Watch the full Perception Box series ► https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5uULy4b0kV4iomWS7CzqCdOCwj0lFnLr&si=yCY6Ee7m6bpj7E-y In this video, a psychologist, a social scientist, and a public health researcher explore why loneliness has become so common and how it affects both the mind and the body. They explain why friendships are disappearing, how loneliness changes our health, and why being alone doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Instead of treating loneliness as a personal failure, they suggest seeing it as a signal that helps us understand what we need and how to reconnect.

Shocking footage and eyewitness accounts reveal how ICE and DHS raids spiraled into deadly force under Trump’s watch, as federal agents swarm Minneapolis, Chicago, and North Carolina, silence cameras, invoke “self-defense,” and expose a Republican enforcement machine that treats fear, violence, and cover-ups as standard operating procedure while cable news scrambles to sanitize the damage.

How labels become identity cages

Can labels be harmful? Marvin Liyanage @marvinliyanage explores how broad, fixed labels can limit our growth if we aren't aware of them. "You've probably heard of fixed vs. growth mindset, popularized by Carol Dweck. Usually that concept is thought of in relation to K-12 education and the fixed-mindsets that hold children back in their learning. When children hold beliefs such as "I'm dumb" or "I'm bad at math" they put in less effort and show less resilience. Is it possible that these findings say something more general about how fixed labels affect our growth in adulthood? What about terms like "perfectionist" and "introvert"? These terms can help us understand ourselves, find people with similar preferences, and protect us from guilt and pressure. Can they also be harmful?" Correction: "In the video I say Kristin Hill but meant Kristin Neff, the author of the book, Self Compassion. In her book, she makes arguments for choosing mindfulness and common humanity over self-identification."
