There’s a pretty sizeable body of work examining the various physiological effects of interacting with animals. Even just petting one lowers blood pressure if I remember correctly.
It’s great to see a major publication is pushing great news for the world. There’s a lot of noise out there about every single negative thing, but the overall trend is positive, even if we don’t see it.
The VAST majority of people are just out there trying to live their lives and make the world a little better every day, and it’s great to see that their efforts are moving the needle.
I would want to add: A lot of scientific studies are made to understand animals better - their well-being, their language, their relation with us. Another series of studies has begun to document human knowledge around plants and their traditional use.
Myself and many humans around me have started to seek contact and communication with our non-human neighbors. Even people who still say “It’s all lost, I don’t care” show clear signs of caring.
Kind of reminds me of Pleasant Green who scambaits, but also makes attempts to get to know the scammers and actually makes an effort to help them turn their lives around.
That was a great watch. I love how the next step in competitive Tetris means the player will need to learn which moves won’t crash it so you can get to the final level. How cool.
Honestly, for me, the best part about this, is how excited the person they were competing against was for them. They didn’t care that they didn’t get it, they were happy for their competitor. That was awesome.
