Every generation thinks the world is going to end. Ours is no different. And, this time it might. But not really. We're just living out the growing pains of social media and nonstop information. Our amygdalas are tired. The worst part about our current hyper-sensitivity and intolerance? We isolate instead of engage. We stop learning and exploring. Our brains atrophy... and that means our health, n...

Do we have a shared responsibility as a culture to maintain a certain health standard?...

The more you believe something, the greater the chance that you're deceived by your own emotional tie to the topic. Every bit of information that flows into our brains causes a cascade of binary triggers. Threat/non-threat... good/bad... safe/unsafe... right/wrong... true/untrue... and those are just the initial value judgments. The doorway for those thoughts then channel our memories, emotions, a...
