Importance of daylight. Don't keep yourself in a dark room all day

"Daylight is crucial for mental health as exposure to natural light helps regulate the body's circadian rhythm, leading to improved mood, reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety, better sleep quality, and can even alleviate seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by boosting serotonin production in the brain when exposed to sunlight; essentially, spending time outdoors in daylight can significantly benefit your overall mental wellbeing.

"That feeling of annoyance sets off a stress response in your body that's very similar to the stress response you would have if you were walking down a dark alleyway, and out jumps a ferocious pitbull.

[...] Consistent stimulation of that stress response can lead to increased risk for some pretty serious cardiovascular related illnesses like hypertension or cardiovascular related mortality."

"Has Neuroscience Found the Key to What Caused Zombie Nation? "

"Dr. Nehls argues that the spike protein, along with other COVID measures, represents an intentional attack on the human hippocampus—where autobiographical memory and individuality itself originate—and that "fear porn" keeps us from holding on to the autobiographical memories that encompass our former selves. As a result, humans have become deindividualized, more suggestible, more forgetful, more compliant, and less able to engage in critical thinking and creative reasoning.."

Olympia WA . Hopefully the NEW NORMAL everywhere. Sending mental health pros rather than junior college cops to non-violent mental health situations   "This City Stopped Sending Police to Every 911 Call | "
"Because they work closely with the Olympia Police Department and are dispatched through 911, Larsen said the program had to build community trust to prove they were "collaborative but separate" from law enforcement. "One of the biggest things we had to overcome is the idea that we would be snitches," she said. "It's about reassuring folks that we don't run [their names] for warrants or anything like that." Larsen noted that working with police makes it easier to access some services, like getting people identification."

THIS MAY EXPLAIN SOME PEOPLE's RUDE or SEEMINGLY UNCARING BEHAVIOR:"MIND-BLINDNESS"

THIS MAY EXPLAIN SOME PEOPLE's RUDE or SEEMINGLY UNCARING BEHAVIOR:"Mind-blindness can be described as a cognitive disorder where an individual is unable to attribute mental states to the self and other. As a result of this disorder the individual may be unaware of others' mental states, or incapable in attributing beliefs and desires to others.[1] This ability to develop a mental awareness of what is in the mind of an individual is known as the Theory of Mind (ToM). This allows one to attribute one's own behaviour and actions to various mental states such as emotions and intentions. Mind-blindness is associated with autism and Asperger's syndrome (AS) patients who tend to show deficits in social insight.[2] In addition to autism, AS, and schizophrenia, ToM and mind-blindness research has recently been extended to other disorders such as dementia, bi-polar disorders, anti social personality disorders as well as normal aging.[3]

Generally speaking, the "Mind-blindness" Theory asserts that children with these conditions are delayed in developing a theory of mind, which normally allows developing children to put themselves "into someone else's shoes, to imagine their thoughts and feelings."[4] Thus, autistic children often cannot conceptualize, understand, or predict emotional states in other people.[5]..."
