PsyPost: Ignoring others for your phone? Research links phubbing to lower empathy. “A study conducted in Israel suggests that when people are ready to engage in phubbing, they experience a slight reduction in empathy. When empathy declines, individuals become somewhat less willing to act prosocially. The paper was published in Psychological Reports.”

Does being more social imply that you have to behave more predictably? If you are a dragon, it depends on your sex! Class et al. found evidence for sex-specific associations between behaviour, its predictability and fitness in wild Eastern water dragons.

I think I've noticed a CULTURAL change in our local crows here on the central Oregon coast. In years before, when I put out peanuts, the crows were often bullied and cut off by gulls. But last year, they started ganging up on the gulls and driving them away. See this in my town, and today saw it in a town 25 miles south. Fascinating if so.

In the 1990s, Silicon Valley’s ideological core of what technology could do and the implications of it was highly optimistic, as laid out in a Wired article called #TheLongBoom. #TechBoom #Futurism And of course, a handful of monopolists acquired all the wealth gains, not governments or the public. That they overlooked. Dave Karpf has a excellent essay on the flaws of #socialbehavior on this topic. https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/the-curse-of-the-long-boom?r=vst
