Humans are often both their best and worst advocates at the same time. I sometimes have these episodes of chronic migraines. Nothing life threatening or to worry about, but when it hits, it’s incredible how flooded I am with emotions I can barely manage – both mine and others’ emotions. It is not so much […]

Yesterday my house got burglarized, an experience I wish on no one; it is incredibly destabilizing. I am not one to care much for the stuff I own, so that has not been the biggest issue. I do however, feel incredibly violated and unsafe in my own house at the moment, and I realize it […]

Today I was reading an article talking about social norms. It was explaining why highly visible food items never totally disappear at meetings.

At a conference I recently attended, one of the speakers was talking about the information society. In our world of over-available information, it is easy to fall for a story that looks real, but is not.

There are days when I feel like I simply cannot accomplish anything. And then there are those when I cross off so many things from my list, that my head whirls from excitement. Thankfully today was one of the latter. Because I am so generally bad at celebrating the little victories, after getting done with my last task I decided to […]

So… hi. This is my first blog post. I’m agent M7. The other day, a student pointed out to me that when she raises a counterargument in class, she often is judged and dismissed by some of the others for offering a different view. She feels ostracized at times. Debate dates back centuries and has been an […]
