With quarantines and social distancing, #COVID19 is not the only #publichealth risk—so is #loneliness. How can we cultivate our social well-being during the outbreak?

In my latest for @sciam, I suggest a few ways to connect without contact: https://t.co/yFFzFzeAma

Not a shocker: people w/ friends at work are happier, leave less frequently, and work harder.

Learn how your workplace can tackle #loneliness & build social #wellbeing at this free #webinar on Dec 19 co-hosted by my organization, @UnLonelyProject!

@EvanSandhoefner “The extra data inflow would do little to increase the rate at which we think and learn.” Agreed, and I doubt we’re going to see Matrix-style “Kung-fu packages” anytime soon.

The implementation problems tho are tough (i.e. corrosive salt environment) but not fundamentally HARD.

Should talking to strangers be more of a mainstream social norm? The UK leads the world today in fighting #loneliness.

Transit services across the UK are committing to a new initiative called #CrossingDivides, which encourages passengers to talk to each other on public transportation. @TomBurridgebbc reports for the BBC.

@jhriew Luv u Jules :)

@ErwKuhn We could even have “data unions” collectively bargaining for better rates in exchange for releasing access to our information, haha

[Brad Riew @BradRiew]

@ErwKuhn Ex. say I’m a developer writing an algorithm for a product and I want to train it on anonymized user data from a marketplace. In exchange for access, I agree to give 50% or whatever of profits from the product I build to the users who provided the data

[Brad Riew @BradRiew]

@ErwKuhn I was thinking more like, if any machine learning algorithm trained on user data results in a product (i.e. google ads), compensate users using a significant percentage of that product’s profits. That way pricing is organic and market-driven

[Brad Riew @BradRiew]

@ErwKuhn Allowing consumers to voluntarily sell anonymized data from our everyday consumptive behavior could actually lead to a kind of “universal basic income,” I argue. Post here: https://t.co/b6sIjpwIY4
