I want to understand the language of human connection. How do people react whenever someone expresses an emotion?

Is there a relationship between emotion expression and human connection? If there is what does it look like?

Let’s find out!

@karpathy I tried the Code Interpreter, I am certain this will take personal productivity to another level🚀

[The School of Life @TheSchoolOfLife]

When we feel ‘stuck’ – trapped in a job or routine that offers us neither joy nor meaning – we might compare ourselves to Sisyphus: cursed by the gods to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity.

But for Albert Camus, Sisyphus was not a tragic figure, but a heroic one. (🧵)

“Failure to read what is happening in another’s soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend to the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.”

at the end of the day, we are all striving to get our social and emotional needs met, which largely means being around people that make us feel good about ourselves

@neurotensor @BUTTERFLY_KlNG I do believe that anyone who wants to do something should be able to do that regardless of their gender.

I acknowledge the physiological difference between the genders. But that shouldn't be the reason that decides what they can and can’t do.

why do Madhav and I have baby photo profiles?

seeing someone’s baby photo is a simple reminder to myself——to be warm, understanding, and patient

I find that I am more kind and encouraging when I remember we are all still growing up, and still have things we haven’t learned yet

@gmamoon888 I love the second one: This is what it is, & It's okay for things to not be okay"

[Madhav Patel @pmadhavv]

I was having a conversation with a friend a few months ago

Me: It's okay
Him: It's not. It's just what it is.
Me: You're right

My friend helped me notice that I was forcing positivity into something that wasn't positive at all.

[Madhav Patel @pmadhavv]

@w4iei I agree 💯

[Madhav Patel @pmadhavv]

@gmamoon888 I hesitated a bit, but I think it’s better to be honest

[Madhav Patel @pmadhavv]

We can help people change the way they think by showing them the words they use.

[Madhav Patel @pmadhavv]

A year ago I integrated Word Tracking Algorithms with @TalkPlayground 's video app. This allowed us to help people identify "emotion words" they use in the sessions.

I naively underestimated the value of what we built that day.
