@hubermanlab My son did the "sigh" naturally -- I thought it was disgust or annoyance. But, after learning this, I realized he just naturally knew how to feel better. It felt great to learn about this.

@icebearlabs It'd be funny if the emails were coming from different people at beehiiv. "We noticed Tyler didn't connect..." Or, I guess better yet: An automation that decides: "Hmmm.. he hasn't opened the last 10, maybe we should turn on chill mode."

@MorgLiv Sucks! This is a very tough problem to solve. So hard, in fact, that you have to just be thankful you have a car, family, and your health. Have a better one.
