I've read a few posts lately. I enjoyed the article on WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/will-your-uploaded-mind-still-b...

Michael Graziano is currently promoting his new book "Rethinking Consciousness: A Scientific Theory of Subjective Experience" so there will probably be a few more articles from him.

Available as an audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/Rethinking-Consciousness-Audioboo...

I've not had a chance to read it yet so I can't vouch for its quality.

Kuka is owned by the Chinese company Midea Group according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KUKA

Main guidance from the article:

“Face your fears. Be more active. Watch what you drink.”

“Facing your fears is often easier said than done but it’s a valid approach. When we confront something that scares us, that stresses us, we may not enjoy it but we impose certainty on it. All the things that could have happened and had the power to cause stress have been cancelled out. In many cases, facing your fear has a net reduction of your stress due to how our brains work.“

“Being more physically active is helpful in so many ways. As well as the health benefits, it also maintains a sense of control.“

“And “watch what you drink”. Not just alcohol, with it’s short-term euphoric effects but long-term depressive and anxiety-inducing ones. Caffeine is something to be wary of, too, as it stimulates the parts of the brain already overworked due to stress, and also disrupts sleep, another thing that can enhance/prolong stress.“

It seems discussion on climate change is being discouraged on hn. An article from the BBC was also flagged. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21042054
