Prevention is hard for us to do, and even harder to appreciate. This is because it requires long-term thinking, which is not our species’ specialty.

It is also because paradoxically, successful prevention efforts tend to look like overreactions. Prevention isn’t exciting, and doesn’t produce easy heroes.

When something is broken, the problem is self evident, and the person who fixes it is the clear hero. When a problem is prevented, nothing bad happens, and we often can’t know for certain whether it would have happened had we not intervened.

Covid-19 Brings a Pandemic of Conspiracy Theories
On March 11 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. As the rate of infections and the death toll continue to rise, fear, racism, panic buying, and conspiracy theories have become increasingly common. Although conspiracy theories emerged as a cultural phenomenon in the 20th century, similar occurrences have been observed alongside past pandemics.

The Ancient World and the Murderer's Eyes
Modern psychology generally focuses on our lives as they are now, on what we think and feel in our everyday world.  Yet there is an older source of our minds and mentality, one rooted in our ancestors’ world for millions of years.  Ever since the time, seventy million years ago and more, when our squirrel-sized ancestors fled their cunning dinosaur predator Troodon, the evolution of human psychology has emphasized one critical dictum: stay alive.

Information-Share with Care
Sharing information seems like one of the most valuable things we can do, perhaps especially as we continue to practice physical distancing during this viral pandemic. And yet such sharing can backfire in ways that are particularly dangerous, in part because they aren't at all obvious. We highlight some of those in a previous post.

Dealing with Death Anxiety
Particularly for Western culture, death is seen as the ultimate evil; death represents our greatest enemy, nemesis and adversary. Something to be disdained, shunned, and resisted at all costs. Whenever human beings are subjected to the suffering and death of natural disasters, we are forced to gaze into the face of evil. At the moment, for many of us, it is the invisible, microscopic coronavirus that most immediately epitomizes evil, suffering, and death. COVID-19 is our devil du jour.

Coronavirus immunity, the new steroids?
The fastest vaccine ever created was the Zika vaccine, which took 7 months to be ready for clinical trials, but was halted from further testing when the virus began to slow. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said the fastest we could have a vaccine would be "a year to a year and a half, no matter how fast you go1." Even scarier is that other experts are predicting a longer timeline, noting that the record for the fastest vaccine created was actually 4 years for mumps.

Critically Thinking About Conspiracy Theories and COVID-19
People all over the world are experiencing the COVID-19 crisis in a variety of ways. In Ireland, a vast majority of the population have been asked to stay at home in an effort to battle the spread of the virus. Other than giving me an opportunity to spend more time with my family, one good thing that has come from all this (for me, anyway) is that it’s also given me a chance to read more. However, some of that reading is conducted through social media, which unfortunately is often a breeding ground for misinformation; so, critical thinking is obviously requisite for this endeavour.

Working Remotely During a Pandemic
Like many of you, I found myself working from home a few weeks ago. I mentioned in previous post how “virtual team work” is quickly becoming the new normal, but the pandemic situation we find ourselves in has completely thrown many workers full time into this reality. While I have been enjoying some aspects of working from home, it has also raised other challenges, leaving me more scatterbrained and more depleted than I was before.

Tinkering Can Lead to Creative Insight and Innovation
Many great discoveries are often made by tinkering.  A formal definition of tinkering may imply fixing things; for example, a dictionary definition deems it an act “repair or improve something in a casual or desultory way, often to no useful effect”.  But tinkering likely has a profound effect on our future thoughts and creative output.

Social Support Rainbows for Pandemic Stress Storms
“Everyone’s been so nice, checking with us to see if we’re okay and if we need anything,” said my octogenarian friend with a tone of gratitude and relief. These simple shows of what psychologists call “social support” were clearly helpful to my friend’s coping. Another sheltering friend posted photos on social media of some favorite food items, left on her doorstep by some thoughtful friends. It was apparent how much this simple gesture made her feel loved and cared for. Indeed, one of the easiest and most important ways you can help during the pandemic is to reach out to your physically distant friends and family in some simple ways.

Personality in the Time of COVID
When the virus came to our shores, I knew much would change, but I was fairly certain that at least one thing would be minimally impacted: my online course in self-assessment. In this course, students engage in a multitude of tasks aimed at introducing them to various theories and methods of studying personality. It is largely self-guided and task-oriented, and thus easily done on one’s own time, in and around the rest of life. So it was unsurprising that as I and my students in my in-person courses struggled to adjust to moving fully online, the already-online course was moving along rather well in the first two weeks of the shutdown. However, the third week brought with it an unanticipated wrinkle.

Dealing with Death Anxiety
Death, of course, comes to each of us, and there are literally a thousand ways to die. Indeed, one eventually must die of something, be it old age, accident, war, or disease. This is an inexorable existential fact of life. Death has always, in all cultures, been a mysterium tremendum, an immense mystery. What happens after death--if anything beyond decay, decomposition and gradual disintegration--is still pure speculation. And, psychologically, such speculation, whether that of science, philosophy or religion, serves one primary purpose: the demystification of death in an endeavor to mediate or eliminate our existential anxiety about it.

Smile! (But Only If You Mean It)
Recall for a moment the last time you interacted with your boss. How did this conversation feel to you? Chances are that you experienced a sense of mental and emotional toil from controlling what you were saying and maybe more importantly, what you weren’t saying.The sociologist Arlie Hochschild coined the term ‘emotional labor’ to describe the behavior of portraying or suppressing certain emotions in order to fulfill the emotional requirements of one’s profession.1 Think of the restaurant server who puts on a smile when taking a customer’s order even though she is racked with chronic pain.

Mindful Conservatism: Humanity's Past—and Future?
Conservatism has been part of western culture since the 19th century. Edmund Burke (1962), one of its most honored founders, emphasized maintaining a community’s traditions— the practices that worked over generations to support wellbeing, which by extension support a diversity of approaches to living well. According to Burke, abstract ideas from outside of a community were to be weighed for their benefit to the local community, not imposed on them from without.  Also vital for Burke’s philosophy is a partnership among the community’s living, dead and future members, strikingly similar to American Indian ethics of keeping in mind the “seventh generation” when making decisions.

If You Are in Trouble Will Your Dog Try to Rescue You?
It is well recognized that we tend to have an emotional bond and empathic feelings connecting us to our dogs, however these feelings go beyond simple bonds of companionship. Over the years some surveys have shown that people tend to feel safer when their dogs are nearby. It seems as if we believe that in a time of crisis our dogs will turn into heroes, like Lassie or Rin Tin Tin in the movies, and thus our dogs will save us from drowning, or being trapped, or warn us of impending danger. But is there any evidence that such attempts of rescue on the part of our pets are really very likely, or is the idea of our dogs metamorphosing from couch potatoes into heroes merely a comforting fantasy?

Klonopin Detox Symptoms, Timeline, Medications, and Treatment
Even people who take benzodiazepine drugs such as Klonopin as prescribed may experience some amount of withdrawal when they try to stop using. Chronic abuse of these medications increases the likelihood of a severe withdrawal syndrome. Because withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable and difficult to manage alone, you should consider entering a detox program. Detox is a process designed to assist people that are suffering from acute intoxication and withdrawal.2

Not All Pandemic Dreams Are Nightmares
People who are familiar with the deep patterns of their dreams seem to be having fewer nightmares compared to the general population. This observation is based on a series of interviews I recently conducted with the participants in two dream research projects, one that began in early 2017 and the other in December of 2019. It’s remarkable to see the different qualities in their dreams compared to other people’s pandemic-related dreams: less fear, more agency, more problem-solving, more willingness to change, more openness to future possibility.

Distance Makes the Smart Live Longer
Are you getting into conflicts with your friends and family over fears about the coronavirus and social distancing?  Here’s a lesson I learned from my mountain climbing adventures.  In my twenties, I graduated from four mountaineering schools, climbed over twenty-five smaller peaks, and learned mountaineering medicine from my doctor, pastor, and life-long mentor, Loren Siffring. He also taught me recently that physical distancing — not social distancing — is the best approach to resolving these conflicts. I agree. Here's why.

Does Science Need Snake Dream Breakthroughs?
The most memorable achievement of 19th Century chemist August Kekule was discovering the shape of the benzene molecule, a six-membered ring of carbon atoms. What’s memorable about the discovery to non-chemists is how he claimed to have made it: it came to him in a dream about the mythic ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail. Kekule’s dream is often cited as an example of how we shouldn’t care where a scientific hypothesis comes from. Any new idea is worth testing.
