Reply to comment by manfeelings839 in Mindfulness-based attention training vastly improves the focus and emotional regulation of high school students by TimTars
Any clear science-based lessons you would recommend? Many are very nebulous and new-agey, I've picked up some straightforward lessons over time but could always do with more.

Scientists have discovered how to plant a tree.

Reply to Reflexive fear responses tend to linger in people with anxiety disorders, study suggests by chrisdh79
having generalized anxiety leaves me constantly feeling like i'm in flight-or-fight mode so this makes a lot of sense to me.

Reply to Physicists nail down the most precise value yet of the electron magnetic moment. A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. by MistWeaver80
Are there any practical applications of this knowledge?
Not that there has to be. I value knowledge for its own sake, and for the stepping stone it always is to greater knowledge. But I am curious.

Reply to Climate change and the projected savannization of the Brazilian Amazon threaten most land-based mammals that live there, new research shows. The “savannization” here refers to when lush rainforest gives way to a drier, open landscape that resembles savanna but is actually degraded forest. by MistWeaver80

Well they use attention control for professional archers so it’s in practice to great affect. You focus on your draw and the feeling in your hands and tell yourself the actions. Before you do this however you give yourself a verbal command “ I’m ready to go”.

Historically Buddhists have been more in the armed revolt/suppression line.

Right? I get that science confirming stuff is important, but damn recently every other topic is a case of "yes, we know, we told you"

For what purpose, though? Don't we have enough farms? Why not invest in ecotourism, Brazil?

More like 4 tonnes.
Also takes a century to grow.

No, it's not used because it's BS greenwashing, has durability issues, and is expensive (because of transport, which also adds carbon)

Yes, except that it's a low energy process (compared to steel, or even making CLT).
The volumes are gigantic, however.

First or third is not semantics.
Prioritisation of efforts is important, and the wrong ranking means bad environmental consequences.

How do you propose it should be done?

Imagine being too lazy to mow your trees for a couple weeks and then You got a redwood forest. Future sounds cool, just hope we don’t mess up nature

No. They use proton spins, not electrons, and their limits are coming from other sources.

Was this research done by the physicist formerly known as Prince....?
