Came across a new term, rather a term that's been around for a while.
So it became this "vicious cycle in which users find themselves get stuck in a pattern of seeking negative information no matter how bad the news is."
Sunday
The morning started with some of the fellows having breakfast with Damian Williams, the first black US Attorney in Manhattan, heading the Southern District of New York. It was followed by his super interesting at today's conference. It was such an interesting keynote.

The theory of multiple intelligences, proposed by psychologist Howard Gardner, suggests that intelligence is not a single, unified entity but rather a collection of distinct forms of intelligence. According to Howard Gardner, individuals possess different strengths and abilities in various domains, and these abilities can be considered as different intelligences. The theory has been influential in understanding human cognition and has implications for fields such as education and psychology.
Gardner initially identified 7 forms of intelligence, and later expanded the list to include an additional two.The theory of multiple intelligences offers a broader perspective on human capabilities, highlighting the diverse strengths and abilities beyond traditional measures of intelligence. This approach is particularly relevant to autism, as it acknowledges the unique cognitive profiles and talents often exhibited by autistic individuals. Here's how each of Gardner's intelligences can relate to autism:
Linguistic Intelligence: While some autistic individuals may have challenges with conventional communication, others excel in language-related skills such as writing, storytelling, or learning multiple languages. Their abilities might be particularly evident in written communication, where the nuances of social interaction are less immediate.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Many autistic individuals display exceptional skills in logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and mathematical problem-solving. This form of intelligence is often associated with attention to detail and systematic thinking, traits commonly found in autistic people who excel in fields like computer science, engineering, and mathematics.
Musical Intelligence: Autistic individuals may have heightened sensitivity to sound and rhythm, leading to exceptional musical talents. They might have perfect pitch, excel in playing instruments, or exhibit a strong appreciation for music. This intelligence aligns with the sensory processing differences often noted in autism.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Some autistic individuals have notable abilities in physical coordination and control, which can manifest in activities such as dance, sports, or crafts. This intelligence is relevant to those who use physical movement as a form of expression or sensory regulation.
Spatial Intelligence: Autistic individuals may have a strong visual thinking ability, which can be an asset in fields requiring spatial awareness and visualization, such as architecture, art, or design. Their attention to visual detail and ability to perceive patterns can be significant strengths.
Interpersonal Intelligence: While social interactions may be challenging for some autistic individuals, others develop deep understanding and empathy, especially in structured or familiar contexts. They might excel in professions where systematic understanding of social interactions is beneficial, such as psychology or counseling.
Intrapersonal Intelligence: Autistic individuals often possess a high degree of self-awareness and introspection, which can lead to a profound understanding of their own emotions, thoughts, and motivations. This intelligence supports personal growth, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy.
Naturalistic Intelligence: Some autistic individuals have a keen interest in nature and an ability to categorize and understand various aspects of the natural world. This can be seen in hobbies or careers related to environmental science, biology, or conservation, where detailed observation and classification are key.
Existential Intelligence: Autistic individuals may engage deeply with existential questions and concepts, reflecting on the nature of existence, purpose, and meaning. This intelligence can be seen in those who explore philosophical, spiritual, or ethical dimensions of life, often leading to profound insights and contributions in these areas.
Understanding these diverse intelligences helps recognize and nurture the varied talents of autistic individuals, promoting a more inclusive and individualized approach in education, employment, and societal participation. It challenges traditional views of intelligence and supports the idea that everyone has unique strengths and potential to contribute meaningfully to society

In Tornado country
Tornadoes twist and turn
Nature's fury unleashed
A dance of destruction
As homes and lives are breached
They roar across the land
Leaving a path of despair
In their wake, broken dreams
And a sense of overwhelming fear
But even as they devastate
They also have a strange allure
A force of nature's power
That we can't help but endure
So we watch with awe and fear
As tornadoes touch the ground
A reminder of the forces
That constantly swirl around
We can only stand in wonder
At their raw and primal might
And hope that we are spared
Their destructive flight
========
Today was very unnerving experience for sure.
Emergency Tornado Alert.
