systemic inequality being the source of lagging educational outcomes when compared to nations of equal economic standing being fixed seems like it would result in greater gains over focusing on just financial education.

Economic Self-Harm. It should be a huge deal, but in today's political landscape of constant chaotic status quo, it's not even a blip on most people's radar.

We need to demand better.

Why do many people have trouble trusting science, and news coming from the science community?

The below image shows two articles both published on a science news outlet and give opposing views on the same topic.

I laud your assertion that something should be done. But nothing actionable will be done to course correct until we remove money from politics, and cease political division based on theological boundaries. Guns will continue to kill innocent people, kids included, until these things happen.

I don't think you've taken stock of the cesspool of humanity that currently walks among us. Genocide currently happening e.g. Ukraine, Palestine, Convicted sexual offender as our POTUS, morally bankrupt SCOTUS. The list of offending humans among us far worse than your assertion.

Because mass shootings and gun violence are so common place and lack any real response by any organization, government or private, to prevent it from happening again. So obviously, the answer to "why isn't it getting more press coverage?" is because nobody cares.

Venting Doesn't Reduce Anger, But Something Else Does, Study Reveals

Well this won't play well with the toxic masculinity crowd.

Calming activities reduced anger in the lab and the field. Effective arousal-reducing activities included slow-flow yoga, mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and taking a timeout.

I see many meme's online pitting different generations against each other, it's not helping us get beyond the division that is occurring. **The infodemic is real, and it's growing. We must come together to combat it.**

Three reasons young people are more likely to believe conspiracy theoriesβ€”and how we can help them discover the truth Conspiracy theories are a widespread occurrence in today's hyper-connected and polarized world.

This quote struck a chord with me.

"Ultimately, building a society that is resistant to misinformation is not about finding fault with a particular generation."

A graph comparing the greenhouse gas emissions of various protein-rich foods, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kgCO2 eq) per 100 grams of protein. The chart features colorful curves representing different food items, with the height of each curve indicating the level of emissions associated with its production.

The bottom line is that plant-based protein sources still have a lower footprint than the lowest-impact meat products.

Sources are credited to Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek (2018) for the data and Our World in Data for the visualization

If you want to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet, less meat is nearly always better than sustainable meat.
