Happy Weekend, Friends!
Here are this week’s precious gems 💎:
✨ Light vs. Darkness
“The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness.” - Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

The project “Mom, I See War” is creating a collage of children’s drawings about the war in Ukraine, to be auctioned as NFTs. The funds will be transferred to the humanitarian aid fund for children affected by the war. See it here:
“Our experience of ourselves, as having an enduring, stable identity over time, is a useful illusion. As is our perception of free will: we believe we are acting freely when we follow our own beliefs, goals or desires – but we can’t freely choose those beliefs, goals or desires. The purpose of consciousness, of all these hallucinations, is to keep us alive.” - Anil Seth, Neuroscientist
