Darwin was right, cont.

Primates' "facial expressions are more than a reflexive 'readout' of emotions, as has been often thought, but are also produced by higher-level cortical neural systems of intentional control."

Perspective:

Making faces

Facial expressions are produced through a coordinated system of voluntary and emotional pathways

Simple social rituals like eye contact and small talk are psychologically powerful

How much do you engage with others when you’re out in public? Lots of people don’t actually engage with others much at all. Think of commuters on public transportation staring down at their phones...

Blind date: A candid chat about AI relationships and fashion mishaps

Imogen, a doctor in her early 30s, met Andy, a consultancy founder, during a blind date arranged by The Guardian. Their conversation covered diverse topics including AI relationships, table manners, and personal anecdotes. Imogen joked about asking Andy for a compliment on her outfit, which he initially declined, prompting her to quip about white lies. Both praised each other's debate skills and open-mindedness, with Andy noting Imogen's charisma and intellectual curiosity. The evening included a pub visit and a dog-walking session in the park. While they shared a cheek kiss, neither felt the date was perfect—Imogen wished for cooler weather, while Andy regretted not complimenting her outfit. Despite the awkward moments, both expressed interest in meeting again to continue their discussions.
