A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with a friend, and he asked me an interesting question. It was something in the lines of “How does the brain know that it knows the meaning of a word when it is spoken?” I had not considered that thought before then. I thought about it …
Yesterday, I was privileged to be hosted on a friend’s Instagram Live show, “Thinking Out Loud with Praise Ero”. It was my first time being featured on any such show, and I was super excited —and a little bit nervous— when she reached out with the invitation to be her first guest on the show. …

If you are yet to check out the previous blog entry, I’ll suggest you start from there. Today’s entry is more like a sequel to that post and the second part of a 3-part series. A quick recap… We have increasingly placed more value on virtual “likes and comments” at the expense of real-life connections. …
