Genetic underpinnings of chills from art and music

Genetic underpinnings of chills from art and music

Author summary Many people experience chills when listening to music, reading poetry, or viewing art. Yet not everyone feels these reactions in the same way. These differences provide a window into how our brains and bodies respond to art, revealing individual variation in emotional experiences. To investigate what drives these differences, we analysed data from over 15,500 participants with available genetic information, examining whether DNA variation could help explain why some people are more prone to these intense responses. We estimated that roughly 30% of the variation in chills is linked to family-related factors, of which about one-fourth was attributable to common DNA variants. Some genetic influences appear to be shared across music, poetry, and art, and are associated with individual openness to experience, including general artistic interests, while others may be unique to each domain. These results suggest that genetics contributes to how strongly people respond to cultural experiences and pave the way for future studies on the genetics of sensitivity to art and music experiences.

정말로 AI가 시장의 효율을 높인다면 인력해고로 경제붕괴의 악순환에 들어가지 않으려면 4일 근무제 같은 노동시간 단축과 보편적 기본 소득으로 기업이 효율로 얻은 이득을 노동자와 나누게해야 합니다. 이걸 기업이 할까요? 아니죠. 그런 법률을 만들 정치인을 지지해야겠죠.

Warum wird in allem, was dazu gesagt wird, nie das Kräfteverhältnis berücksichtigt? Warum muss die Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen Niederlagen immer so emotional destruktiv sein?
Warum wird das nie als logistische und technische Frage behandelt, also wie man diese totale Übermacht austricksen kann?

광주·전남 행정통합특별법안이 24일 국회 법제사법위원회를 통과해 이달 말 국회 본회의에서 처리된다. 국민의힘이 반대하는 대전·충남과 대구·경북 행정통합특별법안 입법은 보류됐다. 이재명 대통령도 지역이 반대하는 통합을 강행하긴 어렵다고 밝히면서 광주·전남 외 나머지 지역 통합은 무산될 가능성이 커졌다. 6·3 지방선거에서 통합특별시장을 선출하기 위해서는...

How Conservatives Gave Themselves Permission to Go MAGA

Ten years ago, leading conservatives came out “Against Trump” – but soon let their disdain for “the Left” override all else.

It is the story of Modern Conservatism in a nutshell.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Oh this is just too funny. Apple didn't specify why they upheld the removal of my review - but I guess that department doesn't know about the rights us Europeans have under the GDPR to request a copy of _all data a company has on us_.

I got it today. It includes the reason Apple has given internally for pulling a review.

"Offensive Content" is the motivation used.

Here's the review text in full:

"Enshittification resistant short-form video

I've been using Loops during its beta phase and I'm very happy to see it now in the general appstore. Loops is decentralized which means that there's no single person or entity that can take it over and remake algorithms to their benefit.

Loops is for you. No ads. No evil algorithms. Just shoot your videos and share - and follow the people you want without weird content popping up.

5/5 - this is awesome."

ping @pluralisticCory Doctorow if this means Apple censors on the word "enshittification" which would be funny all in itself.

Goodbye InnerHTML, Hello SetHTML: Stronger XSS Protection in Firefox 148

Goodbye innerHTML, Hello setHTML: Stronger XSS Protection in Firefox 148 – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

Cross-site scripting (XSS) remains one of the most prevalent vulnerabilities on the web. The new standardized Sanitizer API provides a straightforward way for web developers to sanitize untrusted HTML before inserting it into the DOM. Firefox 148 is the first browser to ship this standardized security enhancing API, advancing a safer web for everyone. We expect other browsers to follow soon.
