What's your view on EMFs? What do you belief about EMFs? I keep hearing seemingly reputable people warning about them. My husband says the argument isn’t scientifically sound. If you think EMFs are harmful, why, and how do you reduce exposure? I use wireless headphones a lot- my phone not so much.

New structures for family-friends? Chatting with a friend recently and came up with this novel idea.
Historically, many people would end up married, having kids, and having responsibilities to their family and local community and groups.
These days, we have less family and civic integrity, less people are having kids. More people are creating their
family of choice
with friends.I think there’s a general love and aliveness everyone wants to express and be in connection with.
But without the usual routes of kids/religion/local community, it doesn’t get routed well anymore.
We need more structures/ideas/understanding to support new kinds of families and community structures.
Examples:
How about an app that makes it easier to crowd source among trusted local friends to babysit?Most housing is built around one nuclear family 1-4 bedrooms. But what about community homes with larger kitchens and living rooms and smaller but more bedrooms?
I’m gesturing at this general area at the idea that modern, industrial civilization is built around nuclear families but we have a lot more forms being generated now but still lagging behind in the idea/social practice/phys infrastructure to match.
I like this idea a lot. Especially the specific app— As a parent, I’ve had a lot of friends offer to babysit, but my wife and I opt for Bambino instead (when we don’t have our preferred neighbor-teenager or friend’s college-aged daughter available) because there’s something... I want this tech for music. I have such specific tastes in music, I want to be able to find the people who also find stuff I dig. Like the ultimate version of Pandora. But also the ability to collaborate on music, like the way producers alter songs to the flavor they like, but a bunch of folks could do that process on a song to crowdsource cool songs.
Resonance on specific tastes in music. Love your hunger for discovery and collabs. Music is so imporant to me and LOVE discovering new songs and use shazam while driving and… Now 700 something shazams am frustrated and rarely recover new music as it’s not a user friendly...
