From service dogs for PTSD to therapy animals in hospitals and workplaces, animals support people’s mental health in many different ways. Dr. Maggie O’Haire breaks down what science has to say about the human-animal bond. Hear the full conversation:

“I have PTSD when I think of those letters,” said the executive. Big Oil lobbyists are afraid of a Democratic house because they remember the historic hearings I held with the Big Oil CEOs that echoed the Big Tobacco hearings. End fossil fuel subsidies.

Crypto Klotz on how bear market PTSD can cost traders: "I think that if you stuck it out through the bear market, you pretty much just showed up to get kicked in the balls every day for a year, and you stop forgetting or you don't really remember that good things can happen." "And then I made a tweet about this yesterday where if you look at a past bull market, even if you participated in it, you look at some zoomed-out monthly chart on CoinGecko or TradingView on a weekly or monthly timeframe. And you're just like, 'Man, stuff just went straight up. That felt so good. I can't wait for this bull market.'" "All the stuff that ended up doing really, really well went through these gut-wrenching 50, 60, 70 percent pullbacks like twice a week for a month or two, making you question everything."

"A lot of people have PTSD from the old days and other token launches" Rip Cars co-founder David Khosroshvili on why MetaDAO changes the founder dump risk "I don't think people realize how much ultimate power token holders have in the MetaDAO ecosystem." "A lot of the fear with earlier unlocks is that the founder is going to dump it on the market. Which, after 18 months the founder could also dump it on the market in the old structure. It just kind of removes the 18 month thing." "The cool thing about MetaDAO is the unlock doesn't happen all together, there are going to be smaller portions of unlocks. And after that, if you see me selling on the market and actually doing damage to the market itself, first of all the founder has to be a bit dumb to do that. Because if I go to the market and just dump it into the LP, of course people are going to FUD my product, and then I'm most probably going to have far fewer users, and no one is going to care about my company." "And if I do create a situation where people think I'm creating more damage to the company than the value I'm bringing, then people can always liquidate me. People don't really realize the power of token holders in the MetaDAO ecosystem, where they can easily liquidate the project early on." "A lot of the power is always on the token holder side, and I believe bringing a bit of balance to the team side just makes sense." FT @allocateur @ripcarsio
