Kristen Flannery: 我女儿认为成年人不再做梦,梦的内容一定是关于税收的。这反映了我们日常生活中税收的普遍存在,以及成年人生活压力与梦想之间的冲突。我被诊断出患有ARFID,并开始了令人恐惧的暴露疗法。这是一种循序渐进的治疗方法,旨在帮助我克服对某些食物的恐惧和限制性饮食习惯。ARFID现在被归类为一种进食障碍,这与我之前的理解有所不同。 我将继续记录我的饮食和感受,并逐渐尝试新的食物。这个过程既令人兴奋又充满挑战。我希望能通过分享我的经历,帮助更多人了解和克服ARFID。 Will Flannery: 美国联合健康保险公司(UnitedHealthcare)因涉嫌夸大医疗保险优势计划(Medicare Advantage)的索赔而受到调查。这凸显了美国医疗保险系统中存在的欺诈问题,以及私人保险公司与政府之间的复杂关系。医疗保险优势计划是联邦政府资助的私人医疗保险计划,存在潜在的欺诈风险。UnitedHealthcare涉嫌通过夸大病症来增加医疗保险优势计划的索赔金额,从而获得更多联邦资金。 十年过去了,“The Dress”事件仍然引发人们对视觉错觉和颜色感知的讨论。蒲肯野效应解释了人们对同一件衣服颜色感知不同的原因,这与眼睛的明适应和暗适应状态有关。人们对颜色的感知取决于大脑对光照条件的判断,大脑会根据环境条件自动调整颜色的感知。

Deep Dive

Chapters
A parent recounts a dream about kittens and their daughter's surprising reaction: she didn't think adults had dreams anymore, only about taxes. This leads to a discussion about adult dreams and whether they are tax-related or more philosophical.
  • Children may assume adults stop dreaming.
  • Adult dreams can reflect daily life stressors like household chores.
  • Recurring dream themes were discussed.

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode we cover a little bit of everything—from childhood misconceptions about adult life to the latest terrible UnitedHealthcare news. Also, Kristin opens up about her official ARFID diagnosis and they revisit the infamous "The Dress" optical illusion 10 years later—has science finally settled the debate on white and gold vs. blue and black?

Takeaways:

Some kids believe adults don’t have dreams… except about taxes.

Kristin has officially been diagnosed with ARFID and has started exposure therapy, which is as terrifying as it sounds.

UnitedHealthcare is being investigated (again), this time for allegedly inflating Medicare Advantage claims to get more federal funding.

The Dress debate still messes with people’s heads 10 years later, and your brain is constantly interpreting color in ways you don’t realize.

Trying to explain your weird internet job to other parents can get awkward fast.
