Stress, anxiety, excessive worrying, etc all have reasons and causes you could use to justify them. Mindfulness is really just a deeper state of awareness and introspection. Observing your mind and beginning to see the patterns of thought and behavior that cause you unnecessary pain and suffering, and experimenting to find healthy solutions that work for you.

Sorry, Walter, I don't recall comic book companies hiring legions of psychologists, behavioral economists, and data scientists in order to optimize engagement metrics by exploiting evolutionary bugs built into our brains. This is fundamentally different technology, but nice try. I don't necessarily think that this law is the solution, but I'm glad not everyone is as laissez faire about it as yourself.

Pretty sure they mean as a research topic. Like, it's not being actively researched or improved by academia or industry.

It's harder, but not impossible to get this sort of compensation in a remote gig. I recently went through a similar process, needing to move from Seattle to central MD for family reasons, and not wanting a lifestyle-altering commute. E.g. Stripe is high on this list and is very remote friendly.
