I love when someone publishes a paper that’s basically “Why is [super basic thing]?”.
“Why do we like looking at pretty things” is a pretty amazing question to ask.

Sometimes when I read about a new study, I find myself thinking "duh, of course" or "why did we need a study to prove this super obvious thing". I have to remind myself that its always valuable to check assumptions and we can learn a lot even by studying obvious questions.

Yeah but it seems to be happening a lot more.
This is literally thousands of years-old knowledge. At some point maybe we could call it settled and move on?

I think there’s a not insignificant cultural factor at play here. Extra manicured gardens feel artificial to me, and don’t yield the same effect as something more resembling of a natural setting. And I know I’m not alone at this. I’d love to see this replicated in at last two or three other continents to contrast the findings.
