The $7+ trillion wellness industry fuels constant trends—supplements, wearables, biohacking, detoxes, and "optimization" hacks—often prioritizing consumerism over genuine well-being. Social media amplifies hype, turning basic habits into marketable products, while quick fixes and fear-driven marketing create anxiety and endless purchasing.Many experts now call for moving beyond sensationalism toward sustainable basics: sleep, nutrition, movement, and real rest. In 2026, trends lean toward "less is more"—analog detox, evidence-based fundamentals, and rejecting overcomplicated routines.Health shouldn't be a status symbol or endless upgrade; true wellness resists commodification.https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/future-of-wellness-trends https://www.globalwellnesssummit.com/trends https://www.the-independent.com/health-and-fitness/wellness-trends-2026-b2894282.html

Are the humanities losing value in the technological age?No. While technology dominates efficiency, scale, and measurable output, the humanities remain essential for what machines cannot replicate: meaning-making, ethical judgment, cultural self-understanding, and imaginative vision.AI can process data and imitate style, but it cannot feel historical tragedy, wrestle with moral ambiguity, interpret lived human experience, or ask why we should build certain futures instead of others.In an age of accelerating technological power, the ability to question, contextualize, and humanize that power becomes more—not less—valuable.The real risk is not that humanities lose value, but that society forgets why they matter until it is too late.https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-humanities-dont-lose-their-value-in-the-age-of-ai

In art, expression is more important than technique. Technique is a tool that serves expression—masterful skills without genuine emotion or ideas often feel empty. Great artists like Picasso prove that bold ideas and emotional depth can transcend technical perfection, evoking stronger impact. While solid technique enhances clarity, it's the soulful expression that truly moves viewers and defines lasting art.https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/180040220 https://www.quora.com/Whats-more-important-in-art-technique-or-contents https://www.jfdaily.com/wx/detail.do?id=983789
