Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

@sarahdoingthing "permeable" is the key word there, and hard to explain accurately in the general case http://meaningness.com/boundaries-objects-connections …
@Meaningness was just reading about origin of cell membranes - one big problem is how you get a membrane that properly lets stuff through!
@sarahdoingthing the Seligman book uses cell membrane as analogy for ambiguous boundary too. Finished reading that a few days ago; thanks!
@sarahdoingthing I recommend https://www.academia.edu/4331129/_Levitating_the_Pentagon_Exorcism_as_Politics_Politics_as_Exorcism_Implicit_Religion_14_3_2011_295-318 … btw. Illustrates numerous Seligish points, plus some of mine. Resisting blogging about.
@sarahdoingthing one thing Seligman has wrong is insistence on repetition. IME, that's one method among many, and one-off rituals often best
@sarahdoingthing the pentagon exorcism was one-off and "worked" extremely powerfully in relevant sense
@sarahdoingthing Yowza I missed that! Also recently wrote re moral panic over RPGs, and the est-zen connection—Relevant To My Interests
