      Safety as an enabler of growth https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-18-11:24.html … You can't grow unless you can learn, and you can't learn unless you can try things, but many things both within and around you will conspire to make trying things unsafe.

      Good strategies often fail https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-19-10:22.html … Good strategies have to account for low probability high impact events, so typically it will look like your strategy was wrong when the outcome you always expected comes to pass. This is the fallacy of Resulting.

      On feeling blocked https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-20-10:33.html … Feeling blocked is the existential felt sense of a missing capability, the feeling that your internal world doesn't have the capacities that you've grown used to. (Yes, I wrote this because I was feeling blocked)

      The Inner Game of Celeste https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-21-12:35.html … Celeste and The Inner Game of Tennis both teach us things about how to relate to ourselves, and the differences between thought and action, but Celeste's lessons about how to treat parts of ourself are much better.

      Leaving knowledge in the box https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-22-18:01.html … The problem with all knowledge being connected is that in order to perfectly understand anything you need to understand everything. That doesn't work, so you need to get comfortable with not understanding things instead.

      Life as an anytime algorithm https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-23-15:52.html … It is often worth structuring your strategies for achieving a goal so that you make meaningful progress along the way and will see benefits even if you abandon them before achieving the ultimate goal.

      Trust beyond reason https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-24-09:46.html … You need to trust people more than seems reasonable, and before they become important to you, because otherwise you will end up with people who are important to you but who you can't trust.

      One of the best things I've been doing recently (since some time last year) is getting a small group of friends together every three weeks to help eachother talk through problems in our lives. Here are some notes on how it works.https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-25-16:02.html …

      Pragmatic Problem Solving (aka Kludges) https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-26-09:48.html … It's important not to get too hung up on solving the problem "properly" because it causes you to miss easy, ugly, solutions that you can just kludge together quickly.

      Competence is sexy https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-03-27-08:18.html … This extremely technical analysis of the nature of sexiness and the gender politics of attractiveness is probably the closest you will ever see to me being horny on main.
