    'Self discipline' is a patch for being conflicted about what you want to do. Often, productive people are interpreted as 'having discipline': able to force themselves to do the work even when it's unpleasant. But creative productivity only ever works in *spite* of that.

    Moloch is the misconception that one can apply game theory to situations that involve creativity, which in reality game theory cannot model or address.

    Nice thread by on how to investigate weird ideas while keeping rational — including a bunch of different frameworks for thinking and noticing/resolving inexplicit conflicts:

    I like how everyone believes that 1. high school is evil, literal prison, anything taught by the bureaucrats there will be deformed in unimaginable ways 2. high school should teach probability, programming, practical finances, etc.

    There are so many factors in individuals lives that affect things like sleep, diet, and drug responses. If you work out, maybe you need more sleep. If you're a writer, maybe more is overkill. Or maybe it's all bollocks. So… how do you make life choices?

    I have no idea what the truth is about sleep. But this raises questions like: - How do you judge claims without doing 130hrs of research? - Given studies themselves can be similarly bad, how do we know anything? (Do we?) - how to tune your BS detector - Self-experiment = best?

    You can't have a moral obligation to someone if you don't share a problem with them. If they want something, you're not obligated to provide it, unless you're trying to interact with them / working on the same project/problem. Owing people has to *make sense for you*.

    There're some errors one tends to run into when trying to apply critical rationalism to stuff outside science: ▸ Things can be reinterpreted at will. ▸ Thinking mostly works by explicit reasoning, which can be criticised. ▸ Universality means specifics can be disregarded. 2/

    Nice crit of (naive?) critical rationalism. 1/

    So if you spend your time thinking about things like suggested, maybe your world is less of a crazy dream mash-up. The world as you know it may be more about Gears-like stuff ( ). Or maybe it's not (or it's mixed) and there are blindspots.

    This is a tweet about blindspots. As far as I can tell, psychology (with its current anti-rational memes) really does work this way. Science gets by because people can focus on a narrow thing that doesn't get so ensnared by hang-ups. But meaning/purpose/personal-life gets f'd.

    Learning is resolving conflicts. You could be solving conflicts in one way while being under conflict in another way. E.g. you learn some maths, but it's at school and you're only doing it because your parents forced you. Force eats into your ability to learn by setting limits.

    'Fun' in the technical sense used here is "when explicit and inexplicit ideas agree on what to do next"—i.e. when there isn't internal conflict, or one part of you coercing another part. So, it's the law that ideas can only validly be judged by merit rather than authority/force.

    If it's a choice between 140 characters and flying cars, I think 140 (now 280) characters was the right one to get. Interesting in the context of new cities: in some ways, Twitter lets you convene your own city.

    Cults and coercive groups often encourage a dynamic of criticising members, picking out their flaws, pulling apart their psychology. (AKA "struggle session" — goes by various names, e.g. "workshop" in the Limori cult) Ironically, the guru is easier to criticise if anyone tried!

    (: is this the thing? Also, how do you do this stuff safely? How do you go through and 'complete' the feelings instead of just making them all intense and then get stuck & with worse feelings than before? Sometimes if I skip steps of Gendlin focusing, this happens.)
