  1. What do you think is a good model for tier 2?
  2. I guess good thing to do is to question the science that underlies Spiral dynamics.
  3. Well, did not realise fires could do that
  4. I heard book: Staring At The Sun: Being at peace with your own mortality: Overcoming the Dread of Death by Irvin Yalom is helpful.
  5. I'd argue though that a key thing is self-belief. If you believe that you will be successful then the hard work has a very different flavour to it. Often that belief stems from having earlier corrective experiences. For example, seeing progress from a gym program. Hard work for a depressed person who has struggled to meet their previous goals, and hard work for someone with many accomplishments behind them, is rather different I'd argue. So, if you are someone who has struggled to meet goals, then you'll need to get some corrective experiences and then your relationship to hard work will change. At least that is my theory.
  6. Love the post bro! This year I finally escaped out of a place of my life having fallen apart. I am very grateful to no longer be non-functional, and finally able to pursue my goals more confidently. Emotional issues still there seriously, but I have positive momentum. Currently coming to the end of an 'Intro to political philosophy' Yale lecture series I've taken fall notes on. And I'm currently in my third part of an 8 part cybersecurity course. Which is a career path i'm committing to for awhile.
  7. I disagree that it is magnetic. I think sometimes it is and sometimes it is not. In many dysfunctional families, being authentic will get you punished, and can bring upon abuse. For example, expressing anger towards a tyrannical father, or being open about being gay in high school. But in more mature communities, authenticity is more welcomed and doesn't get punished so much. For example, AA meeting.
  8. I see most of the issue here as you and I having different conceptions of what is meant by intellectual. I see it more as someone who is a humanities academic or self-publishes humanities academic work. Seems you see an intellectual as someone who is a philosopher.
