#know-thyself — Public Fediverse posts

After many years of using the internet, it would be interesting to get my hands on one of the digital profiles that have been generated about me. I have a feeling the algorithms know me better than I know myself.😒

A quotation from Proust

In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
 
[En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]

Socrates said 'Know thyself.' I tried; turns out I'm just an indecisive organism that craves carbs and sleep. Maybe ignorance was bliss.

For any anyone that played with LLM tools regularly since Fall 2022, I learned of a strike gold use case.

Leveraging own history, written text, original material, prompt the chatbot to roast yourself.

ChatGPT or Claude followed with a “spicy” roast.

Then, the “nuclear” option.

I can’t think of a better use case to demonstrate eminence, infirmity and #KnowThyself.

Self-deprecation is superpower for those with actual power.

Vulnerability is the path to #innovation.

When I - correctly - identify someone as •not• being a Serious Person™, it is the application of #KnowThyself and the Jungian precept that “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

I am an absurd person.

I know this.

At least I’m somewhat self-aware.

Are you?

With my peaked cap, headphones, goatee, sunglasses and parka on I've been imagining to myself that I look like Kurt Russell in The Thing, but I am coming to accept that I look more like Wilfred Brimley in The Thing.

"Know thyself."

In language learning and in life, understanding who we are gives us the strength to face any challenge.

As we cope with the uncertainty in the Middle East, may we find peace and resilience in knowing ourselves—our roots, our values, our voice.

Through language, we connect, we express, and we endure. Let this be our anchor in these stormy times. 🌍✡️

@ssaxena_03 Thank you for sharing! I know myself -- non-hyperactive ADD prone to hyperfocus -- and already use social media too much on my laptop. Had I ever installed it on my phone I would have starved and/or walked straight into a moving truck.

DISC, StrengthsFinder, Myers-Briggs, and the Zodiac calendar all serve an ancient purpose: to #KnowThyself.

People are hungry for insights to know why they are the way that they are, to understand what makes them tick, and how to become self-actualized.

The reason: most people suffer #KnowledgeBlindness about themselves, their family, and #history.

People are generally averse to doing the hard work, and the above solutions serve as a sort of hack.

@peachfront yeah, my point is that once you start unpacking, it removes the pervasive #KnowledgeBlindness and can help to #KnowThyself.
