With it come many abstract emotions and ideas. Some aid in survival. The capacity for hope is unique to humans. It keeps us going through adversity and hard times.

Here's a short essay on hope. 📄 ▶️https://p-rescription.com/on-hope/

Being an organisation "lifer" is no longer the way of the future; non-linear career paths are where it's at.

In the infinity of the cosmos, our Earth might well be the only place where Life exists. Yet, we have devastated this miracle and are now poised at the edge of a frightening abyss of desolation. We have to act, and act fast.

✅ The move to a cleaner energy source is not as simple as often portrayed.
✅ Successful energy transition requires a shift in consumer preferences and lifestyles. Degrowth offers the best chance of achieving our goals without triggering a global climate crisis or worsening social inequalities.

✅ Fly‑on‑the-wall: View the scene from the perspective of a neutral observer.
✅ Time travel: Mentally visit the future — and then examine the regret retrospectively.
✅ Talk to yourself in the third person - use pronouns like he, she, they.

We pour energy into our projects. Despite our best efforts, some of them will fail to pan out. We are reluctant to quit and keep pushing on. This is the "sunk cost fallacy" at work.

💬 We build our understanding of the world based on how much we enjoy certain aspects of it. The object does not have inherent hedonistic worth. Symmetry, balance, and the golden ratio, among others, have been proposed as factors in how we evaluate aesthetic quality. But, valuation systems are flexible, not dogmatic.

💬 There are two types of happiness: hedonic and eudaimonic. Hedonic happiness stems from activities which give fleeting pleasure; eudaimonic happiness is joy that has meaning and purpose. We derive greater satisfaction from experiences than material possessions. We are under no compulsion to favour one over the other. Aim to create a life that allows us to enjoy both.

💬 Maps are convenient models that help us navigate the complexities of the real world. Information is stripped in the interest of compactness. They are poor pointers to the risks strewn across the path. People often mistake maps for true representations of the world.

💬 Social media offered both opportunity and calamity. Regrettably, it has ended up as a deranged, psychopathic portrayal of human sociality. The more emotionally charged the content, the faster it spreads on the networks. Facebook and Twitter's potential demise presents an opportunity to accept their destruction... and allow the emergence of better alternatives.

💬 We enjoy having options, but dislike making decisions. Choices give us a sense of control. When given a choice, however, we tend to prefer the default option: the default effect. Our survival instinct, hardwired to prevent loss, instructs us to avoid potentially dangerous circumstances.

💬 Entropy is a measure of energy loss in a system; too much, and it will crumble into chaos. Thinking in terms of negentropy, the opposite, can help you fight against entropy and make it easier for people to achieve larger goals. There are five simple steps to reversing energy loss in daily life. Read how in this article.

💬 You won't invent anything if you don't try to reinvent the wheel. Suitcases with wheels, an obvious add-on, were seen only in 1954! But, don't expect to earn money or achieve major life goals. Play around. Rediscover an old philosophical insight. Rewrite an established fairy tale. Remix a vintage work of art. Retrieve futuristic visions from the past.

💬 Persons who opted to treat themselves by using money, time, or other resources in personal pleasures were compared with those who chose to treat someone else. The activities were straightforward, inexpensive, or free. Spending on others enhanced feelings of purpose and made life more meaningful. Investing in oneself didn't offer the same rewards.

💬 - Reasoning can construct systems to get to a goal but cannot tell you where you should be going. Goals should be supported by intrinsic (non-physical) values outside of a rational framework. You discover them by being aware of the times things feel right. No-holds-barred productivity is progress without a coherent direction.
