I explore a mixture of self improvement and comics/movies/fantasy/gaming topics. My main interest, is where the two meet - what can we learn from our heroes?
1. Star Trek TNG is not an ideal & optimistic vision of humanity's future. It is a vision of the perfect workplace: everyone gets where they are on skill, workers are encouraged & thrive for excellence, communication is open and transparent, cooperation & loyalty are valued...
There's much to learn from the first episode of Star Trek, TNG - Encounter at Farpoint! Picard demonstrates some savvy debate skills, and there's a nice message about learning from the past and becoming better for it https://t.co/wxLcjc5QcL
I love the Raimi films but I wasn't keen on this aspect. I prefer that Spidey runs out of fluid and has to refill, rather than having an endless supply of stuff coming out of his body.
@PopMythology Yeah it's right up my street. A friend once described chi to me as "harmony". Like a powerful kick is due to harmony of the movement - the biomechanics are optimal, everything moving at the right angles, muscles contracting at the right time etc.
Iron Fist, Bruce Lee, Taoism and the real meaning of chi - Brilliant discussion of the concept of chi, well worth a read, by @popmythology https://t.co/lgOWxFPcjf

The superhero in you: TEDx talk by @E_PaulZehr. I like the advice "Be good at many things." A wider perspective can transfer to deeper learning/better skill in your specialist field. "Range" is a good book about this. https://t.co/JmqRxlPQd2
Pattinson's workout routine. A lot of people saying it's all cardio - but it depends what exercises he did in his "sandbag training." We haven't seen the results, but without dedicated weight lifting, seems we're getting a lithe, streamlined Batman.

Creativity doesn't result from 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, but 10,000 hours of exploration. Expertise is characterized by efficiency, whereas creativity is characterized by lots of trial and error. Picasso said he often didn't know where he was going until he got there.
