#i2e21 Does anyone else see a similarity in this when comparing this to the process of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)? Like, CBT seeming like training to enact personal change via a coach?

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#i2e21 These are the graphs from the lectures if what I'm talking about wasn't clear!

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#i2e21 When attempting to resolve conflict in the x and y axis way, and met with a person/people that only see conflict on a continuum, does their seeing conflict on a continuum automatically force everyone involved in the conflict into the constraints of that continuum?

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

@DanyalHasan2011 Oh, for sure, absolutely! That was also something that crossed my mind. #i2e21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#i2e21 Before going further in the lecture video I'm on, I just wanted to say that Heinz should steal the medicine and that the creator of the medicine is a huge jerk.

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#i2e21 when I get anxious I definitely think about conflict in terms of a continuum. Having conflict resolution based on an x and y axis instead is a great reminder that conflict doesn't have to be a "I get what I want" or "They get what they want" kind of back and forth.

Forgot to tag my response #I2E21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

@breanna_dejesus Absolutely agreed--and yet, there are plenty of securities that many people in our communities face, such as food and housing insecurity.

@Ragnaros2587 I think that we live in a modern Omelas, we just don't see or choose not to see the suffering that happens to ensure our successes or indulgence of desires, i.e. child labor, sweatshops, etc

@breanna_dejesus Growing up I was taught to focus on others instead of myself. Really consequentialist. I mostly focus on how my actions impact others + how I can cause the least amount of problems for people. It's definitely a problem though bc there are times I need to care more about myself 😅

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

@JonathanDaity @SydneyEthics Perhaps this is because it can be difficult to see where the tax funds are going and how these funds are truly supporting what we are putting money into? #I2E21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#i2e21 Before seeing more of module 20's first video, I just wanted to say that when I think of justice, I first think of accountability.

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

Like, mental states can still be based on reality and not just be wholly mentally internal. We can change how something is perceived if we change it's lighting or look from a different angle. Does that make the reality any less real? #I2e21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

I think that working toward different mental states can change how intensely one feels or responds to pain/stress. A different mental state could even possibly change what a person finds pleasurable, like noticing the smaller things we often take 4 granted. what do u think #I2e21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

Also, in regards to the original Susan story, how did she not notice that her business was failing? How did she not notice that her kids only really wanted to drive her expensive car? Do you think Susan trusted too easily? How much doubt is healthy and self-preserving? #I2E21

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

#I2e21 In regards to professor Gray's example about Susan--how would YOU feel if it were you in that example? Would you want to know the truth sometime before your death if you had the option to, or die with blissful ignorance?

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

Personally, I'd choose to die in ignorant bliss bc I wouldn't want the pain of knowing the truth in my last dying hours. However, if I wanted to learn the truth and had some time before death, I know I'd change up my will just to spite my family.

[Jaimie @jam_jub_ub]

sometimes i gotta use text speech to fit the tweet, sorry professor gray
