Can confirm. I answered a request from Nat for test readers of Husk. I loved it, gave some glowing feedback and small piece of constructive feedback. We've had a delightful little exchange and I feel even more connected to him and his work.
I can't think of two meta skills more important than real world problem solving and accessing the present moment. The entire education system barely touches either. It will probably be something that is neglected by the media but will be studied by historians
When youโve spent 20 years obsessing over epistemology and learning physics, it can be jarring to realize that most people donโt have beliefs at all, in a rigorous sense. They just have emotional reactions to sentences.
@isabelunraveled Met my wife when neither of us wanted to find someone. Funny moment when you realize what's happening and you think "well this is inconvenient...but I wouldn't have it any other way."
@isabelunraveled You feel terrified and then you feel upset at yourself for feeling terrified. But learning to relax into this process - enjoying the thrill and detaching from the outcome - is one of the most rewarding parts of maturing. The fear never entirely goes away though...
@SahilBloom@p_millerd I think the biggest distinction here is your definition of "suck." As a trainer, I always try to teach everyone about "tuning your tastes." It takes a bit of upfront willpower but eventually you learn to crave things that used to "suck." I crave healthy meals, ice baths, etc.
