@Medieval_Media@WorldOfCaenyr Caenyr literally helped me shape myself ๐ The love for story nurtured in WoC remains central to my work as a psychotherapist today
Contained within every promise is an oath of accountability: an understanding that something will or will not be done. A resolution, on the other hand, is a declaration of desire. Resolutions activate a mental state of regard for our quality of being. In this mindset, we live in the exhilarating in-between of who we have been and who we wish to be. The fantasy of a clean slate motivates us to change.
As 2023 comes to a close, we find ourselves standing at the threshold of a new beginning, teetering between the echoes of the past and the aspirations of the future. It is a moment ripe with potential, a time to reflect not only on the promises we make to ourselves but also on the stories we must release.
So, my question for you is, this new year, what are you ready to let go of and what are you inviting in?
@ESYudkowsky Not a quick way but I'm not convinced there is a quick way to challenge deeply set cultural/psychologically protective views? Mirrors climate debate in many ways.
@ESYudkowsky I'm a psychiatrist and deeply interested in alignment research. I convinced a senior colleague of this awhile back.
How to convince people I think is the wrong question. The conversation itself triggers very strong defence strategies which prevent most people considering the Q.
@ESYudkowsky If a computer thinks like me, what makes us Human? Is ever thing I was always taught by religion or mother culture (Ishmael, Daniel Quinn) wrong?
We challenged it by noting this together then. How do you know. What if it is possible. Isn't there a moral imperative if it is?
@GTWScar@TangoTekLP Been following YouTube Vods due to time diff to Australia for 13 months. 3am wake up entirely worth it!! Absolutely agreed, most impressive survival creation ever made.
As always wholesome hermitcraft fun. A testament to what gaming can be.
Pumpkin your time to shine is here!
@CARMMedicine@UniMelb They're also a knockout model for studying the foundations of our #neuropsychology.
It's an honour to contribute a tiny piece of work to both these grand endeavours.
@CARMMedicine@UniMelb#extremeenvironments are the opportunity to explore the environmental "minimum viable product" (bio-psycho-social-environment) to sustain human health & (eventually) civilisation.
Very cool to see the skinsuit ๐ฉโ๐ developed by
@RMIT and ๐ฆ๐บ company Human Aerospace on display in the entrance hall of the European Astronaut Centre where I am training.
This project was funded through the @AusSpaceAgency and developed in collaboration with @esa
