Great lesson: If you only gather user feedback after your thing is already built and finished, you deserve to be mildly embarrassed on national TV.

This unhinged idea is critical to the proposition that surveys are meaningful - that there is A Meaning of e.g. “Are you a risk-taker?” that is reflected in Likert scale responses.

@lisatomic5 for some kinds of cringe, it can feel like the crinhe is my own resistance against liking the other person, a kind of renunciation. "there IS something loveable, pure and attractive about what they're doing, but if I'd join them I'd fear social punishment"

PSA: If you keep thinking about it, write it down, set an alarm, emotionally process it (somatically, not narratively), make a decision.

several noncoercive parenting wins today: we went to the dentist for the first time and his verdict was “how fun!” and then I let him paint my bare chest with brown paint and wipe it to make it acceptable for me to clean his butt

[Ari Nielsen @anielsen108]

My pillars of parenting:

1. It’s OK to want behavior from a child. But any feeling that they MUST behave someway is toxic, even not expressed, even in subtlest form. Address any such sense with meditation to thoroughly release.

Then can you can truly advise instead of command.

@PaulVanderKlay @vervaeke_john @PageauJonathan he starts using a peculiar kind of experiment: "a person would attempt to judge the quality of an action, or a building, or a painting, by consulting his own self, as to the degree of wholeness, or healed-ness, that appeared in the items under discussion"
