Mindsetting

Mindsetting or cognitive trendsetting.

> **From Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings and Jules Verne’s novels to Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s “2001 Space Odyssey”, innovations have often been described way before it was actually possible to solve their underlying scientific challenges. Such visionary literature, that helps inform and inspires product design, has now become a strongly established practice. Science fiction and foresight therefore share a single common interest: anticipating plausible futures through the exploration of the different consequences of scientific and technological progress.**

>

> **Key player in NATO’s evolution and strategic thinking, Allied Command Transformation has been exploring this technique in order to foster the innovative and transformational thinking the Alliance needs to adapt. The following fictional short story was developed in this context. By focusing not only on innovative technologies but also on the broader context they fit in, this short piece offers a true vision of the transformations required to meet future operational challenges**.

Brain synchronisation

#### Trans/interpersonal brain synchronisation

I hate those moments that linger in the air. Entirely unspoken yet you both know it. It's the weirdest thing. You know it and you know they know it too and just by acknowledging this observation that it now exists, it become apparent. And it just sits there not going anywhere. Like as soon as the thought strikes across your mind there's no going back, this subconscious intuition, it's not something that you can think about without the other completely unaware. You're both nearly as equally aware.

I've never really talked about it before or even put much thought into it. Guess it's just something that most keep to themselves. Reminds me of when I was on 6 hits of LSD while my friend was also on 6 hits. Looked over to me and told me how he liked me much more on LSD. Insinuating that he doesn't like me much at other times anymore. Dosing on LSD was basically the foundation of our friendship and not a big surprise really but sure sent me on a downward spiral of a trip from there. We barely even made eye contact or talked after that night then he moved and that was that.

Life

I had a man (55 years ago) that could not be faithful. He wasn’t a bad man, he just wasn’t a faithful man. I met all his women and I realized that he had very good taste. THEY were intelligent, kind, and loving. I made friends with all of them. When he died slowly of a brain tumor, we all gathered round. I asked him why it didn’t work with me and the answer brought me a great deal of peace. I could forgive him for what he had done to all of us. The others were the same and one of them, with whom he had had a baby girl, brought him to her home and stayed with him till he passed. We are still friends. It wasn’t the life I wanted but life is what it is and you grow through it. He taught me many many things about what I was capable of that served me well in my remaining years. I’m 73 now. And I don’t regret a thing.

Boundary testing

>
> ### 16. Boundary testing and hoovering.
>
>
> Narcissists, sociopaths and otherwise toxic people continually try and test your boundaries to see which ones they can trespass. The more violations they’re able to commit without consequences, the more they’ll push the envelope.
>
>
> That’s why survivors of emotional as well as physical abuse often experience even more severe incidents of abuse each and every time they go back to their abusers.
>
>
>
> Abusers tend to “hoover” their victims back in with sweet promises, fake remorse and empty words of how they are going to change, only to abuse their victims even more horrifically. In the abuser’s sick mind, this boundary testing serves as a punishment for standing up to the abuse and also for being going back to it. When narcissists try to press the emotional reset button, reinforce your boundaries even more strongly rather than backtracking on them.

I think it comes from WoW players who view Wrath as WoW's peak, and being fans of WoW and MMOs they don't immediately recognize that WoW itself is what turned them from a company making good games to a company using it's IP to drain as much money for as long as possible from players.

Culture

> **What this has shown is that a game development studio isn’t something that can simply be built and operated through the combination of financial investment and a few big-name talent acquisitions. You can’t just pour in money at one end and watch blockbusting games pop out the other. One inconvenient factor that seems to have been overlooked in both these cases is that, like a movie production team, or a sitcom writers’ room, or an orchestra, or a repertory theatre company, a games studio is a culture. It requires a combination of factors, including a shared vision, a work ethic, a supportive environment, a sense of identity and purpose, which emerge not out of funding, but out of creative relationships and trust. Frustratingly, you can’t buy these things, they develop.**

Conflict

> You think that in human communication, conflict, to some degree, is unavoidable. That’s an interesting and realistic perspective. Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of human interaction. It can arise from different opinions, values, beliefs, needs, interests, or goals. It can also be caused by misunderstanding, miscommunication, or misinterpretation. Conflict can be constructive or destructive, depending on how it is handled and resolved. Conflict can be a source of learning, growth, change, or improvement, or it can be a source of stress, anger, resentment, or violence. Conflict can be managed or resolved through various methods, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or dialogue. Conflict can be prevented or reduced by improving communication, understanding, empathy, or respect. Conflict is a complex and dynamic phenomenon that affects human relationships and societies. It is not always bad or good, but it is always important and relevant. ﻿﻿

This entity was more than the usual small servitor right from its inception. We gave it more pure chaos, so that it has more degrees of freedom, is capable of making more elaborate decisions. Thus it belongs to that curious class of entities that is more than a servitor but not as complex and autonomous as a god/dess. I’ll just refer to it as a spirit.**

Abstraction may be conceived as an ability or as the product of such, of the abstraction faculty. The faculty of abstraction is useful in that when humans poitn a finger at something, they may be able to abstract from the gesture what is being pointed at, while dogs, who apparently have a lower ability for abstraction, may not be able to understand that something is being pointed *at,* and simply look at the finger.

> Discovery versus invention
>
>
> In the natural sciences there is a conceptual tool to make a distinction between discovery and invention: discoveries are embodied in nature while inventions are embodied in artefacts. Notions such as ``reality'' and ``observation'' are used to explain that the instruments--being artefacts--used during experiments lead to valid conclusions that are independent from the actual instruments being used.
>
>
> In the world of software no plausible distinction between invention and discovery seems possible. As we have seen in Section 2.1, dictionaries fail to make a sharp distinction between these words. It is also artificial to split discovery and invention as the results of science versus those of technology. As a consequence, it seems hard to distinguish algorithmic inventions/discoveries--usually considered as scientific discoveries and thus being unpatentable--from other software inventions. This explains why proponents of software patents have a hard time delineating the scope of patentable content. We expect that no reliable distinction can be made.
>
>
> It is commonly considered a good thing that countries maintain groups of public knowledge workers who produce software inventions/discoveries which are published before they can ever be patented. This provides a balancing force against software patenting.
>
>
> Even if the mentioned knowledge workers are classified as scientists and are employed by general universities, that fails to provide any criterion or deeper grounds as to why certain topics in software engineering are being investigated with the purpose of publication in mind rather than that of patenting. It is the phenomenal effectiveness of the scientific mode of operation that justifies the public costs that go with the employment of these software engineering scientists as well as with the facilities that they need for their work. However, each theme within software engineering can be approached in the publication-oriented scientific tradition as well as in a more closed and patent-oriented commercial R & D tradition and both approaches can lead to valid and useful outcomes.

Antisocial personality disorder

> "Among persons who display APD, those called psychopaths are distinguished by a nearly complete inability to form genuine emotional attachments to others; a compensating tendency to form artificial and shallow relationships, which the psychopath cynically exploits or manipulates to benefit himself; a corresponding ability to appear glib and even charming to others; an ability in some psychopaths to maintain the appearance of a normal work and family life; and a tendency to carefully plan criminal activities to avoid detection. Sociopaths, in contrast, are generally capable of developing a close attachment to one or a few individuals or groups, though they too generally have severe difficulties in forming relationships. Sociopaths are also usually incapable of anything even remotely resembling a normal work or family life, and, in comparison to psychopaths, they are exceptionally impulsive and erratic and more prone to rage or violent outbursts. Accordingly, their criminal activities tend to be spur-of-the-moment rather than carefully premeditated."

Magical realism

According to one source1, realism in games is a complex and multifaceted concept that can be applied to different aspects of game design, such as graphics, physics, narrative, and gameplay. Realism can also be contrasted with fantasy or stylization, which create different effects on the player’s immersion and enjoyment.

Another source2 discusses how realism can be combined with magic or supernatural elements to create a genre called magic realism. Magic realism is a form of fiction that blends realistic settings and characters with fantastical or magical events or phenomena. Some examples of games that use magic realism are Life is Strange, Oxenfree, Kentucky Route Zero, and What Remains of Edith Finch.

According to the web, this phrase is part of a quote from **William Shakespeare**, a renowned English poet, playwright, and actor who lived from 1564 to 161612. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist13.

The quote is from his play **A Midsummer Night’s Dream** }.
Respect

> I remember reading this article written about motorcycle clubs and the unwritten rules. The author was a 1% - which means he was a bad guy. Did time in prison - and was proud of it (which is why he was a bad guy). The most of the article was about “respect”. Making sure people don’t disrespect you. If that’s the posture one operates under, than they will ultimately end up in bad situations.

Negative income tax

The pros of a negative income tax (NIT) include providing financial support to low-income groups, already existing welfare plans, providing tax relief to taxpayers, and potentially reducing observed deficiencies within the state redistribution system[1][2][3][4]. The cons include potentially reducing work productivity and being costly[2][5].

Shame

> Ultimately, our values determine our shames. Good values produce good, healthy shame. Bad values produce a self-loathing mess. And as always, our emotions are not the root of our problems, but rather merely the entry points to our solutions.

Right-wing antifascism

> While many historians have devoted themselves to examining the dynamics of fascist movements and regimes, the topic of ‘anti-fascism’ has traditionally been neglected. However, historians and other academics are now starting to take greater interest in the study of those who opposed nationalist and racist extremists, and are developing new approaches to understanding these complex cultures. Some, such as Nigel Copsey, have been concerned with developing sober, empirical accounts, exploring left-wing, centre and even right-wing forms of anti-fascism, presenting it as a heterogeneous politicised identity. Others, such as Mark Bray, have been more concerned with developing unapologetically partisan readings of the past, and write in ways that defend the actions of militant, far-left anti-fascists from the 1930s to the present day. Indeed, beyond academia, a number of those active in the anti-fascist movement have been keen to write their own histories. Accounts like M. Testa’s *Militant Anti-Fascism* (2015), while problematic, can offer a rich sense of the perspectives of those who lived through key episodes in the development of anti-fascist movements.

Self-concept

> Self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about, evaluates, or perceives themselves12. It is an overarching idea we have about who we are—physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and in terms of any other aspects that make up who we are3. Self-concept includes beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person" that are part of an overall self-image4. Self-concept is formed and regulated as we grow, based on the knowledge we have about ourselves, the feedback we receive from others, and the comparisons we make with others3. Self-concept can influence our self-esteem, our motivation, our behavior, and our relationships43.

Inner critic

> I'm answering this question as if it were a question asked by myself when I was a young adult. I am assuming many things since I don't know you but I don't think what I went through was terribly extraordinary. I didn't feel there was another person inside me but I was familiar with a separate voice within my head. My assumption is that you are dealing with something similar.
>
>
> I believe you are suffering from depression most likely. That voice is actively against the normal state of wanting to be alive. The voice is unnatural in that it is anti-existance. As it wishes you to not exist, it will also cease to exist with you. It’s utter and complete bullshit.
>
>
> The voice is a huge liar. It probably has loads of arguments against your worth and value on this planet. It probably never shuts up. You probably even believe it now. It probably runs your life.
>
>
> The good news is, you can shut it up, unarm it, and live a fabulously rich, rewarding, and successful life. The kind of life where you like yourself and aren't demanding perfection anymore.
>
>
> Having serious thoughts of hurting yourself is a huge red flag to find an effective therapist to begin understanding this voice so you can take control back and learn how to love and accept yourself. Through your therapist, you might find that you need the assistance of a psychiatrist and meds for a bit to get your feet on stable ground.

Subcultures & within-group hate crime

> Minority groups are the most common victims of hate crimes; if this were a case of an English person attacking a member of the Amish community because of their minority status, there would be no question about whether or not it was a hate crime. But when the attacks happen within the subculture, we must examine the meaning of group membership. Is membership in a subculture, especially a minority subculture, decided by the members of that community or by the dominant group? Which is it?
>
>
> The answer is, it’s both. Part of the definition of “minority” is involuntary membership. At the same time, there’s nothing that says there can’t be subcultures within subcultures. This happens in nearly every subculture – within the subculture of college students, there are as many subcultures as there are colleges and universities; within the subculture of Christians there are numerous subcultures ranging from Eastern Orthodox to Evangelical.
>
>
>
> Why, then, couldn’t there be subcultures within the Amish subculture? In fact, this is the key point of this case. Samuel Mullet is the leader of a breakaway Amish sect and the hate crimes in this case were carried out in response to religious differences between Mullet’s followers and the more mainstream Amish community. In this particular instance, the differences between those nested subcultures manifested in extreme form. In the end, it turns out that it is possible to hate your own, especially when you don’t see the other members of your subcultural group as “your own”.
