And people seek to maximize stimulation within their limits of sensation perception cognition and opportunity identification. This is why some folks seek ‘base’ novelties, and some folks seek ‘sophisticated’ novelties. And it’s even why some seek regularities, preventing failure. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1461692191793897483

So because we like the internal lights on, providing us with a greater breadth of auto-associations, in turn, we’re provided with a greater breadth of opportunities, providing the ‘high’ of the sense of plenty. So this is why people seek to maximize stimulation w/in their limits. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1461691493522063365

Now, one of the reasons I’m so emphatic about teaching how the brain works(it’s simple) is to help us understand the spectrum of human social behaviors, and how they’re reflections of neural economics(neural quality). “We like the internal lights on just as much as the external.” https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1461690950481235974

WORK TOPIC: I’ve been trying to clearly articulate the relationship between cycles in the neural economy, novelty-seeking within it, attention-seeking, self-‘busying’, responsibility, and mindfulness. In particular, the problem the simple folk have with self-busying vs attention.

Sort of. On one hand it’s discovering and stating our human nature,. On the other it’s not FIXING THE DAMN PROBLEM, it’s making it worse. So in that sense, yes it’s a bit like feminism for dudes.

It’s just depressing all the way around.

The only observation I have is that the manosphere has done more social science in the past fifteen to twenty years than the social scientists in the past 100.

Which falsifies the value of the academy and all social science research.

Um. You know, ‘high-quality women’ don’t wear much makeup at all. They don’t have to. Just mascara maybe.
I’m stuck watching these manosphere videos, and all the women are bottom feeders. And working class men(or women) think they’re high quality? Ick. Gross.

Imagine you are calm and relaxed, have no worries at all, say, reading, or doing something you enjoy, and nothing interrupts your thoughts, and if something does, you think about it and decide how to feel about it rather than the other way around: agency.

Article attempts to load and frame the concept. I’m constructing from first principles. Ergo, separating the biological motivation (cause) from the learned response (adaptation).

So yes I understand. But my job is disambiguation into first causes and falsification from them.
