Loved finding a woman in Manhattan who would say "we will contin-yuh the study for another couple weeks."

the science and cuteness of imagination

David Brooks on imagination: "as it's sometimes called, double-scope integration. In any case, Harold [the 4-yr old case study for mind development], in the space of five minutes could be a tiger, his mom, a storm, or a building. For about seven months he was persuaded that he was a sun creature born on the sun. His parents tried to get him to confess he was actually an Earth creature born in a hospital, but he would grow quite grave and refuse to concede the point. They actually began to wonder if they'd given birth to some delusional psychotic" - the social animal p61
LOL.

Please take time to tell me your story

Please take the time to tell me your story. Please when I ask you a question, realize I don't expect a summary answer. Tell me a story. Tell me what the question means or doesn't mean to you. Tell me how you interpret the question. Don't respond to the question how you see it through my eyes. Tell me what you see through your eyes and why. Tell me what you see, what you think you see, your skepticism, and your intuitions, and your skepticism about your intuition, and your intuition about your skepticism. When a word comes to mind, tell me what that word means to you. Your response can't be too long, and if you don't want to answer, just say so, or in some way feel free to let me know.


When I say something, call me out on what I say wrong. Call me out on my ambiguities. on my blindness on my self-orientation, let me know when you don't understand what I'm saying or think I'm not saying something relevant to you. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings, (but do attack me gently, please.)
