I will now present an exercise which rapidly becomes reflexive, in a manner which will cause it to become reflexive, which separates the exercise from the situation so that you can learn the requisite acting skills separately!
I don’t follow at all how the writing exercises help me ask “what’s in it for [what I care about]?” in deciding what to pay attention to. They seem like fine exercises, but other than the fact that you’re choosing a topic, I see no relation.
I remember GEB being entertaining but not mind-blowing. I’d already studied mathematical logic, though.
I don’t understand what you mean by ‘how the writing exercises help me ask “what’s in it for [what i care about]?” in deciding what to pay attention to.’
Simplify to “what’s in it for me”. Sorry for the over-elaboration. Since you’re the author, it’s not surprising that you don’t understand the source of my confusion. This quote from your post may help:
Ask yourself for new people , situations, arguments, and facts, what is this worth to me? What risks do I run by paying attention to this?
That’s what I was expecting the exercises to develop—the ability to focus attention where there’s advantage.
skeptical sir or madam :)
