I support your resolve to quickly distance yourself from undesirable situations.

Tropism said: I'm late to this one but congrats on that. Relationships are two-way streets, you can't force yourself to want that if you do not. Do double-check you aren't inhibited by fear though, regret is a son of a bitch. I don't know you but I can I be proud of you accomplishments? Yes I think I shall.




The variety of good communication styles is interesting, from daily texts to keeping in touch, they've been good experiences so far, and I am still learning, experiencing, and growing in my solo Poly lifestyle.

Sometimes plans change, so make many and stick to one from time to time. Prioritise yourself too.

I'm learning to know what I want and comfortably let it be known to those around me.

It's weird too, how as I'm writing this it's like I'm compressing hundreds of hours of lived and loved experiences.

This is just a stencil of my experiences I'm trying to learn from, to help me to understand and accept new lessons in life.

I sometimes make the same mistakes a hundred times before I become better at something, but being aware of the judgements I've made has helped me to learn from them in a congruent way that has paid benefit to my every day living.

This included weight loss, flirting, musical interest, artistic creativity, and adventure.

I've been so fucking high so many times I feel like I've lived, I don't have much left to seek out more experiences with.

Unless it's going to be just insane acid and television.

It's all just mysterious now. You can learn to see it that way.

Might write some fiction, but I'm too socially arrested to write good dialogue LOL.

Perhaps ignorance is bliss but the blind journey to enlightenment sucks, it takes a while to come to terms when you get there, but you'll need to shed the mystery for curiosity to find it.

In a sense the more a person knows the more one knows they don't know. Think of it like a bubble. The interior of the bubble is knowledge. The surface area and beyond is the unknown. As the bubble of knowledge grows so does the surface area.

then it bursts as the surface tensions fail and the pressure never subsides

(not my vision of the future, but hey, maybe you're right)

If one notices how the surface tension changes, and how to blow new bubbles, they might be on to something.

I'll try.

I wrote a speech and thought some might like to hear or read it.

Because if I were to give a speech today I would say,
Quote:

"As I stand before you to share my journey and insights, I am deeply humbled by this incredible honor, and I wish to convey my gratitude to all who have supported and inspired me along the way.

My work reflects the idea that we, as individuals, have the remarkable capacity to consciously design reward systems that empower us to pursue specific personal goals and enhance our own lives. In this endeavor, I have witnessed the transformative power of motivation and determination, as well as the profound impact of rewards on human behavior.

The environment we immerse ourselves in is a potent force, one that can shape our actions by providing triggers and cues that drive us towards particular behaviors. This recognition has led me to appreciate the intricate interplay between our surroundings and our aspirations.

In the pursuit of our goals, it is crucial to remain acutely aware of the multifaceted nature of motivation and reinforcement. It is this awareness that has allowed me to navigate the complex landscape of personal growth and achievement.

My journey has reinforced the importance of personal responsibility. I have come to understand that success is not merely a product of circumstance but a result of deliberate choices. Daily reflection on my experiences has been an essential aspect of modeling and optimizing my own reward systems, ensuring that they align with my values and aspirations.

The path to self-improvement often demands personal independence and unwavering commitment. The considerable effort I have exerted in striving for my goals underscores the dedication and determination that can be required in modeling reward systems to achieve greatness.

While my primary focus has been on self-improvement and the pursuit of personal goals, I have also come to appreciate the significance of interactions with others and the intellectual attraction that can drive collaborative endeavors. It is through these interactions that I have found valuable insights and shared experiences.

Furthermore, I have learned that the physical and experiential aspects of my pursuits are integral to the rewards I derive from them. These experiences have added depth and richness to my journey, enriching the tapestry of my life.

In closing, my work and experiences serve as a testament to how individuals can apply the principles of reward modeling to different facets of their lives, thereby igniting motivation and propelling us towards our desired outcomes. Moreover, my emphasis on self-reflection and personal responsibility aligns with the broader discussions of ethics and values in reward systems modeling.

I share this recognition with all those who have walked this path with me, and I am deeply honored to be a part of the collective effort to explore and harness the potential of human motivation and reward.

Thank you."




I believe I have successfully modelled a reward system and for some reason that is meaningful to me so I engage with it. To success, failure, learning and silver linings the lot.

It means something to me to have the experiences I have had, and I imagine it would feel nice to some day share that experience with someone else, at least at the level of an understanding, but my personal views on the world are straight forward and resolute to me. I at the very least understand how to model my own reward systems as well as I am aware of how to model my physique and increase muscle tone. Or to lose 12kg in under a year.

As I interpret it, how to harness a model of consciousness.

A testament to your application of understanding, which IMO is a spiritual act.

Yours is also an applied or functional knowledge sharing.

In general I have been cautious to use the less passionate terms "interest" and "activity" as study areas that can influence the path of ongoing consciousness.

Your observations of "motivation" and "reward" can reasonably lead to cultivation of the dopamine and HPA systems, and that can be very instrumental in making one's life better.

great job!

thinking of the bubble just as growing rationally, as you state the two parts in relation to one another as an inside/outside dynamic is constraining and fails to acknowledge what is now.

the sphere expanding outwards, and the sphere contracting inwards meet and merge, dynamically forming a bridge where inside and outside are not distinguised.  here, awareness, where zero is infinity and where nothing is everything.

through this simple awareness, the Absolute can be known.

now, where no man has gone before!
