Hi! Can I message you about your thoughts on feedback loops and their role/how they are used in personality development? Complex systems/feedback mechanisms are a piece of my research and I’d love to talk more about how you guys are trying to use/teach them in your practice.
I think those individuals who hold to the Spider-Man philosophy are kidding themselves. Even Spider-Man had to work hard to build his skills. He got bit by the radioactive spider, yes, but that is not the end of his story. He didn’t just bit by the spider and then spend all his time sitting on his butt on the couch and stuffing his face with pizza rolls while watching Netflix all day. He had to work to build his craft of saving his city. He built his web-slingers. He worked on his fighting techniques. He got accustomed to heights and even began to love them. He became the ultimate acrobat, as well as becoming an excellent physical specimen. This idea of, "I got bit by a spider, and now I’m amazing is crap. Anything and everything that is worth doing takes WORK. End of story.
Yeah, Izzy’s comment was a good one.

Hello :-)
I loved your thoughts around Fe users finding it challenging to do something for themselves, I most definately am motivated by and for others. I do also relate to needing/wanting inspiration though, but maybe for different reasons than an Fi user. The more I allow myself to care and feel for someone or a group of people, the more inspired I am to keep challenging myself. If I am surrounded by people that do not feel the urge to push the limits of what the mind/body/soul in capable of, life starts to become colourless and flat.
A couple of years ago I got that bored of the sameness of the minds around me, I thought I would start to explore animal minds:-)
I found a book called “Other Minds”. It had a section in it on the Mimic Octopus….. they are so weird!!
Their brain is located throughout their whole body, the only solid part of them is their beak, so they can squeeze themselves through impossibly small spaces so long as their beak can fit (and they’re pretty smart).
I use the mimic octopus as a metaphor for the way I explore minds and the world (especially when trying something new). My core self is the beak, and the rest of my personality remains more fluid and adaptable (like the octopuses body) to trying on new ways of being/feeling/thinking, while I decide if I like them or not. If I have tried on a new way of being and I made an utter idiot of myself or my feelings got hurt, I keep a couple of tentacles attached to a cherished feeling/memory or person while the rest of the tentacles go in and explore and process the meaning behind the feelings before I let them go. Using this method helps me to not get lost in a negative or uncomfortable experience.
Animal minds are awesome too!
Anyway, I hope quarantine isn’t treating you all too harshly.
Best Wishes
What an insightful comment! I appreciate your thoughts.
