(yunolv3) just posted — 04/13/2024 6:12 AM The new book by the author of a philosophical work on the era of smartphones [https://amzn.asia/d/91lEt7h (also a great read)] caught my attention because it was too good. I want to share it. They articulate everything I want to say, which is really helpful.
This discussion about rails reminded me of:
- Can we identify innovative talents in advance?
- “Going against the grain” is essentially bound by existing values.
I believe there is happiness in acting on impulse (pre-reading thoughts). Like when you come up with an idea and then get absorbed in writing on Scrapbox or diving into implementation.
I am curious about what “impulse” really is:
- Negative Theology
- There are aspects that cannot be explained by intrinsic motivation, and that is impulse.
- Intrinsic motivation can be weighed, but impulse seems to defy weighing altogether.
- It is not born from external or others’ perspectives.
- It reminds me of Mimesis Desire.
It is important to identify biases, abstract them, and articulate them, I agree (blu3mo).
- At the same time, I think it is crucial to exclude others’ desires from that process, avoid fixation, and not be bound by what has been articulated once (blu3mo).
- I’ve thought about various things around this:
- After reading further, I realized this book was saying pretty much the same thing.
I agree that Individuality is important.
- However, if we start talking about that, wouldn’t we lose the ability to discuss design principles and offer general advice?
- Does this overlap with the challenges Mr. Hatanaka is facing? (blu3mo)(blu3mo)
