I find that many people can learn a lot by doing but then at some point hit a wall and really struggle to recognize that another kind of learning needs to take place to understand a deeper concept.

I think he discovered cultural history. Also uses the word "excavating", maybe he read a bit of Foucault.

Can you give some more details on what you consider culture and what kind of books you read to that end?

Looking for something external, trick, app or whatever, and generally relying on science for concentration is conceptually the wrong approach.

Your diffuculties arise from the way you talk about the problem. You ask how you can be sure that a person can change their identity? Your question already presents a mechanism that naturally doesn't work. What is implicit in what you&

Those are mostly either heavily marketed recent books or some very popular books considered "classics" that sort of circulate as representing some field (which they mostly really don't). If I had made a similar (probably much

That is mostly my point. What conclusion can you actually make about any other society, current or historical, on the basis of "our practical problems being mostly solved by technology"? I think the danger in this focus on technol

One follow up question you might want to be asking is why you thought that in the first place and what it has to do with current societal views.

That is unfortunately the case with me and it took me several years to start realizing that prolonged stress can result in this cascading effect where muscles tightening can distort your body slightly. This in turn can put strain on muscles

I think interpreting the intention of the author and the students should take into account that the author's research is in human-computer interaction and that the students most likely are aware of that fact as well.

What it 'really is' is mostly a construction, an amalgam of perceptions that are usually descriptions of observers of what other people seem to do when they find things out or how they've got to discovering something. What yo

I think framing issues with learning and understanding a skill and what it requires from you as a 'trick' is very detrimental.

What I'm arguing about is that there is a big assumption made prior to any judgement about models of any kind. At any given point all you have is your singular experiential point of view -- you're reading this comment, coding, che

No, 'things outside' are only known to us as mediated through (what we perceive as) the body. The object of which you estimate your degree of belief lies within our experience. There is no sense in which you can say that you know

Is there any meaningful way for you or anyone else to claim anything exists outside of their experience?

I think it's a strange idea to talk about 'evolving consciousness.' As if matter somehow manufactured being out of an absence of being.

Consciousness is all of your inner experience. It's not about control or perception, that is it's not about what you can control and how you perceive things but that you can control and perceive things. I don't think there is

I think a very important step is acknowledging that the person standing in front of you has the capacity to feel whatever negative or positive emotion that you can feel. (That is regardless of whether you can quote research to the contrary.

It's great to see this kind of anthropological approach to money. It has been difficult to find a coherent way to talk about it.

I don't have a specific question but I would be interested in reading any books on Bell Labs' culture at the time if he or you are aware of any.

If you want to be serious about math you should get a feel for what mathematics means to mathematicians. A common view is that mathematicians prove theorems. While true, a skill that is not emphasized enough is learning (by heart) and under

Oliver Sacks' 'The man who mistook his wife for a hat' made me think how much of what I assume is inseparable to my internal experience is really something I take for granted. I haven't finished it but Foucault's &#
