@quotidiania @the_wilderless Yes - here's a link to his essay.



One of the things that's interesting to me is - he identifies the dysfunctional coping style (melancholy) with narcissism.

melancholy happens, when a person makes their losses ALL ABOUT THEM...sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-l…
@quotidiania @the_wilderless 2/ this paragraph right here: (the "melancholic", or, we could say, the "dysfunctional coper", fails, because he is making it all about HIM - which is to say, he falsely assumes that HE can "fix it all" with his intellect or his effort somehow, instead of simply feeling the loss) text from Freud's essay The essential thing, therefore, is not whether the melancholic's distressing self-denigration is correct, in the sense that his self-criticism agrees with the opinion of other people. The point must rather be that he is giving a correct description of his psychological situation. He has lost his self-respect and he must have good reason for this. It is true that we are then faced with a contradiction that presents a problem which is hard to solve. The analogy with mourning led us to conclude that he had suffered a loss in regard to an object; what he tells us points...
@quotidiania @the_wilderless 3/ his delusional coping style comes about, because he has a poverty-mindset - his reaction to loss is to become more "grasping" Image

The absolute beauty of going for a run in the dark predawn fog, and meeting other runners on the paths

I ♥️ humans

Their crazy accidental fellowships, most of all.

Ok, I log off now, bye y'all, have pleasant day
2/n ok tho I'll stop for a photo

because this is hauntingly beautiful to me.

The lights on the building are there to warn low planes or, more likely, helicopters

They are a 21st century kind of lighthouse

They are, also, the arc of a flock of birds in flight, very apropos Image
3/n and another ...

Same building, seen from across the Lake, in the dawn, from the Cleveland Steps Image

1/n Ok I'll bite.

A thread about the "note taking wars", + why famous s$%-p#$ter Tiag@ F@rte does not have a clue what he is talking about

@obsdmd is a gorgeous, well executed product with a fantastic community behind it. Yay!

♥️🚀 ♥️

... but it is *not* a "roam-like".
2/n block referencing and outlining, as implemented by @RoamResearch, are WAY more than just check-boxes to tick, in some arbitrary feature-comparison list.

They are *core* features of the product.

... CORE features that cannot be tacked on, if they're not in the product-DNA.
3/n Yet, it takes time to see this.

... when I first started using Roam, I was so conditioned by the Wikipedia model of backlinked pages, I couldn't 1st see that the true revolution, is at a deeper level.

Thinking in blocks means *atomizing thoughts*.

Atomized thoughts-->

1/n I'm beyond thrilled to announce that @RaygunIcecream has asked me to lead one of the books for #RoamBookClub3 along with @beauhaan;

Your team is currently hard at work designing what we believe will be an extraordinary 6 week learning experience for our beloved #roamcult -->
2/n There will be 2 groups working side by side - Beau will lead a discussion of Ahrens' "How to Take Smart Notes" and I'll lead, for returning members, "The Culture Code" by Dan Coyle.

My group will have a limited number of spots. Beau's group will not be size-limited.
3/n if you are unable to join the Coyle group (enrollment has to be capped, sorry) don't worry; you can still follow along; my plan is to live tweet + carry our discussion out to Twitter

Furthermore, the plan is to bring you more "episodes".

This is just the beginning!

Hear me out, what if looking *really carefully* at the past can accomplish more than fantasizing about the future;

I think this year, I am going to focus on new-years RE-solutions, which will entirely be RE-implementing all the solutions I've already used, to make life awesomer.
2/ "I am at the confluence of past and future; melding these streams creatively is what makes life itself feel alive"

... is (I think) a paraphrase of Henri Bergson, of whose work I have not yet read enough...
3/ can't believe that I somehow failed to tag @calhistorian into a tweet thread rethinking the relationship between past and future ...

1/n I love this thread, was just thinking about this myself ...

Kid up, inside, happily opening the presents that I wrapped...

Stepped out, because sunrise was UNBELIEVABLE, a rich purple orange ...

But-->
2/ was MOST amazing was not the palette + the rich hues of the sunlight cascading upwards from beneath the horizon,

No

The most amazing part was taking a moment to see how softly the clouds were scudding across it all.

The seeming delicacy of this, belying the enormous -->
3/...power of wind, water, heat, majesty of sunlight from ninety three million miles away lifting water and then causing it to slide gently across the sky in one of many convection currents that slide in + out forming a gently drifting cloud

Sheer awe, that all this just IS -->
