@mark57g it seems like it's easier than we're making it out to be. be nice to each other, listen actively, be authentic and vulnerable, etc.

On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced one of the greatest disasters in history; a 9.0 earthquake followed by massive tsunamis. Thousands perished, many more lost their homes. Across Eastern Japan, infrastructure was laid to ruin, and the threat of nuclear disaster lingered for months. The lack of basic life services and sufficient energy caused grave concern for the future amongst the Japanese people. To alleviate the fear following the disaster, and to better prepare ourselves for the future, we designed an entirely new way of living – one that is in harmony with nature and technology. Collaborating with architects, technologists and other experts, we developed a completely self-sufficient house and living style, in which people can generate, control and consume energy without depending on external energy sources. We named our off-grid residence “MIRAI NIHON (the future of Japan)” and became the first advertising agency to offer a residential environment as a product

1/3 Research shows that expectancy removes dopamine. To get strongest response for motivation for learning need to make it unpredictable.




thank you Sheryl..
your above tweet caught my eye.. very much believe in swimming in uncertainty - if we want what's best for healthy lives..




the following tweets.. got me detoxing myself (reflecting) on competition.
not fond of competition... believe we have a hard time steering clear of ego - so have loved the old - only competing against yourself.
in fact a lot of our talk about.. away from standardized tests and into self-assessment came from that thinking.


but after your tweet today - it really dawned on me (true or not true - but in my head) that even competing against myself isn't the healthiest route.
i know physically, if i sign up for a marathon or masters swimming... i will kabosh the restorative niche i have created in my ritualistic swim and run, and i won't be as mentally healthy as i can be. i know for myself, i would let competition set in.
so - how much as well - for daily whatevers. 
how much freer are we to be - when it isn't about winning or losing... the winning is simply in the doing/being.


so yeah.. having a hard time seeing competition as beneficial...even if it did give us more dopamine.. at this point - i'd say perhaps an unnatural self-induced drug. compromising even in the smallest way - my (your) potential

Sheryl NussbaumBeach ‏@snbeach

And it makes me wonder... does competition create 50/50 chance of winning and therefore encourage dopamine production?
