- intentionality is seeming increasingly important to me
- Mark Lippmann has stuff in his protocol about starting & stopping
- Qiaochu > so, the protocol has this notion of willing the “start” of something and willing the “stopping” of something, and a thought that occurred to me is that some of the stuff i do might be “starting” things without ever “stopping” them and wondering if anyone has generic things to say about “stopping” (hmm is this alexander technique?)
- Mark Lippmann > (loosely speaking, I think most people do like 90% starting and 10% stopping, on average, on net, all the time! big imbalance!)
- relates to "nothing to do" meditation
- someone else said > I got example of this kind of thing from a handbook on telekinesis of all places.
- 1. Place your hand on a wall
- 2. Multiply your two favorite two digit numbers in your head
- 3. You probably still have your hand stuck to the wall
- So you start an action of putting your hand against the wall, then you get distracted from that activity, and then you return to it and find that you have been continuing to do this effortful activity the whole time without any continual doing or upkeep
