- Gary Klein's book Sources of Power, re decision-making
- connects to both to brain hemispheres / McGilchrist's brain hemisphere model and to Coherence Therapy & Unlocking the Emotional Brain
- it basically describes the functional application of the very same rapid-response brain systems that cause trauma flashbacks / dream mashups
- a review by Mark Wieczorek notes:
- "It doesn't try to tell you how to make decisions, it simply describes how they are made."
- but I don't wanna - a structure of ~procrastination that comes from feeling like "I shouldn't have to do this" and hoping that someone else will come along and deal with it, even if that's entirely unrealistic
- pep talk thing
- one kind of support is like, helping someone untangle some internal conflict around a thing
- another is more like...
- creating an encouraging, enthusiastic narrative around doing a particular thing
- someone might never work out on their own, and have a lot of work to do to untangle that, but might literally just always say yes if someone is like "yo, I'm gonna {work out, shoot some hoops, go for a run} wanna join?"
- and like, that legit just can work in the meantime
- or hype man at the gym, who's like "come on, you got this!"
- oh damn, listening to Jim Rutt Show w the SimPol guy (John Bunzl) and I'm struck by the resonances between SimPol & NNTD
- the whole thing where there's no regulator at international scales
- this is also true of interpersonal relationships, which aren't bound by a clear regulator of rules!
- and there's kind of a correspondence between the H2/powerunder/CPTSD/GameA social dynamics and the Destructive Global Capitalism thing Bunzl talks about
- multiple dimensions of tradeoffs so there isn't just winners & losers but able to balance it all out & incorporate different dimensions
- and there's a kind of fractal buy-in thing going on, although it's not actually full-fractal buy-in per se? more like Converting Moloch from Sith to Jedi
