Hold That Thought

Some thoughts I wanted to get down before they escape.

About my stuff and my relationship to it

• Is it greed?
• Motivations for acquiring, keeping
  • For a rainy day
  • Hoarding
  • Collecting
  • Store of wealth

Re-organizing this site has been quite the chore

Finding hooks to hang the bits on, and mounting the hooks on a framework has not been easy.

• Site in constant flux as I learn how to do this
  • Use search function to find stuff

It occurs to me that a surprising fraction of my thought processes involve social angst

• Why have we made a mess (as a species)?
• Why have I made such a mess (as an individual)?
  • Cultural survival within
  • Classify motivations by cultural and genetic motivations
    • Motivations described in literature culturally biased, not genetically biased
    • Descartes 1638? Discourse on Method "I think, therefore I am"
  • Social dis-ease
    • Why/how am I so different from my fellow travelers?
    • My receptive language is much more developed than my expressive language
    • Clippings.AlexCanThink
    • Read some of Dr Vamik Volkan's work on conflict prevention
      • Start here

GTD

• Consider "hold that thought" as part of GTD?

Writing odds & ends here is about:

• Learning to write
• "Expressive language''
• My "use it or lose it language problem
• Learning to think
