Words make us question entrenched beliefs and assumptions. Words help change our focus and help alter perceptions which, in turn, open us up to more helpful ideas regarding support and solutions.

Neuroplasticity

“Neurons that fire together, wire together.”

This is an example of 2 nerve cells, living outside of a body, wiring (connecting, communicating) with each other.

This innate activity is important since this event happens thousands of times per day, in our brains and spinal cords, as we grow in the womb and as infants.

Fortunately, as adults, we have this neuroplastic ability to connection (and disconnection) our neurons as we go about: acting, practicing, learning, experiencing, and thinking.

IT TAKES A MINISCULE MINORITY, 3%-4% OF A POPULATION, WHO IS INTRANSIGENT THEMSELVES, IN ORDER TO CHANGE A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE’S OPINIONS.

The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dictatorship of the Small Minority https://nassimtaleb.org/tag/minority-rule/

Unlike a democracy, where people vote, it does not take a majority or supermajority to legally make a change. Changing the conversation or someone’s mind has much lower requirements.

My text to a young friend about how so many of us end up trapped in the tyranny of work, by…

making enough money just to keep us working, but too busy to lift up our heads to see what’s happening around us, what is happening to us, or where we’re going.

Our children are “on loan” to us parents (and to other adults) so that we can teach, protect, and provide for them until they’re able to take over these responsibilities.

It’s a common assumption, and a misconception, that if we adults donate to our children so much of our lives…our love, time, energy, and money, that we somehow “own” more of our kids, or we have dibs on what they will eventually produce. We do not.

Some of us even will assume that our children owe us something in return, for what we have given, and for what we have given up for them. They do not.

At our best, we adults give willingly, with the hope that our children will have gratitude and appreciation for the adults who supported them. We hope that our children have a desire to remember us by compounding our gifts, “paying it forward”, treating others, including their own children, as well as we have treated them.

Once our kids are old enough to hit the ground walking and running, we parents are relegated to corralling and herding for the rest of our lives.

We are educated and trained to be right.
We practice this, and we get good at it.
This why it’s so hard for us to accept any situation when we’re told that we are wrong.

We are running helter skelter toward fantastic opportunities with artificial intelligence. I have stopped looking at future potentials, as well as future hazards, with yesterday’s mind.

Absolutely, humans can and will adapt… it’s just that many humans cannot adapt fast enough.
This is where organizations, governments and societies step in to support and protect the most vulnerable.

I, for one, am very fortunate that I do not need any such support or protection.
I suspect that many of you see yourselves the same way too.
