RE: Psychology Addict # 37 | What Do you Do When Things go Wrong?
Good of you to make it!
😂😂
(this will now be my intro to your every post, until further notice!)
In his book The rise and fall of the third chimpanzee J. Diamond discusses the fact that despite self-destructive behaviour being a trait seen in the evolutionary time scale, it has only developed recently.
I don't know for sure, but I would put money on it that the self destructive increase is correlating very closely to the rise in material opulence.
(by opulence, I mean 'more than you need'...as in enough food and somewhere to stay..).
The luxury (or curse) of enough time to dwell is only available to us, because we don't need that time to actually survive..
Personally, I try to use that negative energy. Do something.... but if it manifests itself in lethargy, I try to look at my own lethargy - and then I get angry at my own self indulgence..., (and then back to stage one..)
What Do you Do When Things go Wrong?
Very, very good question right now.
For me I am at this stage...
1)whaaaaa?
2)aghhhhh
3)bugger
I won't link on your post, but just posted my own. 9 hours of video editing work crashed on me!
(and no I didn't 'save', before you say it)
Ohhhhhhhh .... SO SORRY 😧 How frustrating!
Please don't tell me that was the video on Reg's arrival!! I checked on 'stooped' Dave yesterday. He also makes me laugh. I love them all. The 'wise' lot (not)!
I like the observation you made here very much
I believe our reward system (dopaminergic pathways) doesn't help us much with this. Particularly when paired with the values promoted by our current society!
PS: By the way, that last Johnathan Pie's video you shared is just incredible. Until then, my favorite of his was the one he shared after the Grenfel Tower calamity. But that last one was ... ohhhh ... he said it all!
Ok, I won't.....
....I've changed my mind.... Yes it was!.....and a LOT more than that besides...!
I Had three vids on the same timeline, to split when I'd finished.
..It will be worth the wait though - you are in for a surprise... or two...
I just couldn't bring myself to start it all over again today( my head hurts learning this new toy, as it is) without the soul crushing waste of 9 hours!
Soul crushing?...maybe a little too dramatic, but you get the idea..
I'll crack on tomorrow though...It's really nice being back in touch with 'the wise ones' again...
I totally agree with you, which is interesting... I am the poster boy for all the 'wrongs' you are talking about!
...'Do as i say, not as I do', kind of thing...'
😂😂
That Pie video was a brilliant one!
