RE: The Split Personality of Steemit
@gavvet wonderful writing style. I love how your sentences flow!
Your wild horse analogy reminds me of Jonathan Haidt's metaphor of a rider on the back of an elephant. The rider is able to guide the elephant to the left, to the right, to halt or go forward. He can lead the elephant but only when the elephant doesn’t have desires of its own.
Haidt describes the rider as the conscious, the controlled thought and the elephant as everything else. Its the gut feeling, the visceral reaction, the emotion and intuition.
I agree the elephant is a great analogy
haha is giving yourself an upvote also a pro hack? ;)
well spotted, it is.
@gavvet couldn't resist to share the post and analogy in this article: https://steemit.com/life/@timdierckxsens/how-to-change-by-obeying-the-forces-you-want-to-command
this inspiring. I agree, the comunity needs to resist the temptation to click boobs and hot girls
we need to resist our own nature to click hype content
instead if we choose to only vote on SMART content that is actually helpul to us all - word that will change the world! Steemit not trained will fail - trained, not only will it succeed, it will change the world!
Thank you for posting. Hope you get ever more to snowball to the top!
I up-voted you too... BTW, should steemit let us steemers advertise using steem? Be sure to tell everyone you know to come vote here at: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kingtylervvs/if-steemit-ever-does-decide-to-advertise-there-is-only-1-way-it-could-work-in-my-opinion-debate
This is a democratic community decision.
