Spiritual Bypassing isn't the real problem. The real problem? People want it that way.

30 years of meditation is boring. A 30-day "transformation" feels good. So we pay gurus to sell us identity – not insight.

Meanwhile, attention spans dropped to 8 seconds. Goldfish: 9 seconds. We lose.

The Bullshit Mountain is where you feel enlightened without doing the work. The valley below? Slow, real learning. No likes. No shortcuts.

Just a book. A mat. Years.

Step off the mountain. Walk through the dark valley. Learn slowly. Smile.

Not because it's easy. But because you finally started.

I spent the whole day working on my long abused and neglected Jeep Scrambler, but I did take a break for a root canal.
(I have neither abused nor neglected it, but in the past 43 years it has suffered much).
Yay Team #SunkCostFallacy

Sammeln und Komplettieren – Podcast E128

Achievement-Hunting, Komplettieren, Platinieren: Ist so ein Sammelwahn eigentlich normal oder schon pathologisch? Wir haben uns auf Social Media umgehört, wie verbreitet Komplettionismus unter Spielerinnen und Spielern eigentlich ist – und warum manche Menschen ihre Spiele gern vervollständigen.

The Albanese government is leaning heavily into the sunk cost fallacy, as disclosed in this article.

The old world order is crumbling, tying Australia’s future to the declining American empire is becoming increasingly more perilous.

America has shown it has no regard for allies. Australia is at greater risk of damage from the USA than China.

(Why would China want to imperil the supply of raw materials Australia sells them at bargain basement prices? While our US ‘ally’ has clearly stated its goal of decreasing imports and has exerted its antipathy towards Australia on numerous occasions-The Dismissal, Medicare, PBS, etc)

From the article.

Reuss-Smit believes the Australian government is reluctant to step out of line with the US, partly due to fears it could impact the AUKUS agreement.

"Laws don't crumble when someone violates them, they crumble when somebody won't stand up for them."

Australia needs to stand up!

The war in the Middle East has signalled changes to the international order, with some saying the system is in "severe crisis".

But is the initial Magic Eraser necessary, you ask? Fortunately, I ordered another #ThinkPad #X270 to figure this out 😇

#Sunkcostfallacy ~ some relationships are not worth working on. No matter how much has been invested previously. Turn around and walk away. In all likelihood, it will eventually contribute to your peace of mind.

Just bought a #thinkpad X250 to cross-check compatibility and debug. Don't tell me about the #sunkcostfallacy 😅 You can never have enough ThinkPads.

@ChrisMayLA6

No, absolutely not. We must honor the #SunkCostFallacy approach to cost overruns and repeated delays.

Otherwise, we might embarrass the politicians and corporate management that advocated so powerfully and successfully for these ill-advised projects.

@tastapod No. Nonononono.
What I am trying (and obviously failing) to say is that the team has already chosen not to change the name, even though some members seemed to think it was a good idea, because over 3 years ago they thought "The more time that passes with the Jujutsu name, the more likely it is that we'll keep it", because "there is plenty of third-party writing about it. It would be a shame to lose that connection while the underlying model is the same." - i.e. #SunkCostFallacy
I made no judgement on their choice of candidate for the name change, merely pointed out that the conversation and decision about renaming had already happened.
