Desperation is when ignore obvious intuitions. That’s what makes so dangerous. https://t.co/LQHyG7nMUY

@liminal_warmth It feels strange you should have to say this, but then there’s other obvious stuff I’ve found useful. I suppose the biggest danger is desperation. When we feel tight—desperate—is when there is most cause for fear. That’s when “obvious” things can get most ignored.

If you’re wondering how disasters happen, this is one reason why. People are so intent on making this one thing happen that obvious red flags don’t get explored.

visual: employees rushing about their desk, trying to hit a performance target, with a vague sense of something’s off that they don’t explore

that sense of “slight offness” is sooo easy to ignore it’s inconvenient, we have our minds on another thing it bites us in the arse

it's a very subtle & precise mental move too if you’re careful, while meditating, you can catch it immediately then it will try to make you sleepy or distracted or something else

what’s going is a part that is feeling scarcity is trying to sneak something past you needless to say, this is bad mental architecture design https://t.co/HLn6YNv4Fd

it’s feeling scarcity, because you really are feeling scarcity about something. something doesn’t feel enough. something bad will happen if we don't accomplish this—we MUST have this we can’t imagine our lives so much without it (this is the mini-death) https://t.co/GUKbbusTJN

The core fear we have is going asleep and not waking back up. Of the mini-death.

you have to sort of sideways acknowledge that part and confirm at it—that it can continue doing whatever it wants to, because otherwise, it would sneak past you anyway https://t.co/UFSnNrXC0a

all this is usually accompanied by a signature feeling of urgency https://t.co/e5RHl6rwq9

sometimes i feel really overwhelmed, and think about what @jessicamalonso says — “is the worst part about this situation how it feels right now?”
