đź‘‹ Oi, mga repapips, Brian Dys here! I love music, photography, and creative stuff like UX design and art. This is a place where I collect my thoughts and works. Apart all these, I’m Jaycelle’s better half and Bryce’s dad. 🥰
Hewson also proposed that power is a critical component of self-agency. Power, in this case, means that a person has the resources, capabilities, and knowledge to act on their goals.
What is striking is not the machine’s humanness, but the lengths we are forced to go to become compatible with the machine.
Same Old
If you talk to mental health experts on college campuses, they’ll tell you that along with the rise of ubiquitous smartphone use and social media use among the students on the campus, came an explosion of anxiety-related disorders on those campuses. That’s the canary in the coal mine.
Why you should quit social media
Infants learn how to interact with their surroundings and discover ways to change their environments from their caregivers, and children learn to regulate their behaviors from observing their parents and caregivers.
High agency: how to feel more in control in your life and work
The lack of language affects even functions that do not seem to be intrinsically “linguistic,” such as math. Developmental research shows that keeping track of exact numbers above four requires knowing the words for these numbers.
Language Is the Scaffold of the Mind
And one of the things that is my little reminder to myself is that when I feel like I need more grit, what I actually need is more help. And when I look at Amelia’s life, and I think, “She needs more discipline, she needs more perseverance, she needs to work harder,” what she actually needs is more kindness. That’s the baseline culture change that’s going to end burnout forever.
The way Goldstein describes it, non-attachment is about not holding on to anything that happens in life, whether those are experiences, events, or thoughts. That’s the difference with detachment, which means you pull away from something. Applying this concept in your life will have a huge difference in the way you live.
Detachment vs Non-attachment: Eastern Wisdom for Inner Peace
Never view falling as failure. See the truth of it as I did. Falling down is a necessary part of trial and error in motion. Observe the newborn attempting to walk or the young gymnast attempting to tumble. They succeed or learn. Win-Win!
And you surround yourself with a bubble of love, other teachers who can support you and tell you, “Yes, you deserve care. You are a valuable, educated, wonderful human being. You are not just, you know, Darth Vader dealing with these kids. You are a valuable person who deserves resources, who deserves care, who deserves love, who deserves freedom to oscillate.”
We can help remote workers get on top of their workloads and mitigate work-life balance conflicts by moving away from hyper-responsiveness and real-time communication towards greater asynchronous communication — the type that truly gives people the freedom to decide when and where to work.
The research might also help us to avoid accidental faux pas when we act altruistically ourselves. At the very least, the research shows that you should avoid noisily broadcasting your good deeds. “And if people bring them up, you should downplay them,” says Raihani. Even if you think that you are simply sharing a bit of uplifting news about a cause that you care about, you should err on the side of modesty.
Reputation is the aggregation of ideas that have swarmed your body. Reputation is a list of your chronic afflictions.
As Raihani points out, we are constantly trying to second-guess the reasons for others’ actions – and we punish people harshly when we suspect that their motives are impure. Those instinctive suspicions may or may not be true, of course. We often base our judgements on intuition rather than hard facts.
Why overly kind and moral people can rub you up the wrong way
Generative art/design is any work created with an element of chance. We define some rules and allow a source of randomness to guide us to an outcome.
Once a view becomes part of your identity it’s almost impossible to see its flaws, when it needs to adapt, or has expired.

Many years ago, a fresh grad joined my team and asked a lot of basic questions about design such as information architecture, research, etc. And I didn’t know how to help that person because I was too focused on visual design at that time, and oblivious to UX. Long story short, that member quit out of frustration that they can’t grow in my team. I stepped up my game since then.
The biggest challenge that I face within the next 6-12 months would be the on-going maturity of the team. I must be able to go with the flow of improvement in order to support their growth.
Ultimately, legitimacy derives from trust: trust that the governing order is just, trust that agents establishing and enforcing that order are doing so in the interest of the greater good.
To start with, the very abundance of digital data exacerbates the most fundamental constraint on information commerce—the limits of human comprehension.
Software costs nothing to copy, but someone still has to create it. The costs of development may approach zero as copies approach infinity, but there is still a very-non-zero amount of time and capital needed for activation energy.
When you communicate on mass media, whether it’s a 30 second spot on prime-time TV, a press ad in a National newspaper, or a 6 sheet in a city centre, you will reach a large number of those who are in your target market. But you will also reach a large number of those who are not.
Very often, this new behavior involves breaking the rules. Then, a winning strategy for founders is to build products that make these new models more accessible to a wider audience.
