this is interesting. we set goals just to have goals to pursue. we're chronically addicted to problem-solving.

06:30 Reaching goals isn't the point. Goals structures one's consciousness (give direction, perspective, clarity). Wanting certainty for a goal doesn't matter as much.

"The worst day working on your own goals is still better than the best day working on someone else's." -- Dan Koe

100X goals force one to filter action... Impossible goals = Mental Clarity of the HIGHEST degree.

100X come from vision which in turn comes from future identity (future-self)

• paraphrase
  • This paper considers the major events in the history of life on Earth,
    • from the first cells
    • to the recent technological developments of human societies.
  • The focus is primarily on which METs identified by Maynard Smith and Szathmáry (1995) have produced MSTs, either
    • directly or
    • in combination with MCTs and catalysts.
  • In reexamining these major transitions, the authors also highlight the importance of information for both
    • the METs and
    • the resulting MSTs,
  • and speculate upon the role that Level V dark information may play in a future major transition.

• good explanation : empiricism - knowledge gap

• quote

  • on the traditional empiricist account
    • we do not have direct access to the facts of the external world
    • that is we do not experience externality directly but only MEDIATELY, not immediately but MEDIATELY
      • because between us and the external world are those what do you call them oh yes, sense organs
    • and so the question is how faithfully they report what is going on out there
    • To raise the question how faithful is the sensory report of the external world
      • is to assume that you have some reliable non-sensory way of answering that question
    • That's the box you can't get out of and so there is always this gap between
      • reality as it might possibly be known by some non-human creature and
      • reality as empirically sampled by the senses
        • whose limitations and distortions are very well known
          • but not perfectly classified or categorized or or measured

• Comment

  • Robinson contextualizes the empiricist project and gap thereof, as one of the 4 goals of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
  • Robinson informally calls this the "Locke" problem, after one of the founders of the Empiricist school, John Locke.
  • Robinson also alludes to a Thomas Reed approach to realism that contends that we don't experience reality MEDIATELY, but IMMEDIATELY, thereby eliminating the gap problem altogether.

(~14:00) The way to gain massive results is to have massive irrational goals complemented by small reasonable steps or milestones.

Big goals motivate. Big goals give focus and clarity, they are a filter (see Dr. Benjamin Hardy's content); they allow for easy application of the power law.

1: Optimale Gestaltung der F&E-Tätigkeiten

(23:20) Accomplished Marathon Runners & Athletes use what Dr. Sung would call "performance goals" to motivate themselves to continue and build momentum.

(8:00) Perhaps this is metaphorical to thinking and planning in general? When we set goals, we need to zoom out in order to see the whole picture, or at least a more holistic view, before we can somewhat accurately plan forward.

The four primary questions to ask yourself for a 100x 10-year vision:

1. What is the commitment I desire to have?
2. What are my hindrances (goal-conflicting actions or inactions)? -- Past-Based Actions/Behaviors
3. What are my hidden commitments of my former self? (things that might've helped my past self but are not as helpful right now.) -- Past-Based Commitments/Identities
4. What are my limiting beliefs or assumptions toward achieving this goal? -- Past-based Beliefs

Step 1 is to fill out these questions. Step 2 is to go backwards, and start identifying what is necessary, so what are the necessary beliefs to achieve this goal, what commitments must I make and thus what actions must I take?

The power of a 10-year vision is that you can go 100x. A bigger goal (vision) motivates way better than a small vision. Even if you fail, which you will, it's better to fail at a big goal than at a small goal... In addition, such a ginormous goal will act as a massive filter for action. It literally FORCES you to do only that which is ESSENTIAL.

How many times you thought a heavy bank account will make you happy? How many times you thought the same about careers, romantic lovers, fame or children and villa on a sheer? You might have also had some reveries that drinking alcohol will do or using drugs of any kind. Dig deep in this idea: what is it that you really want? If you look good enough you'll see the only reason why you're seeking all those things -- the joy is tied to them within your mind and it is joy indeed you really want. And yet, how many times your idols failed you? Weren't you shocked by the amount of side effects they bring? You thought a zillion coins will give you peace and happiness but what you've got is constant worry and distress. Is it not time for you stop chasing carrots but focus on your real goal instead?

If you would look on anyone more closely to figure out their motivation and what exactly makes them tick, you'll be surprised to see that you are not the only one who's chasing happiness, it is at root for anyone indeed. There is no difference between a mother of a baby and user of some drug except in ways they're looking for it: the mother plans to get it from her baby the other - from the drug. Even the biggest tyrants you can name were doing what they've done only because they honestly believed: this is the way to joy. And so the universal goal is equal but everyone has a unique and special plan on how to get it, a map their very own. But if you've dared to lift this heavy brick of paper, it means you are among of those who've started to suspect: your plan has failed.

It focuses the product owner and development team on delivering something valuable to be shown in the Sprint Review. (Start with the end in mind.)

This emphasises that problems are to be solved not only during or after a decision in a retrospective, but during a sprint. However, achieving the Sprint Goal and meeting the DOD for each sprint backlog item still has priority over improvement work. Ach

1. The best projects start with goals and plans.
2. The subconscious has so much to do with success.
3. Our subconscious decides whether to accept something into our awareness based on something called "Hot Goals".
4. From this udemy course, I will learn how to set goals with the MOMA subconscious method, by which I convert what's not working for me into a HOT GOAL.
5. Achieving hot goals is the means of the subconscious mind to keep you safe even if it isn't necessary.
6. If your goals have to become hot goals then, your conscious goals must translate to subconscious goals.

"Research suggests that avoidance of challenge may be related to motives and goals in somewhat complex ways. Elliott and Dweck (1988), in an experimental study, found that when children were oriented toward mastery goals they were more likely to choose tasks described as challenging and offering opportunities to learn, regardless of their level of perceived ability. But when students were oriented toward performance goals, they chose challenging tasks that served to enhance others' high opinions of their abilities only if they perceived their ability to be high. Children who perceived their ability to be low and were oriented toward performance goals, in contrast, tended to choose tasks described as easy but that would avoid unfavourable judgments of their ability. Some students may feel they are in a double-bind, preferring easy work that does not threaten their self-worth, yet taking on difficult tasks in order to demonstrate their competence or superiority... Elliot and Church (1997) found that performance-approach goals were positively associated with measures of both challenge-avoidance (fear of failure) and challence-seeking motives (achievement motivation). Avoidance of challenge, then appears, to be positively associated with performance-avoidance goals and negatively related with matery goals, but may have a more complex relationship with performance-approach goals."

In other words, the goal has to be to focus teaching and evaluation on the inculcation of mastery goals and the avoidance of situations in which students are encouraged to engage in performance-avoidance. Once they start engaging in performance avoidance, they then stop seeing challenge.

When students achieved low grades, a performance approach goal was related to decreased intrinsic value and increased desire to avoid challenge.

Performance avoidance is bad; performance approach motivation may be good.

Performance approach goals are beneficial for achievement and do not affect motivation negatively, as opposed to performance-avoidance goals.

Performance approach goals are positively associated with self-efficacy, but also to challenge avoiding behaviour.

Performance-approach goals focus on gaining a favourable judgement;

Performance-avoidance goal concerns a focus on avoiding negative judgements.

It is created during the Sprint Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Development Team some flexibility regarding the functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal can be any other coherence that causes the Development Team to work together rather than on separate initiatives.
