realNuun2 I can remember things from the past that are analogous to current circumstances, but I have very little memory left of the past that has nothing to do with the present. ↓ Can we maximize nostalgia assets by generating as much of the present as possible that is relevant to the future?
realNuun2 Since “situations” are mostly relationships, one might conclude that “you should stay in a relationship with the same person for as long as possible.”
nishio Maybe this Barbell Strategy is appropriate. If we only use “long-term relationship with the same person”, everyone gets one year older every year and elderly thinking filter bubble will be generated. (About 80% of the community when I was in my 20s has become a filter bubble.)
realNuun2 I see! I think it would be good to not only “hold the same relationship for a long time” but also “belong to a community where people are metabolized.” It is a mystery to me how I can belong for so long and yet have a metabolism. “Befriending a friend’s child in a long-term relationship” seems like a quick way to do it.
nishio I’m starting to think that a metabolizing community can only exist if there is no freedom of choice or Freedom of Movement, like “if a child is born in a village, it automatically joins the village community”. of Movement] like “if a child is born in a village, it automatically joins the village community” (probably an extreme theory).
nishio nishio The incentive to join an already established community later is usually not very high, so when there is freedom of choice, old communities become less selective. Is this a good thing?
nishio There are upper and lower limits of communication depending on human cognitive capacity and personality, which are both resources and needs No new exploration takes place because needs are met by staying in a long-lasting community. What is the incentive for new people to join such a group of people? Depends on the situation?
nishio After all, the need for quantity of communication is satisfied by the mere existence of the community, so the only people who are not satisfied by that are those who have a strong desire for “new thing.” The only people who can’t be satisfied by that are those who have a strong desire for “new thing”, and the only way for them to be satisfied is to move and go to a new community.
takiuchi For example, working for a company is a typical “join an already established community later”, and as long as it performs well, it’s likely to survive normally, so the choice I don’t think freedom or old-fashionedness has much to do with it.
nishio: Is the freedom of choice due to the fact that the incentive to join an already established community later is usually not very high, so that old communities become less selective?
nishio The incentive is that the community pays the salary!
takiuchi So incentives are ok if they are retrofitted :)
