Good to hear about your career and taking positive action. Well done!
I don’t have any plans for transferring my old articles, but I’ll probably link to my own articles every now and then, as well as write on the same topics again.
Hi Mikael,
Would have made more sense for me to have sent this to you by email but I couldn’t find it on the page.
I was reading a book Thinking Fast and Slow. You might have read it as its about behavioral economics. Something mentioned in there reminded me of what you mentioned about your not having the experience of “time flying” because you were truly living it (or something along those lines). In case you haven’t read the book heres a TED talk about it:
http://www.ted.com/talks/daniel_kahneman_the_riddle_of_experience_vs_memory?language=en
My question is do you not think that it the nature of the “remembering self” vs. the “experiencing self” that might have something to do with your perception of time vs. that of others?
Hi, my e-mail is included in every post update that I send out over e-mail, but perhaps you use Feedly instead?
Anyway, it’s mikael.syding@gmail.com
Yes, I’ve read the book and seen the TED talk.
It’s definitely partly a question of remembering self and experiencing self. My life is NOT like a colonoscopy :)
However there is more to the story. Remember that Kahneman’s findings are quite dated. I had already read more or less everything in his book while I was in business school 1990-94… Today the field of brain plasticity and the importance of novelty for brain health as well as life quality has exploded in just the last 5-10 years.
Typically, when people get older they experience less new things (the walk the same streets, see the same people etc) and thus the brain doesn’t need to create new circuits. This causes unnecessarily premature dementia as well as less “milestones”. The more milestones the fuller and slower the life feels, but old people tend to experience fewer and fewer milestones and thus feel their lives rush by.
Actually, the last sentence is what I was asking about. In other words does your “remembering self” remember a lot more milestones because of all the varied thrilling experiences you’ve had in a year, which are the “moments” you remember it by?
So are you perhaps subconsciously comparing the number of such moments last year vs. how many you had in youth, and a year feels like a lot more? Whereas this isn’t the case with other men of the same age?
That’s exactly what I think is going on here, which also fits with plasticity research and Kahneman’s findings.
Awesome blog.
All the way from Singapore. :)
Thanks. Glad to have you here, and I hope I won’t disappoint going forward.
Noticed you had no content on your blog Marcus, when is it coming? :)
Mikael,
Do you know of a US distributor of ArticMed? I looked around with no luck. Thanks.
What even is justification?
Is anything justified in the world, or is the world just a habitat and we are animals like our relatives the chimps. When entropy rises too much and some disaster occurs such as a terrorist attack or a nuclear explosion which whom all defy productivity but aren’t they the product of short term attempted gain, exactly no?
I would argue yes because USA funded Al Qaeda, they wanted total dominance, you have to win before the others to make sure you can cheat later on right. So terrorism spans as a direct result from conflicts because of entropy that rose.
Herbivores are not cannibalistic but wait, if there is only one patch of grass and two buck, the last to eat is the one whom will not eat at all because the first buck will have the energy to roam more while the last has no more energy.
Relatable right?
I have so many Ideas on my blog that I am throwing around Mikael, I’m at Bocconi maybe you have heard about it? Could you take a look.
Gracias amigo.
