#1965·Lola Trimble revised 5 months agoThat was my only problem! I think it's important to note how sound affects our thoughts, and I appreciate your take on it. In the past, I would use music to block out thought quite often, and I haven't seen many people take note of how harmful that can be towards growth and knowledge creation. I think the revision makes the idea a little less sharp and more helpful. Overall, I really enjoyed the article.
Thanks!
#1975·Zelalem Mekonnen, 5 months agoIt does. But wouldn't that explain away the problem itself? I guess understanding and moving the problem into the future where I might be better suited to solve it is a good idea. So now I am acting on an explanation that solves the problem tentatively.
It’s just an example. We’re not actually trying to solve the problem of where you want to live. We’re trying to understand how Veritula works.
Another example is physics. The idea ‘Newtonian physics is the true explanation of gravity’ has pending criticisms. For all we know, it’s false. But the idea ‘As an architect, I use Newtonian physics to make calculations because it’s simpler than general relativity and gives nearly identical results on earth’ may have no pending criticisms. So it’s rational for the architect to go with Newtonian physics.
The architect isn’t moving the problem into the future. Finding the true explanation of gravity was never his problem. He’s picking the best tool for the job, today.
#1970·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months agoThe mere idea ‘continue living in city X’ may have pending criticisms. But so might the idea ‘leave X’. Maybe leaving is too expensive right now, or you’d have to find a new job and you like your job more than you want to leave, etc. In which case there could be a third idea: ‘At some point I’d like to leave X, but for right now that’s too expensive and too cumbersome, so staying in X for another year is fine.’ And that idea may not have any pending criticisms.
Does that make sense?

#1966·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months agoVeritula uses a serif font …
Upon reflection, that doesn’t matter. The letters J and I aren’t difficult to tell apart in sans-serif fonts, either.
Right, I was just replying from my phone, which I should not have done, as it is easy to make mistakes like that.
Welcome to Veritula, Lola.
I generally like complete silence when I think but sometimes I’ll play soft music to mix things up.
You make a fair point, so I’ve updated my blog post to reflect that the ideal noise level varies based on people’s preferences.
Basically, choose a noise level that maximizes your ability to think and hear your own thoughts.

The current city J live in. … But J still live here.
You should really be able to distinguish the letter J from the letter I. Veritula uses a serif font; they’re not difficult to tell apart.
I’ve previously suggested that you paste your comments into Grammarly before you post them. Remember to do that until you get so good it routinely finds no issues.
If you have a criticism of that suggestion, state it (in a new discussion). Don’t just ignore the idea and continue making spelling mistakes.

#1960·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months agoI don’t think that solves it because one shouldn’t act on a problematic idea either. And falseness can still be the reason an idea is problematic in the first place.
So, please give an example.

#1959·Zelalem Mekonnen, 5 months agoThe reframing of an idea with criticism being problematic instead of false solves this. Because now I’m not acting based on a false idea but a problematic idea.

#1937·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months agoCan you give an example of a flawed idea you think is true and want to act on?
PS: You forgot to @mention me. Again, if you want me to get notified, check the section that says ‘Replying to’ above the textarea when you write the comment. If it doesn’t list me, @mention me.

#1954·Lola Trimble, 5 months agoI see the value in having quiet areas to think, I agree that it is important, but I at times find the quiet distracting. I sometimes work better in environments that have some level of noise, nothing like a club, more like a somewhat crowded cafe. So are you talking about “quieter” environments such as a cafe, or are you talking about complete silence in your observation?
