Problemlösen:

Karl Popper, Wissenschaftslehre in entwicklungstheoretischer und logischer Sicht:

"Die Grundthese, die ich Ihnen in diesem Vortrag unterbreiten möchte, kann folgendermaßen formuliert werden:

Die Naturwissenschaften sowie die Sozialwissenschaften gehen immer von Problemen aus; davon, dass etwas unsere Verwunderung [ / unseren Erkenntnisdrang] erregt, wie die griechischen Philosophen sagen. Zur Lösung dieser Probleme verwenden die Wissenschaften grundsätzlich dieselbe Methode, die der gesunde Menschenverstand verwendet: die Methode von Versuch und Irrtum.

Genauer gesagt: Es ist die Methode, versuchsweise Lösungen unseres Problems aufzustellen und dann die falschen Lösungen als irrtümlich zu eliminieren. Diese Methode setzt voraus, dass wir mit einer Vielzahl von versuchsweisen Lösungen arbeiten. Eine Lösung nach der anderen wird ausprobiert ..."

Originalität:

So vieles ist schon geschrieben worden. Viel von dem, was sich originell vorkommt, ein bloßer Abklatsch von bereits Vorhandenem.

Entspannung:

Ein "Bei-Sich-Selbst-Sein", das tiefere Entspannung hervorbringt. Hinauswollen oder Über-Sich-Hinauswollen bringt Spannung mit sich ...

Mate Choice Copying:

Common causes of bad decisions:

Farnam Street:

1. Assumptions based on small sample sizes
2. Wanting the world to work the way we want rather than the way it does
...
5. Not asking, "and then what?"

How to play the status game, Will Storr:

Losing Status, Will Storr

"What happens if you continually lose status?"

"Really bad things."

"If you're going to argue this status is important it must be really bad when we lose it. So what does that look like? ... So I started to research humiliation and the effects of humiliation ... and that's what really convinced me. ... So the definition that I came across of humiliation is it's it's not just ... somebody taking your status away from you it is basically robbing you of any hope of claiming that status again in the future. You're so lacking in status that you're basically banned from the game ... One psychologist describes humiliation as the nuclear bomb of the emotions. So when you look at the very worst things that human beings engage in from anything from genocide to honor killings to spring killings ... many instances of serial murder ... it has humiliation at its core. So you know that really convinced me that this was a really important subject and that status was a fundamental human need. In the book I tell in some detail the story of elliot rogers the incel and I was able to tell that story because before he killed a bunch of people and himself he left a 108 000 word memoir online which was you know really a truly extraordinary document, because he uh whilst being unbelievably narcissisticn it is also incredibly honest about his shortcomings and his problems and there you see and I think you know what i came to is that the most dangerous people are not only the ones who've been humiliated again and again but they're the narcissists, the grandiose people who've been humiliated again and again, because they feel entitled to a life up here but what reality is giving them is down here a for years and you know especially if you're male and you have a propensity to solve status disputes with violence that's a horrible cocktail male grandiose and humiliated is really, really dangerous."
