What is my relationship to discipline?<\/span><\/p>

It works as a guideline<\/strong>. I follow it throughout the day, the week, and even the month when I go as far as adding a theme for the latter and declining goals and habits to try to embody it.<\/span><\/p>

It starts the preceding month<\/strong>, noticing dissatisfying parameters in my Everyday<\/em>, wandering around virtual alleys of things to try. I take notes<\/strong> of it all<\/strong>, in my mind, on notebooks \u2011 drafting the promising contours of my next phase<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

[So. Am gonna add one hour of painting every Wednesday evening. I can\u2019t keep saying yeah am both an artist and a researcher and then paint only on the weekends. Do u see me as an artist like, when u think about me in your head? I think I can really do better with those empty blocks in my calendar, coz they are just sitting there for me to fill them don\u2019t u think. I could also run more, coz I really like the athlete persona. It\u2019s clean. 24h in a day anyway. 24h to grow!!!]<\/em><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>Give colors to the grey zones of uncertainty<\/strong>, blow novelty into Emptiness to keep Idleness at bay. Isn\u2019t that the idea?<\/span><\/p>

Lexical notifiers that human nature is not to be let run unchecked<\/strong>: <\/u><\/span><\/p>

“hacking”, “trackers”, “optimize”, “implement”, “supplement”, “plan”, “tweak”, “keep track”, “bulletproof coffee”, “optimal”, “not optimal”, “morning routine”, “evening rituals”<\/em><\/span><\/p>

What is my relationship to discipline?<\/em><\/span><\/p>

It is a perspective<\/strong>. One whereby I analyse the Self, what I am not, my potential(s). I look at my flaws, the unruly, ce qui d\u00e9borde. <\/em>It is<\/strong> an acknowledgement<\/strong>, that requires dissociation<\/strong> (to see what is), and desire<\/strong> (of what could be).<\/span><\/p>

It is also<\/strong> control<\/em><\/strong>, at the scale of my tiny world and less than that, at the scale of what in that world can <\/em>be controlled.<\/span><\/p>

Do I use discipline because I am afraid of Being<\/em>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

  1. Yes, and I am glad I do.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Yes, and I am glad I do, but I want to experiment with no-discipline (call it no-dis<\/em>).<\/span><\/li>
  3. Yes, and it is too bad because Being <\/em>is probably wonderful.<\/span><\/li>
  4. No, I use discipline because it is my way of Being <\/em>as a human.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Follow-ups:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

    • How has discipline emerged as a human behavior, and is it uniquely human?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • What is the language of discipline, and how has it evolved? [I hypothesize that it has been shaped by the language of new technologies, such as computers].<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/li>

    • How does this technological language influence people’s relationship with discipline?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • Should Emptiness be considered a necessary aspect of healthy discipline?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
