Re: ERE as a couple: getting things or services?
How do you communicate about getting things or services as a couple? I think this is a very good question. How do couples resolve @#$@#$-issues? This were the WL table can be most helpful! Not as a normative solution telling you how you must do it. But as a tool that makes it easier to understand a...

Re: Actualization!- Level 7 towards level 8
How does this differ from the Values Clarification piece ... The point of WL6-8 is that it doesn't differ. YMOYL very much starts with values but the book itself never makes it into systems theory (even though VR herself understands systems theory). OTOH, WL6-8 actually does have a realistic unders...

Re: Actualization!- Level 7 towards level 8
I would also suggest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNZmJpQcmO4 (4 minutes)
Worthwhile as a summary for ERE and also touching on some WL8 aspects near the end.

Re: How awesome is slow cooking?
Unfortunately early British colonists did not stay in their lane/latitude: Me neither. I say good riddance to soups and stews! I fucking hate soup or any stew I can't eat with a fork! :lol: One of the wonderful things about globalism is how cooking cultures intermixed and created new dishes(*). I'm...

Re: Actualization!- Level 7 towards level 8
The first thing to understand with this thread is that as far as the ERE forum is considered, WL8 is heading into thin air. Unlike previous WLs, we don't have enough forum threads to generalize and turn it into proper statitics. Here be dragons! In many ways, the current (2024) misunderstandings/wor...

Good initiative. I made the other threads "sticky", which means they appear at the top of the given index. Lets see what we can fill in together here.

Re: How awesome is slow cooking?
60-70C is about all that's needed to do that. Bacteria don't thrive in that heat. Same reason why water heaters are set to that temperature.ducknald_don wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:19 amPresumably you would need to keep it at a minimum temperature to avoid bacteria building up.

Re: The ERE Wheaton Scale
To reiterate, apart from spreading the word, I think there's still theoretical work to be done. I really think we need someone credible (a credentialled economist) to tell politicians that mass FIRE will not be the end of the world. Keynes with his offhand musing on 15 hour work week was a good sta...

Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
@J+G - Thank you. I didn't disagree with a single sentence there. Well put too. If I may put it in math terms. The human population exists on Bell curves (many variables, mostly all Gaussian). Within that population, samples exist on other Bell Curves (different averages and standard deviations). (F...

Re: The ERE Wheaton Scale
More broadly, I don't think it's possible to implement huge social change in purely bottom-up manner. What usually happens is that thinkers/activists/early adopters eventually get enough people behind an idea so that it becomes adopted by a major political player, and then implemented at country's ...

I don't follow. How did start from Keynes' letter and arrive at masses of people involved in active investing? Step 1. Collect underpants. Step 2. ???? Step 3. Profit! Seriously though. I think the internet has been and continue to be a significant force multiplier in spreading the ideas. While few...

Re: How awesome is slow cooking?
When did it become the norm in the developed world to cook in such energy intensive ways? I mean, there's nothing wrong with an occasional stir fry, sauté or baked meal for a treat. But every day seems excessive. Maybe the corporate wage-slave "pressure cooker" lifestyle encourages people...

Re: A chat with gpt2-chatbot
FWIW, I'm already nuking posts that are "100% AI generated" (mostly spam accounts) as well as "hey take a look at this one hour youtube video"-driveby commentary. It's not a huge problem although it could become one. I think it's in the general interest of the forum to preserve a...

Re: The ERE Wheaton Scale
Anyways, this is what I think Jacob means in the book when he writes about preserving the efficiencies of the market/Capitalist mass production. It entails pruning the branch at the juncture where Keynes predicted that the efficiencies obtained through mass production would eventualy allow for 15 h...

Re: The ERE Wheaton Scale
I did not present any vision of a ‘utopia’ nor do I think my questions reflect “dreamy” thinking– why are you addressing it that way? I’m providing specific examples that do not seem to be beyond the capability of “what you can actually do.” And I would argue, have argued , these relatively easy to...

Re: The ERE Wheaton Scale
...until welfare issues are integrated into systems design at Level Yellow/Turquoise. Which is exactly where/why WL8+ is going, no? ERE is Yellow level systems design. So the few WL9-10 individuals getting blamed for the fall of capitalism or the welfare state are indeed contributing to the general...

IOW, it seems to me that you are profoundly confounding E/I with N/S and T/F in your post above. I am, for the sake of the argument, trying to keep it simple without losing generality here. Adding more neurotransmitters (GABA, serotonin,... complete list ) or exceptions to the argument would only s...
