READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that in the 1940s, the governments of the USA and USSR gave financial support to the development of nuclear weapons, and not to the study of the oceans.  Science does not dictate the direction of our society:  it's religion, economics and politics.  Funding hardly ever follows pure science.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls a long effort in convincing his rival, Hillary Clinton, to come on board as the S of State; she accepted, and he assembled his new team, most of whom were decades more experienced than he.

I wonder if he wasn't more "trying on" new approaches, even then, rather than deciding on who he could choose to achieve the aims of his "change" government.

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says the core of God is comprised of all his Friends, who are ONE with HIM.  They can see where the need for them lies, and they can and do act accordingly.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says (actually READ and TYPED on 20221011) that if I want to convince anyone of something, I need to be an "elephant-whisperer" - not a "rider-whisperer."  Dale Carnegie was a master at this technique:  "Never say, 'You're wrong'," and other such statements, especially when the other person is in combat mode.

I'm remembering how as young LDS missionaries, we were given Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people."  My LDS friends in Beziers mocked the missionaries who touted the book, saying, "Si je veux trouver des amis, je n'ai pas besoin d'un livre."  Perhaps they were wrong.  Perhaps they - and I - could have benefited more from reading Carnegie.

Read for 70 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says he and fellow prisoners learned to cope with their lot in "life," by regression (back to a more primitive life); this led to dreams about the usual pleasures of their former lives (bathing, cakes, etc.).  When they woke from the dreams to the hell of their real lives (at the time), that was the almost unbearable shock of reality.  Supervisors said they "should do more work" since a normal laborer could do 10x as much, and faster, as they were doing.  Frankl reminded one of them that a "normal laborer" at more food and rested more often than Frankl et al did.

Read for 70+ seconds in ULYSSES by James Joyce.  (none today)
