Comecei a ouvir o último livro de Seth Godin durante as viagens de carro para fora de Gaia. Seth Godin é um autor que escreve para os humanos de Mongo, os humanos que fogem do século XX e abraçam a arte em todas as suas facetas.
BTW, recordar o que escrevemos aqui ao longo dos anos sobre a arte e o eficientismo. Por isso, apelar à arte fere o mindset assente no século XX.
"For the important work, the instructions are always insufficient. For the work we’d like to do, the reward comes from the fact that there is no guarantee, that the path isn’t well lit, that we cannot possibly be sure it’s going to work.
It’s about throwing, not catching. Starting, not finishing. Improving, not being perfect.
No one learns to ride a bike from a manual.
...
Art is what we call it when we’re able to create something new that changes someone.
No change, no art.
...
It’s a form of leadership, not management. A process without regard for today’s outcome, a commitment to the journey.
You were born ready to make art. But you’ve been brainwashed into believing that you can’t trust yourself enough to do so.
You’ve been told you don’t have enough talent (but that’s okay, because you can learn the skill instead).
You’ve been told you’re not entitled to speak up (but now you can see how many others have taken their turns).
And you’ve been told that if you can’t win, you shouldn’t even try (but now you see that the journey is the entire point).
Art is the generous act of making things better by doing something that might not work.
...
“If we believe that it’s not our turn, that we’re not talented enough, we’ll do whatever we can to make that story true. We’ll sit back and wait to be chosen instead. [Moi ici: Algo que li recentemente como sendo o efeito Forer]
That’s backward.
Most of the time, the story we live by came from somewhere. It might be the way we were raised, or it could be the outcome of a series of events. Burn yourself on the stove and you might persuade yourself that you should go nowhere near a stove. Grow up in a home with low expectations and it’s possible you’ll begin to believe them. The story we tell ourselves leads to the actions we take.
If you want to change your story, change your actions first. When we choose to act a certain way, our mind can’t help but rework our narrative to make those actions become coherent.
We become what we do.”

“Or consider the Forer effect. This is the strong tendency that subjects show to believe feedback from personality tests, regardless of whether those results are bogus.”
