Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
From adequate to optimal. From having a “lot of moving parts” to being economical and efficient. From solving the problem of having too many different options for how to move to exploit the abundance of possible movement solutions available to us. From deciding to take the best option available to moving to shape and change the options afforded to us. From perceiving to act to also acting to perceive – moving to gather more information. From feeling rushed and pressured to slowing time down and acting like you knew what was going to happen all along. Finally, I want to consider how we can go from building skills that are easily disrupted and broken to ones that are adaptable and even anti-fragile – getting stronger through being challenged.

As Tim Ingold might say, I am trying to be “enskilled”: writing in a place and time rather than somehow trying to create a timeless, context-free document – if that is even possible. Consistent with the main message I have been preaching here, my books are a product of the current relationship I have with my environment. The information I am most attuned to.

The lesson from childhood, then, is that if you want to win the war for attention, don’t try to say “no” to the trivial distractions you find on the information smorgasbord; try to say “yes” to the subject that arouses a terrifying longing, and let the terrifying longing crowd out everything else.
