Learning to Be an “Ecological” Coach
Rob Gray
Perhaps more important is the emotion of shame and the behaviors that attend to it. Shame is the anguish we feel at being seen by others in degrading circumstances.9 When we feel shame, like when we’re the subject of scandal, we cover our faces, hang our heads, or avoid social contact altogether. And it’s our fear of shame that prompts us either to refrain from cheating, or else to cover our tracks so others don’t find out.
The Elephant in the Brain
Kevin Simler and Robin Hanson
A theory of a situation is just an informal organizing pattern (either recognized from past experience, or improvised) that accelerates the development of situation awareness by providing a strong filter. New input that further refines, confirms or obviously invalidates the theory bubbles quickly to the foreground. Clearly irrelevant input is banished to the background. Elements of unclear relevance remain in limbo as a vague sense of uncertainty, creating drag, which we experience as doubt. In the case of a love triangle, the pattern in your head might be: A and B are both attracted to C, and C is mildly attracted to A.
