Morning Meeting and Dialogue with Dylan (Thinking… Ch 7 & 8) – D48

After a debriefing like the one on yesterday, you may think that everyone reflected about their behavior and realized they were not doing a good job at the MPC, but apparently no. Only ten of us arrived on time. For the morning meeting we had planned an activity in which we would tell what we were thankful for, since it’s Thanksgiving, but because of Bert’s petition and common agreement, we moved it until everybody were here.

Later, at 9:30, Dylan arrived for our dialogue on Thinking, Fast and Slow, chapters 7 and 8. Some of the topics we discussed (although some in a very superficial way) were finding someone attractive is not a “basic assessment”, automatic processing in visual system/internal chatterbox, halo effect (Is there a way to control our subconscious halo effect?) (Our mind is a network of associations that activate other areas.), are there objective judgments?, WYSIATI (what you see is all there is). It was an interesting dialogue, but I have to admit that I didn’t take full advantage of it since I was not well prepared for it.

A book Dylan recommended us: “A Journey Around My Room” by Xavier Maistre.
