Tristan Miller German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence[1] 20 December 1999 Why don't I have a girlfriend?

Lest anyone suspect that my standards for women are too high, let me allay those fears by enumerating in advance my three criteria for the match. That said, I now present my demonstration of why the probability of finding a suitable candidate fulfilling the three above-noted requirements is so small as to be practically impossible—in other words, why I will never have a girlfriend. Number of people on Earth (in 1998): 5 592 830 000[4] We start with the largest demographic in which I am interested—namely, the population of this planet. …who are female: 2 941 118 000[5] I'd've thought that, given the title of this essay, this criterion goes without saying. …in "developed" countries: 605 601 000[5] …currently (in 2000) aged 18 to 25: 65 399 083[4][5]

The Noticing Game - (moving, sexy, fun) This little game had us both in tears the last time I played it… And the time before that, we were both smiling so much our cheeks hurt… It’s simple, easy, in-the-moment, and you can play it with your lover, a friend, on a date, or with someone you’ve just met. Below is a description of the game, an excerpt from our Games Night Manual. Here it is: The Noticing Game Requirements: 2 people Warning: You will both likely feel more present, playful, connected, and perhaps even turned-on after playing this game. Directions:Two people stand directly across from each other, standing or sitting, making eye contact. A: What I notice when I’m with you is…<fill in the blank> B: Hearing that, what I’m noticing is…<fill in the blank> A: Hearing that, what I’m noticing is…<fill in the blank> …and so on, alternating back and forth… …until you’re incapacitated with laughter, tears, or find yourselves passionately making out… …or, whenever seems like a good time to stop.

Apprendre à manipuler et à mentir - mentalisme, psychologie, empathie How to get into strategy Strategy | Comments | Last built on 15 October, 2009 So, you want to get a strategy job? I recently read a theory that really struck a chord with me and helped me make sense of my journey over the past few years. Forgive me for not citing the source or being able to recollect the percentage accurately but the writer claimed that 80% of the jobs that my children’s generation will be doing haven’t been invented yet. Think about that. But what if the system is broken? What if you started with a clean sheet of paper… how would you build a system around how you think – and not force-fit how you think into an old system incapable of change? Square pegs need square holes The reason I bring this up in a post about getting into strategy is that the above is really liberating. I bring this up because if you’ve chosen to read this post then you may well be feeling a bit stuck right now. You’re not alone. The problem with ‘strategy’ The word ‘strategy’ is really mis-used by many people. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

How To Breathe - Literally Most people have never stopped to think, “Am I breathing well?” because it seems like a patently ridiculous question. Sure, you’re breathing – but breathing well will unlock some valuable reserves your that body had long ago, probably as far back as your childhood. Your ability to relax, for example, where did that go? Our modern lifestyle involves a lot of sitting, which is a relatively new invention for the human frame. A knock-on effect from sitting so much is that the crumpled abdomen cannot perform its role in respiration. So what? Sure, but it does the job poorly. The chest, neck and shoulder muscles are called accessory muscles of respiration. So, are you a chest-breather? Stand in front of a mirror wearing a tight shirt or just topless (*wolf whistles*). On inhale: Raise their shouldersPuff out their chestUsually open their mouthTheir stomach will go inOn exhale: Shoulders dropStomach sags forward (and will often have a bit of a belly)Mouth often open Relax.

L’éveil pour oser devenir soi-même (développement personnel) - Mes difficultés proprement dites importent peu mais la manière dont je les perçois fait toute la différence car elle détermine comment j’y fais face. - Souvent c’est le jugement d’autrui qui détermine ma perception de la réalité d’une chose ou d’une situation et qui dit que mon comportement est bon ou mauvais. - Toutes mes discussions reposent sur la manière dont je perçois mon environnement, les choses et les êtres qui m’entourent. - En appréhendant les choses autrement, je les penserais autrement et les autres agirons autrement avec moi. - Diverses interprétations d’une même information peut, soit enrichir une relation, soit semer la discorde entre deux personnes car d’autres éléments doivent être également pris en compte : le passé, la culture, les valeurs, les désirs, l’éducation, le degré d’ouverture de chacun… - Tenir compte des filtrage de chacun m’ouvre de nouvelles perspectives. - En comprenant l’autre (son point de vue), je vis de manière harmonieuse avec lui.
