What are some of the other low agency traps?
2
Another one kind of related to what you mentioned there is the rumination trap.
3
So, hey, any updates on breaking me out of this jail?
4
Sorry for the slow reply.
5
I've been thinking about it.
6
I know I've spent the last year thinking about it.
7
I think I just need more time to think.
8
I'm trying to think about my overthinking problem.
9
If I can solve that, I think I can start.
10
So the rumination trap is one I began to learn a lot more from doing cognitive behavioral therapy.
11
And it's just this endless loop.
12
I mean, we were chatting about this the other day of
13
if you could analyze the 50 to 60,000 thoughts per day and really see them.
14
The problem with the human brain is you have these 50 to 60,000 thoughts, but because they're constantly in short-term memory.
15
You don't fully, if you could see the graph- You'd love a dashboard.
16
Yeah.
17
If you could see the dashboard, you'd go, I've thought about, I've worried about that conversation with somebody 20% of the week for the last three years.
18
And it's just ruminating around.
19
But when it's there fresh in consciousness, you don't see the dashboard.
20
You don't see that.
21
So you just ruminate- Well, there's two things going on there.
22
There's the fact that you're in a new place, a new time of life, and you can always have an old thought in a slightly new way gives it a sense of novelty.
23
So you kind of are kidded into believing that it's something new.
24
And the other part is that we're creatures of habit and old thoughts, even ones that are quite uncomfortable, are familiar to us.
25
And that familiarity gives us a sense of comfort and that comfort gives us a sense of sort of habituation.
26
You know, you might not, obviously not with this show because it's fantastic, but many people will watch or listen to YouTube channels that they kind of don't really enjoy anymore,
27
but they just know where they're going to go.
28
It's very predictive.
29
It's like putting on an old, comfortable leather pair of shoes.
30
Slide my feet into these.
31
I know what his opinion's going to be.
32
This is sweet.
33
And the algorithm just keeps you in this static loop.
34
Of course it does.
35
So yeah, rumination trap.
36
So the rumination trap, I'm going to guess, is diametrically opposed to bias for action.
37
Yes.
38
It's the opposite of that.
39
So a personal rumination story that I had was,
40
and the problem with rumination is you try and forecast into the future constantly.
41
That's the big thing from cognitive behavioral therapy is they call it the crystal ball
42
or you're trying to forecast in the future ahead.
43
And unless you can get a perfect outcome, you just kick the can down the road.
44
And then ultimately you end up with not much road left and just a lot of cans.
45
So one that came to mind for me.
46
So when I was thinking about clear thinking, there's the three big decisions, right?
47
There's where you live, who you're with and what you're doing.
48
And one thing I struggled with for ages was, I'm in this location right now.
49
Maybe I could go to this other location.
50
And what would happen in my head is I would have option A of me staying in current location, or option B going to new location.
51
And when I would think of option A, it would go nightmare mode.
52
So everything that could possibly go wrong would go wrong.
53
And the other option has worked out perfectly.
54
And then I'd flip to the other option and the reverse was true.
55
When I had left and gone to that location, everything's gone wrong and I've now missed out on everything.
56
And as a result, it's this doom loop that then begins to occur.
57
And the more you kick the can down the road, the more you ruminate, the bigger this thing becomes.
58
And it's this absolute doom loop cycle.
59
And then you go, I don't want to think about this, which makes the thing bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
60
Yeah.
61
I mean, this is a conversation I heard recently about action being an antidote to anxiety
62
and that the bias for action just, Just look, you might think that by worrying and obsessing
63
and ruminating and thought looping and fearing and gripping your way through this problem, that it reduces down the likelihood of it happening somehow,
64
that it brings to bear more control, that it almost like impacts reality in some sort of a way.
65
It makes no difference.
66
Again, what are we focused on?
67
We're focused on outcomes, not on inputs.
68
and the people that have that bias for action, they end up just finding out whether or not this thing is going to work way quicker.
69
The biggest thing that I actually found for people listening who probably had
70
that doom loop that I have and still have
71
is in terms of getting a bias to action is rather than calling it a decision, just moving to experiments.
72
So just looking at the two and going, okay, I think this one has 60% probability.
73
This one has 40% probability.
74
I'm going to go with the 60% one
75
and I'm going to fully back the decision
76
and I'll book time six months from now to review how it went and then change if not.
77
Because I realized in the five years spent ruminating about the two different options, I could have lived in both cities multiple times.
78
Both of us have done things where we've spent more time
79
making a decision than it would have taken to have worked out whether it was going to work or not.
80
Yes, so much time wasted.
81
And the thing I love about that is if you actually just did the thing,
82
the amount of real data that your amygdala can't just sit there creating these doomsday scenarios.
83
The big realisation I had when I spoke to the CBT guy
84
that I worked with was when you actually look at those nightmare modes that are playing,
85
what's really strange about rumination is it skips like two to three years in the future.
86
And the worst case scenario, it's always, I won't be able to cope.
87
The worst case scenario will happen.
88
I won't be able to cope and people will judge me.
89
It's what happens in the doom loop in the rumination cycle, but it always skips two to three years in the future.
90
He made a great point of it's like a horror film.
91
It just starts now and goes two to three years in the future.
92
He goes, but real life's more like a documentary.
93
What's you have agency?
94
What's all the steps that lead you up?
95
You can bail out or change or adjust course at any point along that.
96
Yeah.
97
I think a good way of moving out the rumination cycle, I kind of call it the difference between clear thinking and muddy thinking.
98
And ultimately we spoke about this the other day, the kind of aphorism I have, you know, the Nietzsche thing of never trust a thought that happens indoors,
99
never trust a thought that happens in your head is a good rule of thumb.
100
And I like that Balaji idea of transformation.
101
So if thought happens in my head, it's not true until I've drawn it out, written it down, spoken it out loud to another person,
102
create an equation, put it in a spreadsheet, whatever it is.
103
And I actually think probably 50% of the benefits of therapy
104
is just going from head to out loud it's more it's more than
105
that you know this is one of the reasons why uh i'm i'm not on substack
106
but i'm an avatar for people having a substack
107
or some form of written publicly consumed uh form of artistic output uh
108
or self-reflection specifically for self-reflection uh i'm a really good avatar for someone
109
that would not have been able to keep up a writing practice for four
110
and a half years or however long it's been now since i launched my newsletter
111
and now we're like a quarter of a million words written in whatever four
112
and a half years something like that
113
but it's invariably the best part of my week it's my favorite thing the guy
114
that does the podcast his favorite thing is the hour
115
and a half that he spends writing every week because of
116
that precise reason it synthesizes down the most salient thing that I've learned from that one week.
117
And I know I only have whatever 500 words or a thousand words to write this in.
118
So I need to be like high in brevity.
119
I need to be pretty precise.
120
Uh, I need to triage what it is I want to talk about.
121
So if I talk about this, I can't talk about that.
122
So which one's it going to be, which one's more important to you, which one are you feeling more right now? and um
123
yeah you know big big fan of people having especially a
124
public facing version of this i understand here we go yeah we have a people that journal it's phenomenal in many ways
125
because you're able to say things that you can't for public consumption but i get the sense that at least for me, when I write things for public,
126
I'm held to such a rigorous standard for precision to really, really clarify my thinking that I'm sure I miss lots of advantages that proper journaling would allow.
127
But it also does other things, which is, I think it's easier for you to create structures and frameworks and ideas that you can then later refer to,
128
supposed to like referring to this messy thing that's kind of all over the place that's in a journal.
129
So yeah, It's a mixed bag.
130
One thing on the writing side that I found specifically useful related to that is a photo can't do this.
131
A video can't quite do this.
132
But writing actually gives you the ability to go back 10 years, let's say 10 years in the future now, and understand how you think today or be able to nap today, go back 10 years.
133
It's a snapshot of your mind.
134
Yeah, that's how I thought.
135
And because so many of the thoughts just disappear completely down the drain, it's so beautiful in that regard.
136
Sleep isn't just about how long you rest, but also how well your body stays in its optimal temperature zone throughout the night.
137
And this is where 8 Sleep comes in.
138
Just add their brand new Pod4 Ultra to your mattress like a fitted sheet
139
and it automatically cools down or warms up each side of your bed.
140
It's got integrated sensors that track your sleep time, sleep phases, HRV, snoring, and your heart rate with 99% accuracy.
141
It even starts cooling or heating your bed an hour before your bedtime.
142
And that's why it's been clinically proven to increase total sleep time by up to one hour every night.
143
I've been using my Eight Sleep mattress for years and I literally can't imagine life without it.
144
I'm on the road at the moment in London
145
and it feels medieval to not have an actively cooled and heated mattress topper.
146
It is a total game changer.
147
Best of all, they have a 30 night sleep trial so you can buy it and sleep on it for 29 days.
148
If you don't like it, they'll give you your money back.
149
Plus they ship internationally.
150
Right now you can get $350 off the Pod 4 Ultra by going to the link in the description below

لماذا يجب ممارسة التحدث مع هذا الفيديو؟
في هذا الفيديو، نستمع إلى محادثة تتناول موضوعات عميقة تتعلق بالتفكير والمشاعر. تعتبر هذه المواضيع مثالية لممارسة المحادثة باللغة الإنجليزية، حيث تحمل فرصة للتفاعل مع أفكار معقدة وتعلم كيفية التعبير عنها بشكل فعال. من خلال تحسين مهارات التحدث، يمكنك أن تصبح أكثر راحة وثقة في استخدام اللغة. يتيح لك هذا السياق فرصة لتطبيق مهاراتك في محادثات حقيقية، مما يساعد على تعزيز قدرتك على التعبير عن نفسك بوضوح.
النحو والتعبيرات في السياق
يتضمن الفيديو بعض التعبيرات والجمل التي تستحق التركيز عليها. إليك بعض النقاط المفتاحية:
- التفكير الزائد: تتكرر فكرة التفكير الزائد، وهذا يعبر عن الصعوبة في اتخاذ القرارات بسبب التردد.
- الفخ الرومنسي: يتم الإشارة إلى "rumination trap"، وهو تعبير يشير إلى إعادة التفكير في الأمور بشكل مفرط، مما قد يؤدي إلى حالة من الجمود.
- التنبؤ بالمستقبل: يتم ذكر التوقعات السلبية، حيث يتحدث المتحدث عن "crystal ball" كتشبيه لتوقع الأحداث المستقبلية بشكل غير دقيق.
من خلال تحليل هذه التعبيرات، يمكنك تحسين النطق باللغة الإنجليزية وفهم كيفية استخدام العبارات في محادثاتك.
الفخاخ الشائعة في النطق
تتضمن بعض الكلمات في الفيديو تحديات في النطق قد تواجهها. على سبيل المثال:
- rumination: قد تكون صعبة على غير الناطقين بها بسبب تعقيدها الصوتي.
- forecast: تحتاج إلى التركيز على الحروف المتحركة وكيفية نطقها بشكل صحيح.
- habituation: قد يواجه التعلمون صعوبة في نطق هذا المصطلح بسبب عدد المقاطع فيه.
يمكنك استخدام مواقع shadowing لممارسة النطق، حيث يمكنك الاستماع ومتابعة التحدث لتحسين نطقك. تذكر أن ممارسة المحادثة الإنجليزية تتطلب الاستمرارية والتكرار.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
