Trust, Respect, Adaptability

23aug

Trust, respect, and adaptability are the themes of my current company annual retreat.

I think about it, amused, at the end of the first day. Here's roughly how I find it funny - it is because I usually apply these exercises in a practicum which would be disgusting to certain people.

As fundamental values, I trust no one, require no respect, and take adaptability for granted. In order to integrate with society, I manage my days like a deck of cards, bartering tokens of virtue for my counterparties' states of mind. Tease a conversation here, counsel a sorry soul there - each trade executes within a market of political-economy. 

Some days are more tiresome than others. In order to maintain long-term strategy, emotional vunerabilities established throughout the day are categorically pruned before bed. If I care about anyone, I make sure I do not care too much, before letting myself fall asleep. There are few passive revaluations in my expenditure of time on social integration.

For the most part I engage with people out of curiosity, otherwise human are typically boring from head to toe in the Maslov Hierarchy. Neither sensation nor virtue strikes me as novel, and mainly I dwell in a world of simpler and stranger things than those ... some might call those concepts, or functions.

Ah, to each their own form of virtue.

信任、尊重和适应性是我目前公司年度务虚会的主题。

在第一天结束时,我想了想,觉得好笑。这大概是我觉得它有趣的地方——因为我通常在实习中应用这些练习,这会让某些人感到恶心。

作为基本价值观,我不信任任何人,不需要尊重,并且认为适应性是理所当然的。为了融入社会,我把日子过得像一副纸牌,用美德换取对方的心态。在这里调侃谈话,在那儿劝告一个可怜的人——每笔交易都是在政治经济市场中执行的。

有些日子比其他日子更累。为了保持长期战略,一整天建立起来的情绪脆弱性在睡前被断然修剪。如果我在乎任何人,在让自己入睡之前,我会确保自己不会太在意。我在社会融合上花费的时间很少有被动的重估。

在大多数情况下,我出于好奇与人交往,否则在马斯洛夫等级制度中,人类通常从头到脚都很无聊。感觉和美德都没有让我觉得新奇,主要是我生活在一个比那些更简单、更奇怪的事物的世界中……有些人可能称之为概念或功能。

啊,每个人都有自己的美德形式。

CSR, Citizenship, Civics, Civil Society

Every so often a new friend will try to explain to me that I should have more empathy, and I have to adjust their perspective to understand that I make a lot of effort to reduce empathy, so it is an active strategy, not an accident. If they keep going, perhaps about how I shouldn't quantify everything ... I simply point out it is a matter of cultural values : I do not value for example, humanism, or filial piety ... and I don't try to make the people around me discard those values, even if I think my culture is the best culture for civilisation. So we leave it to history to decide what is good, by waiting to see what is proven to be bad by eventual extinction. This is the model of good citizenship, I think you should die but I do not kill you, because I believe you must have a fair chance to kill yourself.
