think of reward
Table of Contents
When deciding to do or not do a thing, some obvious reward and loss would came to mind.
- thinking of loss
- make me redundant to perform the action
- thinking of reward
- make me determined and calm to perform the action
It is worth noting that both thinking are merely worthless(in term of the ideas), but the effect they do to the consciouseness state is note-worthy.
1. interpretation
- primitive instinct to optimization, getting reward and avoiding loss.
- can’t keep track of both reward and loss and calculate which outweight which
- filled with only loss or reward, even only 1 loss or 1 reward.
2. integration
- use with caution – it’s radical tool.
