Very true. People often want to be liked, but we don't give them the opportunity to adjust.
They can't adjust to you, if you don't tell them what you like or dislike.
I think the biggest consequence of teaching good behaviors is fatigue. I am certainly building up my stamina with children, but they're MY kids. I don't know that people can keep up the effort unless they have a personal stake. Although, the reward should be the observation or accomplishment of that good behavior.
Yes, I know what you mean with kids... it can get really, really tiring. With adults, people tend to be less patient and switch to 'punishment' faster if they continue to exhibit bad behavior.
Superb content. I'm the first to admit that my attention span is seriously lacking and I often lose interest in posts that are long and lack substance, but this write-up kept me engaged throughout. It's given me a lot of ideas for adjusting the merit system on the informative side.
Interesting story about Eugene. I can relate in some way because I have grandparents who suffer from memory-based illnesses. The idea of somebody floating around on their own in this world with no idea where they really are is terrifying.
It's interesting how some people can wake up after a comma and find everything back to normal and for others it takes a long time to remember. This whole day has been one of the cloudy days for me. It's interesting how things get into proof of brain sometimes come out of our cloudy brains. It's still proof that we have a brain.
@antonymn I have a confession to make. Once I saw this post this morning, and how long it was, I wanted to read each line to the end, but my lazy mind was telling no.
So I got up, shut down my system, went to the toilet, finished up, prepared cereals for breakfast, power on my system, and read through with a plate of cereals as a reward ......lol
Wow, just recounting this, I found the exact thing you said about routine and reward, does this prove that I have brains?....hehhehehhee
End of confession....lol
This was really cool. Eugene and his ability to retain information if and only if it became a routine. showing signs of healthy recovery yet having difficulty remembering people's names and places.
And then your dad's story, talking endlessly and then blurting out the details that should not be made public
I won't forget Henry Molaisons and how his illness was similar to that of Eugene but Eugene showed different results.
I must say Eugene had a supportive family, and doctors who were committed to helping him get through everything, and probably get better
For all of us, if there are habits we wish to form, we just need to learn from Eugene, well the difference for us will be that we will be able to point to the toilet if we are asked...lol
And that if there are bad habits we need to break away from, we just need to break the routine just as you said
Please don't tell me you are winning this week's contest again.......frowns, cos that will make me so jealous ...lol
This is the best of all the entries that I have read, now after yours, comes that of @charcoalbuffet, @clicmaster, and @mineopoly entries in no particular order. I bet you it will be daring for @calumam to choose a winner for this week.
Haha. Thanks. Don't worry about the length. This is an exception because 5-6 years ago i tried to write a book (in German). I couldn't even find people to read it for free, so i gave it up, but I still have the prototype saved.
That chapter fit so well into the contest, that I just had to translate and adopt it a little.
I don't know about this week, but I'm struggling with inspiration on next weeks word. I can't think of anything on power yet. I don't think that post will be a masterpiece. Your chance to strike! :)
You should check @fireguardian 's post, btw. His poem should definitely be up there in your list
Oh really?? There is already a word for next week, and I am not aware......wow
I will definitely check out his post, maybe it slips my memory cos I have read a lot of paradox for the week......lol
Can I read a copy of that book of yours? Please
Edit: I swear his poem was short yet informative. Can you imagine that I was hypnotized in to reading it again when he ordered us to do so at the end of the lines?? hhehehehhe
Yep. Calumam put the next word already in the last post, so that we had longer to prepare.
I only translated that one chapter. I might translate more chapters for POB, when the opportunity arises.
If you do speak German, the answer is still no. Lol. I'm not confident enough to share it, yet. As we discussed in your post, everything we did five years ago, feels pretty cringey.
Yeah. That poem got me good, too. I was critical about it at first, thinking "Oh. Another poem that doesn't rhyme." But the longer I read, the more I got into it and its' aesthetics.
I didn't really get it, reading it backwards, but at that point, you just have to give it credit, for getting you to do it.
Yep. Calumam put the next word already in the last post, so that we had longer to prepare.
oh, I think I remember him saying something like, the entries will be judged if it comes at the beginning of the new week, and not before. Thank you for the reminder
If you do speak German, the answer is still no. Lol. I'm not confident enough to share it, yet. As we discussed in your post, everything we did five years ago, feels pretty cringey.
hehheee....no offense taken. I will just wait until when you have the courage to publish it, then get my copy. But don't take too long to make up your mind, cos I will be waiting.
Yeah. That poem got me good, too. I was critical about it at first, thinking "Oh. Another poem that doesn't rhyme." But the longer I read, the more I got into it and its' aesthetics.
I didn't really get it, reading it backwards, but at that point, you just have to give it credit, for getting you to do it.
Lol. I give him my 100% credit. I have been convinced.....hahahhahhahaha
I actually read the whole thing! On seeing the tittle teaching a man without memory, I was already forming some ideas so I read on to see if you'd prove me right, and you did!
Habits and routines are the way to go. I just don't really know how to teach someone to have a habit, bit I just knew it would have to be habits and routines.
Even for people with their complete memory, habits and routines are really good for learning. I myself have come to find how easily I learn song lyrics and remember some stuff I know from songs I learnt when I was only about 4-5 years old. It's all the routine stuff. A breakthrough research really has to be conducted in order to take advantage of this, or maybe it has been conducted and I don't know. I gotta go run searches 👍
Great. That you liked it. :)
Yeah it's pretty much just repetition of the same structure. Same trigger, same habit, same reward everytime. We're basically like pavlow's dog.
Great post. I am trying to get in the habit of posting more often after taking some time off Hive. Oh also this might be a weird segway but I read your winning post from last week's challenge where you were recommending Gary Vee and was wondering if you had looked into his Vee friends project at all?
Thanks! I have no idea what you're talking about, though. I have to admit, I haven't read Gary Vee in a long time. He's seems more of a short term motivation guy to me and I don't really have his entrepreneurial spirit.

Eugene Pauly died in 2008. Larry Squire became a member of their family as both he and other researchers frequented their home well over 100 times to perform cognitive skills testing on Eugene. Eugene was always polite and was entranced by the computers or other electronic devices that doctors used to perform tests on him. In life, he was a loving husband, father, and great human being. After succumbing to the viral encephalitis that consumed his memory, he became legendary.
Great writeup and it got me thinking how people don't encourage good behavior or discourage bad behavior in real life enough.
Like if we want to see more of a certain behavior, we should reward it when we see it and the opposite is true as well.
Very true. People often want to be liked, but we don't give them the opportunity to adjust.
They can't adjust to you, if you don't tell them what you like or dislike.

Thanks. Looking forward to your ideas. :)
Yeah. It is pretty scary. It gives me some comfort, that you can have a decent life, as long as you have built healthy habits beforehand.
It's interesting how some people can wake up after a comma and find everything back to normal and for others it takes a long time to remember. This whole day has been one of the cloudy days for me. It's interesting how things get into proof of brain sometimes come out of our cloudy brains. It's still proof that we have a brain.
You gave a very interesting mix of paradoxes (in general). People need to understand better what they are about.
Great writing, @antonym.
Thank you very much, good sir.

I wish you luck in the contest buddy.
Very perceptive, I am indeed up against it this week, lol.
You idiot calumam, you should have had the word paradox loaded up for the first introduction of the Merit System.
Funnily enough, having this week to judge without the system has been a fantastic way to see what is valuable when deciding the winners.
hahhahhahaaa.....I can imagine your regrets.....
Belive me with or without the metric system, this entry is the best to me....hehhehehe
Haha. Thanks. Don't worry about the length. This is an exception because 5-6 years ago i tried to write a book (in German). I couldn't even find people to read it for free, so i gave it up, but I still have the prototype saved.

Thank you, edystringz! Don't sell yourself short, though. Your entry on the paradox of youth was very good! :)
Awwwnnnnn.........I am blusing. Thank you very much too.

This is my second time reading your article. It's a great story. Whatever happened to Squire and Eugene? His wife?
Great question. I have no idea. :) I read the story in "Power of habits". That was published 2012. A lot could have happened since then.
Eugene Pauly died in 2008. Larry Squire became a member of their family as both he and other researchers frequented their home well over 100 times to perform cognitive skills testing on Eugene. Eugene was always polite and was entranced by the computers or other electronic devices that doctors used to perform tests on him. In life, he was a loving husband, father, and great human being. After succumbing to the viral encephalitis that consumed his memory, he became legendary.
