Hmmm, I think ‘healthy’ is saying too much. This is one particular way of being psychologically healthy, but in my model you can be psychologically healthy and suffer more than 5 minutes per week and experience inner conflict some of the time. I think this is implicitly making the target too narrow for people that care about getting there and might consider this a reference point.
Also, I’m curious if the depression comment also refers to adaptive depression, like when someone very close to you dies and you need to adapt? (I’m not making a case that prolonged grief is good but I would make the case that grieving for 6 months or so is not psychologically unhealthy).
All the other points seem fine to me ❤️
Thank you for the clarification!
I think I agree this might be more a matter of semantics than underlying world model. Specifically:
Bill.learning = “process of connecting information not known, to information that is known”
Shoshannah.learning = “model [...] consisting of 6 factors—Content, Knowledge Representation, Navigation, Debugging, Emotional Regulation, and Consolidation.” (note, I’m considering a 7th factor at the moment: which is transfer learning. This factor may actually bridge are two models.)
Bill.teaching = “applying a delivery of information for the learner with a specific goal in mind for what that learner should learn”
Shoshannah.teaching = [undefined so far], but actually “Another human facilitating steps in the learning process of a given human”
---
With those as our word-concept mappings, I’m mostly wondering what “learning” bottoms out to in your model? Like, how does one learn?
One way to conceptualize my model is as:
Data → encoding → mapping → solution search → attention regulation → training runs
And the additional factor would be “transfer learning” or I guess fine-tuning (yourself) by noticing how what you learn applies to other areas as well.
And a teacher would facilitate this process by stepping in an providing content/support/debugging for each step that needs it.
I’m not sure why you are conceptualizing the learning goal as being part of the teacher and not the learner? I think they both hold goals, and I think learning can happen goal-driven or ‘free’, which I think is analoguous with the “play” versus “game” distinction in ludology—and slightly less tightly analoguous to exploration versus exploitation behavior.
I’m curious if you agree with the above.
