2019.10. Insecure Behaviors

An experience that taught me to look out more carefully for others’ insecurities, to trust others’ explicitly professed self-awareness less.

2019.11.02. Reading: Lorenz, Hendrik. “Natural Goals of Actions”

Thoughts I had reading a paper positing Natural Goals in Aristotle. Natural goals are ones that actions have by being the kinds of actions they are and by occurring in the circumstances in which they do, regardless of the agent being aware of or adopting them.

One of the key parts to living a full, harmonious, and great life – according to Aristotle – is to become an excellent human being. What does it mean to be an excellent human being? To have developed your rationality in line with truth and to have developed the virtues of prudence, generosity, courage, honesty, wit, friendliness, temperance, and magnanimity. Which ones are you working to develop?

Eudaimonia

Commonly translated as "happiness", it's helpful to think of this as 'flourishing', 'thriving', or 'living your best life'. "Eu" is good and "daimon" is a god/spirit that watches over you. So if you live a eudaimonic life, the gods/spirits are watching over your life well :)
