FVS 36: Setting the Course for your life

relationship development

III. Relationships take work — but that doesn’t mean you should suffer

  • All relationships take work. But not all “work” is good

  • “All couples fight,” but not all fights are good

  • Contempt is a red flag. Resentment is a red flag. Name-calling and low blows and emotional warfare are all loud and proud red flags.

  • All couples get upset. All people have disagreements, frustrations, human emotions that don’t perfectly coincide.

  • The difference between “good” work and “bad” is how you channel this, and whether you see each other as partners or opponents against whom you want to win, overpower, or be “right.”

Kris always delivers a beautiful piece.

2. VIDEO WORTH READING

Everything You hear on Film is a lie — Tasos Frantzolas

  • Sound design is built on deception — when you watch a movie or TV show, nearly all of the sounds you hear are fake.

Fun watch!

3. WHAT IM READING

Skin in the Game, by Nassim Taleb

  • Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

  • Minorities, not majorities, run the world. The world is not run by consensus but by stubborn minorities imposing their tastes and ethics on others.

  • True religion is commitment, not just faith. How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it

Nassim’s books are always too deep for me but I read them still.  Skin in the game explores what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others.
