Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. It's almost funny how we need to remind peple to consider context, like it's not the default setting for human interaction. How can we make this a universal algorithm?
I appreciated your comment. It is "almost funny" isn't it? And yet, as you note, it clarifies a lot when we put words to it. I think what you're pointing to is something I've noticed as well... that whatever it is we know inside and out -- especially things related to reclaiming our humanity or, as you say, returning to the optimum "default settings" -- we will be prompted to articulate that teaching in an accessible, clear, and compelling way. I'm thinking of a gazillion examples in my mind, but to get to your point... How can we inspire more support for optimum ways of being, in this case, using context to individualize wellness?
You use the word algorithm which I think can only be a component of our approach. On a related note, I've learned that centralized education and regulation aren't guaranteed to ensure the best strategies are shared and utilized because these systems are corruptible and corrupted. So we need to build from the ground up and hold ourselves and others accountable (as opposed to offloading responsibility to a centralized system). I've spent more than a decade curating and organizing knowledge and ways of thinking that support providers in serving others with that type of responsibility in mind. I've developed a structure and support site that is designed with this philosophical approach in mind - to not limit a person's study but instead to help them flexibly get to the best sources and get the most out of their time.
Then I realized I need to EXPLAIN the thinking that is behind this part of the solution that I offer. These posts have been my attempt to do that.
