What works

Subjective, perspective, dependent, relative etc, etcetra.
True, different things work for different people, But truth works differently for different people? Incorrect, grossly at that. If you’re probably tired of convincing your girlfriend, sister, brother etc, about something, after some while(few years or months) you would give up the idea of doing that. Because you know that they simply won’t listen.  What works for you may not work for others. They are near to you, you care for them, that’s why you think you can help, but you can’t, lot of times, because you simply can’t, don’t think you can because you have just put them above yourself,  you wont.

If we possessed keys to find out when and why and for Who a technique will work best, we will probably reach the over optimization that I always think future will hold out sometime. I am always disappointed when I end my discussions with my sister, she always ends like:  ” There are so many people in this world, why do u want to guide everybody’s actions, why do you think they should think like you, in fact, you belong to that very tiny % of people who think like this”. Well, first, I was convinced longtime back that I can’t possibly change anyone unless somebody wants to, I realised that why I always spoke about reasons people should reason, was that i was worried only about few around me, wasn’t worried, really, I just wanted things around me to make sense to me in the best possible way, surely not possible all the time, man with blood in his veins, I understood it.

People wont mind  if you’re seasteading, usually, but they would if you’re crossing the borders. A bit of jargon i read somewhere, PDU- perceptually determined utility, something we determine based on our experiences, both of outside and inner world, tries to explain how everyone is  “to each its own”. This theory, if I have interpreted it well, goes on to say that may we are already optimized or programmed to behave in a optimized manner, So whatever result-set that we are getting is based on the best function that our mind is able to come up with and that is what “Works” us.

Conclusion, As incoherent as the post might be, I am just asking if you give chance to yourself when listening to yourself, when you listen to “N” possible decisions that reside inside you and plead for execution. How do u calculate what works for you? Whatever you may call it, practical, theoretical, magical, intuition, do u know what works best for you??
