00:44 < kanzure> "Much recent research suggest that willpower-- the capacity to exert self-control-- is a limited resource that is depleted after exertion."
00:44 < kanzure> "We propose that whether depletion takes place or not depends on a person's belief about whether willpower is a limited resource."
00:44 < kanzure> say what now
00:45 < kanzure> i guess this is the most direct way to tell someone that their belief in willpower is bullshit
00:46 < kanzure> (i'm not sure if i have ever known someone to believe they had unlimited/infinite willpower who was also able to back it up with physical results)
00:46 < Utopiah> guess that's a strict proof for The Secret (morning humour warning)
00:46 < kanzure> s/physical/actual/ digital counts
00:51 < delinquentme_> kanzure, so i've dled a harvard review on business
00:52 < delinquentme_> and they've got findings akin to that
00:52 < kanzure> i am sleeping
00:52 < delinquentme_> the title  is "manage your energy .. not your time"
00:52 < delinquentme_> sleep? ^^^^
00:52 < delinquentme_> gj
00:53 < ybit> delinquentme_: linkage appreciated
00:54 < kanzure> i continue to find all of these theories of mental energy and willpower and self-control to be very lame
00:54 < kanzure> and insufficient.
00:54 < kanzure> so i wouldn't take much stock in them.
00:54  * kanzure goes back to sleep
00:56 < delinquentme_> thereeee we go

00:56 < delinquentme_> if it works for you use it
00:56 < delinquentme_> if it doesnt
00:56 < delinquentme_> dont

02:41 < jrayhawk> There are a lot of hormonal and energy factors that could be loosely thought of as 'willpower' being 'used up'
02:44 < jrayhawk> But, yes, 'will' is generally a label used in agency-oriented thought processes rather than rational thought processes and, as a result, gets associated with all manner of magical thinking.
02:46 < jrayhawk> It has plenty of semantic value in its ability to import rational concepts to nonrational minds, so it's actually fairly impulsive and ignorant to declare it worthless.
02:48 < jrayhawk> I guess I should start using 'idea-oriented' rather than 'rational'
02:49 < jrayhawk> since 'rational' and 'irrational' and 'nonrational' have unpredictable value implications

07:21 < kanzure> hooray for lee
07:21 < kanzure> (lee smolin)
07:22 < kanzure> jrayhawk: but none of that helps elucidiate whether or not there is an actual physical basis to 'willpower' in any useful sense
07:22 < kanzure> hormonal levels is like saying "chemical levels"

15:56 < fenn> interesting that modafinil.com is owned by david pearce
15:57 < fenn> one would have expected cephalon to file some trademark something or other, but maybe they prefer all the 'unofficial' info
15:58 < fenn> according to some anecdotal articles i've read, modafinil is basically synthetic willpower :\

19:15 < QuantumG> if you watch one video about space this week, watch this one. Watch the whole thing: http://bit.ly/ld1BQp
19:23 < ybit> QuantumG: what if i watch one space video this year, is it worth it? ;)
19:23 < QuantumG> yup
19:34 < JayDugger> ybit, yes.
19:35 < JayDugger> QuantumG--what's the origin of Greason's quote at 12' or so, the "fields of Pellinor" and the "the enemy in the East"?
19:36 < QuantumG> I didn't get it either..
19:39 < kanzure> it's been 2 years since my dad passed away and i'm still finding extra IRA accounts all over the place
19:39 < kanzure> .. and other instruments that i haven't ever used
19:40 < kanzure> it's strange.
19:40 < JayDugger> Found it, it comes from Tolkien's "Return of the King," and it refers to a tactical victory that lacks strategic effect.
19:41 < JayDugger> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Pelennor_Fields
19:41 < JayDugger> My sympathies, Kanzure.
19:41 < JayDugger> That must be awkward and inconvenient. I dread doing the same for my parents.
19:42 < kanzure> there are legal issues popping up (possibly stolen money, etc. etc.) that i might have to go fight in court
19:43 < JayDugger> Gack...even worse.
19:44 < JayDugger> I hope it ends well for your family and for you.
19:45 < QuantumG> JayDugger: oh, that's why I wouldn't get it :P
19:47 < kanzure> i don't really understand the point of having multiple schwab/etrade/ameritrade/fidelity accounts
19:50 < kanzure> i'm also not sure how to get to the part where i own dwave's ass
