aaaand we have another wonderful conversation from summer with Steve Chapman

All his art, content, Podcast, talks and wonderful things can be found at:

CAN SCORPIONS SMOKE?

https://www.canscorpionssmoke.com/innercriticonline/

We start with the question:

Why does Steve do the stuff he does?

he lost touch with his intrinsic side until around 35 years

He doesn't make stuff because of the fun because he cant not do them

Example: February Challenge

A Project is like a Flower.

Start and End of a project is just in our minds

everaything is always becoming

because of Dyslexia Steve sees himself as a very good improviser

Do you think it is possible to start an organization to give people like us a "Job"

The projections people put on art

self saboteurs

Education and Kids

4 philosphies as guidance :)

as soon you say 3 things in a talk people get out their pen and papers

1. be fascinated (not only interested!) swim in sharky waters

2. open windows in your world so people can SEE you working fascinated (Andy Matuschak) - interestred papers are interesting

3. learn to live without your means - it is not gonna happen

4. hang out with weirdos and outsiders - self taughts

The Book - It sounds like a lot of micro burning mans

weirdos meet and sparks mor inspiration and fascination

creative resilience talk

the community of outsiders

Popup Radio Station

the portsmouth symphonia - a Talk

Also sprach Zarathustra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJ6anurfuw

Inexpert conference

the Inexpert Conference a structure

steve coached the speaker

get as much into a place of not knowing on stage

https://www.canscorpionssmoke.com/inexpert/

Sound of Silence

the dyslexic monkey mind brought out

the podcast 2 minutes of recorded silence with special guests

100 episodes

The paradox of not knowing

you cannot get good at it because then you would be knowing

"You cant sepnd anytime in nature without being surrounded by death and decay."

Who trains our muscles of stopping or walking away

the quality of the compost

the more it gets a familiar discomfort...

existential philosophy

ernest becker denying death "humans fear impermancne and insignificance" - everything is an immortality project

Book - Rooted - Lyanda Lee Haupt

on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your fear of death

experiment in B2B:

find a team that is open to doing stuff differently - introduce a agenda item "2 minutes and contemplate in which order they would die"

philosophize THIS

Steves Childhood and school

writing stories

the tea group - 4 days for 10 hours with 16 people and 2 fascilitators

what are some signs of the discomfort

feeling like being musunderstood and no logic will help

Zen Monk - Psychotherapist

3 zen monk trades

- bare witness

- not knowing

- compassionate action

the obstacle becomes the path

Sharons Mom:

Raised with the concept of honorable witnessing

Imagine you are the finished article

be inspirable

and retain a childlike level of openness

not wanting to die is kind of Ego-based

The great pause and its opportunities

Imagine the world without humans for 60 seconds

calm the distrubed and disturbed the calms

pandemic was the invitaiotn to do ANYTHING

Keith Johnson -. dont try to be celver - your job is just to be obvious

creative adventures

travelling as a neurodivergent

being overwhelmed by people

or

by expectation

preloading energy

segway into

Book: IMAGINABLE

by Jane McGonigal

course at stanford

muscles for imagination are very well developed in sharon

Sparring in Martial Arts takes the Shock away

like imagining takes the shock away

preparing for blackouts, anxiety

Prepare to being rediculous

Nature and Nurture

Raise kids being on the spectrum

it bothers us but it doesnt stop us

Montessori

Trust

female human animals are people pleasuers

trust own instincts and trust their own selfs

- freunde finden, freunde verlieren, angst davor ablegen, alleine sein

neurodivergent have more experience with taking a punch into the face

"thats the way society is"

as a neurodivergent in FRANCE

with all that kissing on the cheek :)

how much energy it takes to meat the demands of sucial and cultural

idea

RENT A NEURODIVERGENT

"What is your wicked problem?"

TV Series like Scorpion

underapprciated skillsets

like seeing around corners

Don't take anything as gospel!

Analogy: Neurodiversities as Flavors

paté de canada with corn chips and sour cherry

keep your mind open - you know you! you GET TO know you!

ADD/ADS without the Hyperactivity

back off from diagnosis self assessment get to know yourself

don't be too serious about it

self-diagnosing bashing

mac gyvering your way through life

ask on reddit: what neurodiversities do you have that are lesser known?

sharon's mom knew SO much AND was SO competent in using that knowledge 

NEVER tell them they are stupid but find out how they understand the world in a different way

so since most people haven't won the life lottery like sharon with her mom we have more tips:

Sharon's sister: "You are two-faced" and meet yourself for the first time

if a teacher tells you "you cant do it" you can answer "maybe you are just not the right teacher for me"

https://concreteplayground.com/brisbane/arts-entertainment/hannah-gadsby-body-of-work-netflix-special

IMPORTANT: think about your expectations for example: what do you usually do... imagine yourself at home, at work, at a party and what would you do 8 times out of 10? Do you like to be in a ballpark, in a swimming pool or on a race track?

you need the permission to call bullshit

let out who you are is helpful for example to find out HOW to deal with it, how people might react to that, how you can use it

search ADHD on instagram and go down the other hashtags

watch youtube videos and find people you like and can relate to

there is NO one size fits all

laboratory of US

the world is much more aware and you have unlimited ways of discovering and finding your preferred way of communication

what is useful / works for you?

Thrive and not just survive

if something doesn't feel right: question it!

Parenting with Games

Emergent purpose

Evaluation languaging

Experimenting

10 years ago how much would this have effected me?

The normal people and the notnormal people

The ability to selfcalm

acknowledging emotions but going through them

oh that is interesting or an adventure

There is only one way to find out: TEST

view yourself from the outside

asking myself what kind of neurodivergent feats might be at paly here

How do we develop our selfcalming and flowstates in workplaces

Deciding a group isn't for you

use an intro YOU design for yourself and test it

not as an identity

but as HELP for others

introducing yourself as a neurodivergent

s interesting for others AND makes it easier for them

People who are rolling their eyes about others feeling special

Shame 

Hackupy Scham CO2 Fußabdruck Seth Godin

"What did I do to deserve this?"

Reward and Punishment

instead of WOW this is amazing

positivity vs negativity

churches and religion

the bible is like Tarot Cards

Tools

pass along cultural norms

there 

the problem when you are really good at pattern recognition

and contradiction

and what is NOT working anymore

and what is a blatant lie

exclusion

back then help the less fortunate

together we are faster and better than alone

From the Church as a Shame Machine

we get to

How people project things on neuro diverse people

Writing down all Ideas to talk to Sharon about in a HEY SHARON file :)

all people Sharon talks to in the last weeks are ALL neurodivergent

Label / language yourself

it gives indescribable freedom 

Labeling is something powerful

Being labeled by others is great for Alex

then he learns about himself

giving the labels an AMAZING meaning

projecting something on others

example:

not being self confident

people don't show the inner work

being on the spectrum and having the luxury of being able to develop a sense of self naturally

self

identity

ideology

teachers in montessori

empathy in medical studies

Sharon's Mom: council for extraordinary children

THE HORSE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCfndagI_k4

running forward or backward

creativity

Test and Measure Creativity

George Land - NASA 

retain creative capacity

cultural punishment factors

and

losing the pathways in the brain

how can we help other people to reconnect

- meditation

- sport

- taking time and being in nature

reconnect with childhood creativity
