Bias Control 2

The same for early and late childhood as well as adolescents. Say "No" firmly when appropriate. Avoid leaving the kid to grandparents (not applicable to all of course) who usually have less energy to train the kid. Help the child adjust the volume of his voice when talking. Remind him constantly to adjust the voice volume to socially acceptable levels. Do not expect patience to develop completely earlier than late childhood since most brains are not wired for Patience and other related Input control skills before that time. Make humanitarian endeavors appear like child's play so that your kid will become more familiar with such activities that it becomes deeply incorporated into the growing environment friendly biosphere culture of the future. Teach him the basic life skills that we lost because of our culture of cynicism and convenience.

What good will a young genius rocket scientist kid be if the economy fails or typhoons wreak havoc and the kid has no survival skills. Does you kid know some form of first aid.. As adults, have you any idea how to do basic life support using chest compressions without breaths? Are we really walking the talk of Loving Life? Or are we stubbornly fixated to our own little addictions that ruin life? Do we have a caring Heart?

As adults, we developed Hearts attached to  ownerships and concepts of hoarding. Even hoarding of special knowledge. Since that time, we have been subconsciously accumulating stuff at a rate more than our skills could find time to use them. We did not develop skills of adding  value to anything we get our hands on and sharing it with others. Those commodities become junk the sooner we crave for the latest thing. We trashed our world while we pampered ourselves. It is now a time to help and give. Stop hoarding. What we have today may all be thrown to waste if everything collapses. No one will ever use those resources that were tucked away for some rainy day if we do not use them now. Care to take a look outside, it's already "raining and flooding".  We will respect your decision if you will continue to fill the environment with waste from totally short lasting commodities that were designed to break down fast. Our world became a "big junkyard" of things of stagnant value  that are withheld from the needy which creates a temporary illusion of scarcity instead of revealing real abundance. This was partly the reason why the global economy was all messed up. That is how we dealt with our possessions, our skills  and so called academic competencies. We kept and held on to them fearing we could lose them if we shared and taught our secrets with the needy others. Look at what you have been accumulating all this time. What are your addictions? Do you really believe that is what you will be doing all your life? Have you tried to do other stuff without necessarily giving up on your first biases or wants? Why not try exploring the kind of satisfaction gained from physical activity if you are the reclusive type? How about real humanitarian projects and causes if you were the narcissistic type? Why not try inner explorations if you are the outgoing kinetic type?

Try not to restrict your preferences because you are actually capable of less self-restrictions than you'll ever know. Yes you can always get a partner who can complement your weaknesses. But if they leave for some reason, you are once again left disabled. Try to learn things you never had before. You do that and you will closely approach being fully interdependent.
