The
French word for worried is inquiet. The German word for memory is erinnerung.
More thesaurus than foreign if you look at the substance. Jonathan Haidt talks
about the Elephant and the Rider. Daniel Kahneman talks about thinking fast and
slow. What is it that we take from the conscious level and soak into our
inners? Is there a quiet focus or a noisy angst? Haidt points out that the
Elephant is in control, and the Rider just gives suggestions. Our conscious
slow thoughts are the things we sit with. The things we dwell on. The things we
chew. The training we follow. The Rider can train the Elephant by being
conscious of the things we do every day. The habits. The scripts. The rhythms. The
beat. The Elephant will listen to words that are whispered consistently and
over a long period of time. Through a process of bringing in. Erinnerung.
