To name it is to tame it: A handy new psychology term every day, A psychology word-of-the-day service. Terms I coin for tracking motives in thought and conversation. Psychology terms for reading between the lines of everyday life with greater comprehension. Ironic mind candy for people who aren't afraid to introspect about human nature. --- • I’m Jeremy Sherman PhD, a strategic consultant since 1997, specializing in dealing with jerks and doubts. • For a free trial session, email me at [email protected] • 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤: facebook.com/jeremysherm • DEALING WITH JERKS • jerkology.net • BLOG: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/bl... • BOOK: What’s Up With A**holes?

That makes for great engineering but it’s no more rigorous than supernatural explanations. • For 27 years, I’ve worked closely with Harvard/Berkeley biologist/neuroscientist Terrence Deacon on developing fully scientific explanations for phenomena simply assumed by other researchers. • Some examples: • LIFE’S STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE: DNA and natural selection don’t explain it. We have a fully natural explanation for how self-regenerating beings (like us) could emerge from chemistry and evolve (by natural selection) the capacity to use DNA molecules. • MOTIVATION: Psychologists just assume it. When they see effort they assume a motivation which is like assuming a “soul.” We have an explanation for what effort and motivation are physically is: not something added to chemistry but the way chemistry can limit itself by channeling energy into work to regenerate itself. • NARCISSISM: Psychologists say that if you’ve got these symptoms you have a thing called Narcissism. I have an explanation for how humans having evolved language can imagine the ideal, see where we fall short, and self-idealize to compensate. It’s something we all do. I study how it gets out of hand and becomes addictive • My book on our research: Neither Ghost Nor Machine: The Emergence and Nature of Selves (Columbia University Press, 2017) https://a.co/d/9ZNyT7E • My PhD is in decision science. I’m a soulnerd with a deeply connected heart and head. This stuff is my non-spiritual path. I live and breathe my work. It’s not some abstract intellectual exercise. • Nor is it art. Science is a campaign to find natural explanations for all natural phenomena – natural, not supernatural about which you can believe anything. • Still, I try to make this stuff fun, intuitive, and useful. I’ve written over 1,100 blog articles for Psychology Today on practical decision-making and the stuff we all go through (11 million views). Their editor-in-chief calls it, “Mind candy for those who aren't afraid to think.”
