“It is the shortcomings of game theory (as originally formulated) which force the consideration of the role of ethics, of the dynamics of social structure, and of social structure and of individual psychology in situations of conflict.” GamesIndividualForceSocialSituationRolesPsychologyTheoryConflictEthicsStructureConsiderationShortcomingsDynamicsSocial Structure Book:Fights, Games, and Debates Source: Fights, Games, and Debates
“Neurotics, who cause less distress to themselves and their neighbours than those in the other category, are at war with their own natures. Their right hands are in conflict with their left. Psychotics, and it is those who commit purposeless crimes and prefer death to life, are at war with their environment. Right and left hands strike against the womb that carries them.” WarHandsLeftCausesPsychologyEnvironmentCrimeConflictStrikesCommitCarrieCategoriesDistressWombNeighbourLeft Hand Book:The meaning of treason Source: The meaning of treason
“To understand most important ideas in psychology, you need to understand how the mind is divided into parts that sometimes conflict. We assume that there is one person in each body, but in some ways we are each more like a committee whose members have been thrown together to do a job, but who often find themselves working at cross purposes.” WayNeedsMindPersonsHas BeensImportantIdeasSometimesBodyTogetherJobsPurposePsychologyConflictMembersCrossesAssumingThrownDividedCommittees Author:Jonathan Haidt

“We now have a better biological and psychological understanding of our moral thinking. The idea that we should do what maximizes happiness sounds very reasonable, but it often conflicts with our gut reactions. Philosophers have spent the last century or so finding examples where our intuition runs counter to this idea and have taken these as signals that something is wrong with this philosophy. But when you look at the psychology behind those examples, they become less compelling. An alternative is that our gut reactions are not always reliable.” ThinkingPhilosophyRunningUnderstandingMoralTakenPsychologyConflictPhilosopherIntuitionPsychologicalGuts Author:Joshua Greene
“Don't take anything personally. Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. Their point of view and opinion come from all the programming they received growing up. When you take things personally, you feel offended and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflict. You make something big out of something so little because you have the need to be right and make everybody else wrong.” IfsLifeNeedsFeelsLittlesBigsSeemsBeliefViewsSituationOpinionGrowing UpPsychologyGrowingConflictPoint Of ViewReactionsInsultProgrammingWrongHappy LifeOffendedInsultingViewpointsOffenceFour AgreementsInsults You Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
