Ep. 201 Burkey on Capacity

During the 48-minute introduction to a discussion of the Capacity manual Michael and Burkey discuss fact checking, managing intent, contractual relationships, accurate communication (that sometimes requires punctuation), the differences between text and speech and the utility of each, and the peril of literal responses to emotional beings.

Eventually they address the Capacity manual and how to communicate our position on the topic ... how difficult it is to correct existing problems without creating new ones, and how writing to a reader is very different from speaking to a listener with whom you have just shared an experience.

It became clear that being able to do something doesn't imply understanding Why you can do something — and the why is important if one wishes to develop the characteristic. The gym can be a perfect atmosphere for discovering Self and ability honestly, it is a place where we may apply philosophy, and give it consequences, a place where you may become (and observe) your true self through effort.

This manual is the result of thousands of workouts, and at least as many questions.
