reprocity.org
please help!
I'm looking for the site 'reprocity' possibly .org, .net etc.
This was a fantastic site that had some real brain melting ideas regarding thought, mind, learning, life etc.
One of the subjects that was written about was a discussion of the different types of learning methods - mapping and packing.
Packers are people who attempt to stuff their heads full of knowledge, thinking hat if they know enough they will always have the right answer to hand.
Mappers learn a bit about this, a bit about that, but are always mindful of the links between information. Packers learn ever more and have great memories. Mappers learn ever more and have startling insights into the nature of things making intuitive connections between seemingly unrelated areas of knowledge.
No one is a pure mapper or packer.
Another subject tackled on the site was that of 'M0' - a 'disease' of the modern age. This related to the fact that modern times allows us idleness and passiveness to a degree never before attained. The idea is that our brains, when bored, secrete endorphins (or somesuch) giving our brains (not us...) a buzz. We get hooked on this feeling and seek to prolong it by repeating the actions that lead to it in the first place - passivity.
Forty years later we 'wake up' on our couch watching some crap TV; M0 in action. The endorphins make us happy to let our lives drift by.
recrocity.org was a really great site and if anyone knows of it still existing, or where it can be found (the writings that is...) then please, please, let me know.
Update: AHA!!!
reciprocality.org
I wasn't too far off with the URL
