The same story of Lot’s wife is told by Kurt Vonnegut in #slaughterhousefive

“[Lot’s wife] did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes. People aren't supposed to look back. I'm certainly not going to do it anymore.”

Both the Greek and biblical myth depict the couples pausing to look back at the wrath of their towns. For daring to look, Philemon and Baucis are turned to an oak and linden tree and Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt

I won’t take this personally

Fair to put the highlighter on #ACT though as you tear apart thefouragreements, I do support that.

I will start an ACT thread for us to ponder and discuss!

Maaan, this is like #pokemon #heartgold for me

I love #goldversion so fucking much. Sunk HOURS into it. #heartgold is going to pull on me to do the same

Likewise with #fallout3. I already gave you my 9th grade winter break Bethesda!

@mrgreyspoon.bsky.social Remastered #fallout3 or #starfield??

No that’s exactly what you should do is explore and apply flexibility and your own competence to parse baby out of bath water.

You can’t know what’s useful about a book’s content until you read it. If you’re only ever reading from the gospel of ACT, you’ll miss insights elsewhere

@mrgreyspoon.bsky.social no that is the opposite of what ACT teaches 😂 BUT the whole point of ACT is psychological flexibility.

in this case psychological flexibility is extracting the usefulness of adopting #thefouragreements while acknowledging the explanation is dumb and not aligned with ACT 🙃
