Discussion article for the meetup : Ugh Fields

WHEN: 17 April 2014 07:00:00PM (-0400)

WHERE: 2411 N Roxboro St 27704

We'll be discussing Ugh Fields: what they are, how they keep you from accomplishing stuff, and how to recognize and reduce them. As always, RSVPs are appreciated but not required. We encourage you to show up around 7, and we'll start on-topic content at 7:30. If you're feeling energetic about it, there's a relevant article. Afterwards, we will probably meander over to Fullsteam and be sociable.

I think that it's worth discussing the non-lesswrong term for an ugh field: Anxiety

I noticed that it wasn't mentioned in the original article or comments, but this is a case of people rediscovering what there is already a large field of research on. It may be helpful for learning more.

It's not just aversion, it's an extreme aversion at the System 1 level.
