Mihaliy ted talk
Nova Scotia,
Guys, surf in jNuray in Nova Scotia,
Show danger no reward, but experience flow so do it over.
Doing going love to do, caries along by current. = flow.
Phenomenology experienced. Learning, listening.
Emergent in. Doing activity, motivation intrinsic
Not to get paid, or social currency, but do it anyway

Effortless action, stand out in life.
Games sports etc facilitate flow. Because they often have these components.

How often and hwhen do we report something like flow?
Plot skill and challenge, Low = apathy Skill high, challenge low = bored Challenge high skill low = anxious Challenge and skill high leads to flow. Sports and hobbies often get to this.
Leisure vs work study
Paradox of work and leisure
Why?
Think leisure is more likely flow.
Surprisingly during leisure activities only reported flow 20% of a time! challenge an skill gig.
At work high challenge and high skill 60% of the time.
Therefore, 3x more common at work!
Paradox of work and leisure
Why?
Leisure means watching tv! Activity least likely to be associate with flow. Comparable to staring up at ceiling.
Negative about tv,
Wasting leisure time
Work is good for us more challenge and develop more skills
Tv caPtialiIzes on
Orienting response, changing stimuli. Cutting, hypnotic.
Antithesis of flow experience.
Significantly more relaxed watching tv. Blah experience
Compare reding vs tv
Reading is mcu mer fulfilling,
Cheerful and relaxed still.
More potent. More concentration. More skill.
Consecutive reports. Tv becomes worse and worse the longer you do it! Eusing is the OPPOSITE
Reading more optimal experience.
Class stats
Tv displaced by internet.
Is it pretty much like tv, or like reading.
Well reading I do, but ideo waiting like others or fb probably is like tv.
Mihaliy suggest drawn to tv
Hypnotized by orienting, and natural state of mind without structure or goal is CHAOS
Depressed and anxious if let mind wander. Tv easy fat structure. Mind.
So other activities demand more from us, so we should do them.
K counter Miley tv parasite idea
- It’s ok doing it with others
Rating are more positive, benefit. But true for ANY activity - Life is stressful, helps relax and recuperate.
Nun & uni prof, least stress.
Don’t watch more tv if tough day. It’s habitual
Time series analysis, challenge of day has no influence, nor how aroused or active! Happy sad either
Relaxation post tv, drops, keep with socail leisure activity. Therefore tv becomes like addiction, negatively conditioned. Temporary fix, rebound effect. Therefore relax is a myth.
In other cultures, other activities are flow recuperating from long day. Active flow producing activities. - It’s ok if you watch good shows
Show did not effect experience according to mihaliy
But, shows have become more complex and reached a golden age, can actually make you smarter.
Watching tv make you smarter, but
Textual analysis, shows are more complex generally.
Bunk theere is also cognitive junk.
Single complex thread or complex network. So survivor ok.
Therefore it’s possible now to watch shows more challenging
