Speculations• Habits of perception may offer very large
shifts w/r/t calming.
• Targeting existing, strong networks (i.e. family/highly connected social groups) with prosocial interventions is +++ good.
• Leaving open the possibility of heroic participation, especially when the users are highly motivated and capable, leave room for outrageous outcomes.

What if?
• Stop lights were wondrous?
• Your project teams saw each other as children?
• We taught children the abstract skill of re-mapping stressors into triggers for joy, love, and calm?

[Meta] - Words • It definitely helped lower my stress while I was working on my term papers, etc.
• Baby pictures set up a nice trajectory. (WHOA, baby Reed was awesome, Reed right now is awesome, old man Reed is going to be awesome!)
• "Shining Like the Sun" gave me a more balanced sense of my friends as beings in time. It helped to reduce the anxiety I feel associated with leaving them.
• It may be an unfortunately easy tendency to criticize and condemn your friends and neighbors for their human faults on a day-to-day basis, but it's so fortunately easy to love a child, and to see that we all come from that place of open, joyful, innocence that dissolves all negativity.
• It has filled me with love and admiration for my fellow Ithakans; it helps me ponder and appreciate their past trajectories and their future ones, and brings excitement to think how said trajectories will intersect in the future.In reflection, I find some calmness and resolve at the prospect of Ithaka 1.0's dispersal
