| 20:00:38 | Lucifer | OK, time to start up the chat (again) |
| 20:00:46 | Lucifer | What is the Supergoal? |
| 20:01:02 | Mermaid | define supergoal |
| 20:01:03 | Lucifer | We're talking about both personal ones and the CoV supergoal because they are related |
| 20:01:29 | Lucifer | Supergoals are the reasons that we pursue subgoals. |
| 20:01:37 | Lucifer | Subgoals are the means of achieving supergoals. |
| 20:02:06 | Lucifer | Together they form a hierarchy of goals with a single Supergoal at the top |
| 20:02:23 | Lucifer | The Supergoal is the ultimate reason for pursuing anything under it |
| 20:02:37 | Mermaid | ahh |
| 20:02:46 | Mermaid | you go first |
| 20:03:08 | Lucifer | I've already gone first a couple time |
| 20:03:24 | rhino | it all sounds very abstract... |
| 20:03:56 | Lucifer | rhino, I'm not sure what you mean |
| 20:04:18 | rhino | i did find an easy one. makeing sense of everything. |
| 20:04:29 | rhino | but i am not sure i took everything into account |
| 20:04:32 | Lucifer | Right, that's a good one |
| 20:05:19 | Lucifer | You know the annoying kids game of Why? |
| 20:05:22 | Mermaid | i am afraid i have no supergoal |
| 20:05:33 | Mermaid | asking WHY is never a bad thing!! |
| 20:05:59 | Lucifer | In the annoying kids game version, you keep asking Why? whenever you get an answer. |
| 20:06:30 | Lucifer | Start with why you got up this morning. |
| 20:06:41 | rhino | we don't seem to get a lot of attention |
| 20:06:43 | Lucifer | When you answer that, ask why again, etc. |
| 20:07:33 | Mermaid | and at the end of it, you'll get your supergoal? |
| 20:07:41 | Lucifer | When you can't answer any more, when the reason you give is good just for its own sake, and not a means to something else, then you have a supergoal. |
| 20:08:13 | Mermaid | interesting |
| 20:08:22 | Mermaid | so supergoals keep changing? |
| 20:08:39 | Lucifer | They can, but that's not necessarily a good thing. |
| 20:09:02 | Mermaid | are supergoals supposed to be unachievable? |
| 20:09:10 | Lucifer | It could mean that you haven't really thought about it enough to define your own goals. |
