When I was a child in the 1950s, my friends and I had two educations. We had school (which was not the big deal it is today), and we also had what I call a hunter-gather education. We played in mixed-age neighbourhood groups almost every day after school, often until dark.
"Nothing awakens us to the reality of life so much as a true love," Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother. "Why is love rich beyond all other possible human experiences and a sweet burden to those seized in its grasp?" philosopher Martin Heidegger asked in his electrifying love letters to Hannah Arendt.

As a longtime health reporter, I see new diet studies just about every week, and I've noticed a few patterns emerge from the data. In even the most rigorous scientific experiments, people tend to lose little weight on average.
Twelve years ago, I penned an essay for a Salon series called "To Breed or Not to Breed," about the decision to have children or not. It began this way: "When I tell people that I'm 27, happily married and that I don't think I ever want children, they respond one of two ways.

There are two primary mental shifts that occur in the lives of all highly successful people. Many make the first, but very few make the second. Both of these shifts require a great deal of mental stretching from conventional and societal ways of thinking.
Experts are now looking to the social and environmental causes of the disorder affecting millions.
Exactly today (Dec. 26th 2016) I haven't had a single drop of alcohol or coffee in 27 months. If you're reading this later, you can do the math yourself. A couple of my friends on Facebook & Twitter asked me to write about my experience, so here it is, in a nutshell.

Reversible vs. irreversible decisions. We often think that collecting as much information as possible will help us make the best decisions. Sometimes that's true, but sometimes it hamstrings our progress. Other times it can be flat out dangerous.
We spend a lot of energy looking for shortcuts to save time, and sure, those shortcuts add up. But when I look back, my biggest time regrets aren't spending too much time on Twitter or mismanaging my daily tasks.

When you have a goal — whether it's starting a business or eating healthier or traveling the world — it's easy to look at someone who is already doing it and then try to reverse engineer their strategy. In some cases, this is really useful.
I like to think of myself as a rational person, but I'm not one. The good news is it's not just me — or you. We are all irrational, and we all make mental errors. For a long time, researchers and economists believed that humans made logical, well-considered decisions.
If you're feeling sleepy and want to wake yourself up — and have 20 minutes or so to spare before you need to be fully alert — there's something you should try. It's more effective than drinking a cup of coffee or taking a quick nap. It's drinking a cup of coffee and then taking a quick nap.
If David Tran were a more conventional CEO, he would be a fixture at conferences, a darling of magazine profiles, and a subject of case studies in the Harvard Business Review.
You probably take bananas for granted. In the United Kingdom, one in four pieces of fruit consumed is a banana and, on average, each Briton eats 10 kg of bananas per year; in the United States, that's 12 kg, or up to 100 bananas. When I ask people, most seem to think bananas grow on trees.

Charlie Munger settled into his seat in front of the crowd at the University of Southern California. It was 1994 and Munger had spent the last 20 years working alongside Warren Buffett as the two men grew Berkshire Hathaway into a billion-dollar corporation.
We all know the story. A team creates a groundbreaking new innovation only to see it mired in internal debates. When it is eventually launched in the market, there is an initial flurry of sales to early adopters, but then sales cycles become sluggish.
In the kingdom of apps and unicorns, Rossotti's is a rarity. This beer garden in the heart of Silicon Valley has been standing on the same spot since 1852. It isn't disruptive; it doesn't scale.
It is 9:00AM in our New York City office, and one of us (Jordan) stops by the fifth-floor kitchen to pick up a free piece of fruit — a healthy perk that Weight Watchers offers its employees. When he arrives, he faces a familiar sight: the bananas are already gone and only the oranges remain.

As a teacher who has long witnessed and worried about the impacts of technology in the classroom, I constantly struggle to devise effective classroom policies for smartphones.
Great innovators have always known that the key to unlocking a better answer is to ask a better question—one that challenges deeply held assumptions. Yet most people don't do that, even when brainstorming, because it doesn't come naturally.
By now, the idea that gut bacteria affect a person's health is not revolutionary. Many people know that these microbes influence digestion, allergies, and metabolism.
Over the years, I've adopted many different "positive" habits. To me, a habit is positive when it improves the quality of my life. A lot has been written about forming habits.

"Find something more important than you are," philosopher Dan Dennett once said in discussing the secret of happiness, "and dedicate your life to it." But how, exactly, do we find that? Surely, it isn't by luck.
Your character is defined by values. And your core values are the result of your behavior. Aristotle said it best: For example, when you always tell the truth, you become an honest person. It's as simple as that. And yet, we collectively underestimate the importance of values.

I was a weird kid, and so my childhood weekends were often a bit weird, because our weekends reveal us as we really are. I liked to read in strange places: the stairs of the local church, or by the bins in the lane.
When I was growing up in New York City, a high point of my calendar was the annual arrival of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus — 'the greatest show on earth'. My parents endured the green-haired clowns, sequinned acrobats and festooned elephants as a kind of garish pageantry.
Few people have enchanted the popular imagination with science more powerfully and lastingly than physicist Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918–February 15, 1988) — the "Great Explainer" with the uncommon gift for bridging the essence of science with the most human and humane dimensions of life.
In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which described his three laws of motion. In the process, Newton laid the foundation for classical mechanics and redefined the way the world looked at physics and science.
Please answer me this: Why do we work 8–9 hours a day so that we can earn free time, while we endlessly waste that hard-earned free time? Have you ever looked at it this way? It's an absurd way of living. And yet, everyone with a traditional job lives that way.

SANTA CLARITA, California—Cesar Millan crosses the road to meet me. Two pit bulls, a Chihuahua, and a Yorkshire terrier—named Junior, Taco, Alfie and Kaley Cuoko—follow. Off leash and at heel, the dogs are calm, almost languid. If Millan communicates with them, I do not notice.
If you think that you have to compete for better jobs or more market share, you're as wrong as I was. The idea of competition is engraved in our minds. We believe that we have to compete for the same jobs with others. If someone has a job, that means you can't have the same job.

It's easy to lose perspective when we're facing a thorny dilemma. Blinded by the particulars of the situation, we'll waffle and agonize, changing our mind from day to day. Perhaps our worst enemy in resolving these conflicts is short-term emotion, which can be an unreliable adviser.
Five days ago, Beyoncé stepped outside of the expected pop-idol box and introduced "Formation," a song rooted in her family's mingling of Alabama and Louisiana heritage to create her, a self-described "Texas bama.

One day, when my brother was 18, he waltzed into the living room and proudly announced to my mother and me that one day he was going to be a senator. My mom probably gave him the "That's nice, dear," treatment while I'm sure I was distracted by a bowl of Cheerios or something.
Last night, most of us went to the safety and comfort of our beds before drifting off to a night's sleep. For some, this was the last conscious action before an episode of sleepwalking.
Things are bad, and it feels like they are getting worse, right? War, violence, natural disasters, corruption. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer; and we will soon run out of resources unless something drastic is done.

In the past, time management experts would recommend that you divide up your work into A tasks, B tasks, and C tasks. The concept was to do the A tasks first, then the B tasks, then the C tasks, when you can get to them. If priorities changed, you just changed the order of your As, Bs, and Cs.
For a long time, Ina Garten was a Hamptons shopkeeper who waited upon the wealthy. She has been, for a shorter time, a celebrity chef of some wealth. "Am I a billionaire? Of course not!" she told me recently over tea on the Upper East Side, and then she laughed.

This summer, a friend called in a state of unhappy perplexity. At age 47, after years of struggling to find security in academia, he had received tenure. Instead of feeling satisfied, however, he felt trapped. He fantasized about escape. His reaction had taken him by surprise. It made no sense.
Just as fish presumably don't know they're wet, many English speakers don't know that the way their language works is just one of endless ways it could have come out. It's easy to think that what one's native language puts words to, and how, reflects the fundamentals of reality.

The world of One Shot RPG is filled with monsters. Cosmic horrors have invaded the solar system, threatening all. There's a mysterious substance, scum, that has the ability to transform individuals into twisted beings. The player characters have decided to deal with the scummed, but their options aren't black and white.
Adding More Lore
New players shouldn't have to know a lot of lore to be able to enjoy One Shot RPG. The additional information should be supplementary to the elevator pitch. Important elements should be communicated through gameplay elements and story beats, instead of through walls of text. But, the lore has to be fleshed out first before I can integrate story and gameplay.
Cosmic Horrors
The solar system has been invaded by cosmic horrors, aliens with creepy features that defy biology. They can live in the vacuum of space and have unexplainable abilities. Theorized to originate from Planet X, they have come to our solar system by warping through Pluto. The small ones are the size of elephants, while the large ones are the size of cruise ships. They use the asteroid belt as cover, retreating to it when they aren't assaulting ships and planets. Those that believe in scum also believe that the cosmic horrors are the end result of the substance's infection. They believe that using warp technology has completely scummed the creatures into unrecognizable forms. These monsters aren't what the players fight—they'd be no match—and are best left for the military to take care of.
Cosmic horrors are used to add an overall conflict to the one shot game setting. They are based on Lovecraftian monstrosities and their appearance adds a sense of alien to contrast with the playable humanoid races. The inspiration for including cosmic horrors in the setting comes from a personal place; I tend to draw tentacled beasts, so it was only natural to put them into the setting.
There's no actual proof that scum exists, instead it's only been theoretical. The substance is undetectable, yet its effects can be observed. The theory goes that scum is a byproduct of warp technology, that traveling faster than light somehow creates scum as waste. Because Pluto is an active warp gate, it's releasing a steady stream of scum into the solar system. The substance is making its way to the inhabited planets, and may have already coated everything—nobody knows how much is already present.
Scum has a unique property in that it can twist and corrupt living, sapient organisms. Being exposed to a small amount of scum is harmless. It's only when it accumulates in large quantities that it poses a threat. Scum is somehow able to understand emotions, intentions, beliefs, and motivations. When a person with extreme drive experiences a life-altering event while exposed to a large amount of scum, the substance reacts, changing them. They become twisted, gain abilities, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. The person has become scummed, a monster that's similar to the large cosmic horrors that plague the solar system.
Scummed individuals are not evil. Instead they were people who believed they were doing the right thing who now have access to destructive abilities that they can barely control. The scum has clouded their judgement and has heightened their drive and emotions. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Example of a Scummed Individual
Fifteen years ago a parent's child was almost abducted. Luckily they were paying attention and the child got out of the situation safely. Ever since then, the parent has been on a campaign to raise awareness around the dangers of abduction. They worry for every child's safety and work tirelessly towards their goal. Now their child has moved out, they've become an empty nester, and are coming to terms that they can no longer protect their child. The world is filled with dangerous people, if only they could do something about it. A large amount of scum reacts to this person, twisting them into a monstrous being with new powers.
The scummed individual wants to rid the world of predators, to prevent what has happened to them and their child from happening to any other family. They stalk their neighborhood, looking for anyone they think is displaying suspicious behavior. When their target is chosen, the scummed uses their abilities, in this case the power of suggestion, to lure the victim to their house. The parent has converted their house into a prison, where they use their new physiology to restrain and torture their prey. They're looking for a confession, to validate their belief that their prisoners are a threat to society. When a victim finally admits to wrongdoing—whether the confession is true or not—the monster exacts "justice", and disposes the evidence. To the scummed, any person is a potential abductor, so anyone who enters the area is fair game. The parent, whose goal is to rid the world of predators, has become one themselves—scum has done its job.
Justification for Scum
Scum is designed to be the primary source of horror for the sci-fi and horror adventure setting. What are the story implications if your friends and family could turn into a monster at any time? What happens when you have to confront a scummed loved one? What happens if you gain the attention of a scummed and are now its prey? Its abilities are unknown, they could do anything to you. You're now part of their twisted vision for a better world, and your wellbeing is the last thing they're thinking of.
As discussed in the requirements for a successful one shot rpg setting, there needs to be personal, smaller scale problems for the players to tackle. Scummed monsters are the answer to that. They provide a threat that the players should stop, yet it isn't a world-ending disaster if a few scummed monsters aren't taken care of.
Another goal is that the one shot adventures provide players with morally gray choices, and that the villains aren't necessarily evil. The scummed parent is doing bad things and must be stopped, but their intentions are pure. They believe they are doing good by ridding the world of predators. How the players tackle the problem of scummed individuals is a major driver of story and gameplay decisions.
Scum Fighters
Players take the role of scum fighters—people who believe in scum and are doing something about it. They view it as their duty to stop (or at least investigate) the scummed threat. Each character has their own unique relationship with scum and their motivations for stopping it. Perhaps they found out about scum when their significant other succumbed to it. Another character's best friend may have fallen victim to a scummed. A third character may be a scientist, looking to find a way to prove its existence, with the intent of getting rich off its discovery. Regardless of the circumstances these characters have been branded traitors by the military for actively working against their campaign for the warp drive. The common folk view them as insane—scum is only a rumor after all, and its existence can't be proven. Others even view the characters as heretics or zealots. Does an unprovable force that has the ability to shape life and destiny, that only some groups believe in, sound familiar?
The reason for casting the characters as scum fighters was discussed while developing the elevator pitch. It gives them a hook to go on adventures, grounds them in the story, and gives them a place in the world. Players know what they're supposed to be doing during each rpg one shot, but how they accomplish the goal of taking down the scummed is up to them.
Dealing With A Scummed Monster
How the players will deal with a scummed monster will be one of the main pillars of the story and gameplay experience. The players could decide that the individual has caused so much damage that they must be put down. This would be the most straightforward, yet cruel, option. The players could decide that the scummed's actions and methods are doing more good than harm, and leave them to their own devices. That type of story would be interesting if the characters had to work their way out of the monster's grip first, then reasoned with and got to know the individual. Finally the players could try to "cure" the scummed individual and return them to a less dangerous state.
Curing Scum
How can a scummed be cured? I don't know the answer yet, and it's a topic I'll explore in the next process article. My goal is that curing a scummed should never be the default option. It should have enough balanced benefits and drawbacks that the other options (killing the monster or leaving it be) are also valid decisions. As I've said before, every decision in One Shot RPG should have some shades of gray.
