Practicing Mediocrity - Alice Sparkly Kat

I believe in mediocrity. It’s one of the reasons why I write so much. If I were trying to make everything monumental, if I believed that everything I did was important, then I wouldn’t get anything done. I wouldn’t know how to do anything. I believe in mistakes and spelling errors and not looking something over before I hit post. I believe in my own shitty writing. I used to work with teens. One of the worst hangups that any young person has is that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. One of the things that gets in the way of their genius has to do with this belief that something isn’t worth doing if you don’t do it well. Well, I believe in doing things badly, in just doing them, and in not doing them well.

This year, she co-authored a study that looked at whether lonely people view the world differently than non-lonely people, specifically among college freshman. The research was published in the journal Psychological Science. She and her collaborators found that while non-lonely people were all similar in their neural responses, lonely people had responses that were really different – not just from the non-lonely group, but also from each other.
