    1. Curiosity over clash - "I never thought about it like that before"

    I have convos with my coworkers all the time about politics, religion, spirituality, race and gender issues, etc. I’ve learned to listen to them and try to move the conversations in a productive way, by challenging why they believe that way and what experiences led to their eventual conclusion. Often times we both realize we are unequipped with the right data points to make certain conclusions. Even then, there will be times when one party does not budge on their belief even when the adequate facts and logic is presented to them. They don’t want their reality shattered. Human emotion is tricky to circumvent. Even logic and facts don’t change the way people want to believe certain things.

      "Human emotion is tricky to circumvent" (Flame, 2021)...it is right there that emotional intelligence matters. Being able to recognize, understand, and efficiently manage and deal with our and other people's emotions is essential in every aspect of our lives.

    Constructive Conversation: is to understand the other person's perspective
    1. Choose Curiosity over Clash
    2. Development of your ideas through discussion: anchor in common purpose
    3. Goal: encounter expecting everyone to walk out with the same point of view that you walked in with

      It's inspired from a quote by someone that goes something like "the aim of argument should be progress but not war"

    • @victorcates9330
      @victorcates9330 3 роки тому

      Her focus on "progress" risks being disingenuous. She expresses opposition in terms of something that sharpens your argument (rather than the possibility they explode your argument). It risks appealing to people who think they're right and enter the conversation as a means of interrogation (pointedly putting a burden of proof on the other party) or manipulation. She explains it in terms of persuasion at one point. It would be better if progress was defined as "mutual understanding" rather than achieving a particular political end. And it might be preferable if she foregrounded a need for intellectual humility. People tend to assume that the other party is the idiot and risk adopting her ideas in a bad faith way.
      I recall arguments I had with a climate change denier. He didn't have a grasp of the science, but it was an illuminating conversation because he demonstrated that I was parroting environmental messages where I had no citations or understanding of the science myself. If you regard yourself as not purely rationale (even if you're objectively quite bright), then you'll withhold some judgement if the other party doesn't really have an intellectual defence or is constructing an intellectual defence on the fly with the conclusion being the starting point. Or you'll have some sympathy for yourself if the other party has a solid argument that stems from their first principles (and you can't remember your reasons why).

    Almost a noble sentiment. However, progress is nebulously defined. While one could determine it to be "mutual understanding" other people will view it as furthering their political agenda and have this reinforced by her choice to be somewhat mocking with "and boy, do some people's beliefs seem to persevere". The whole thing risks being a ploy. She phrases people who disagree with you as potential allies, rather than the conversation opening you up to their perspective and being their allies. And she ends with expressing it in terms of "world class persuaders", suggesting that the aim is to persuade rather than to be persuaded or just to understand. If you stress getting your way (even accidentally), then you aren't respecting people for the sake of respecting people.
