Estelle Platinia few notes on a Linda Rising's talk"Realize up front that this is hard".Cognitive dissonance: contradictory "evidence" causes severe cognitive discomfort.* We are not rational decision-makers * but we are good at explaining after-the-fact why we made a decision – a pattern called rationalization.Two thirds of people will not consider an idea until "somebody they know pretty well, is doing it, is happy with it, talks about it […] so maybe i might think about it". To convince, * you must address: "What's in it for me?" – requires empathy; * you can use the values of your opponent. (Loyalty or fairness?)A pattern of personal touch: walk a mile in the other's shoes Another pattern: "Give it a try" Another pattern: listen Another pattern: ask for something personal<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCD1wmK9oM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCD1wmK9oM</a> via <a href="https://opinuendo.com/@matthew" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@matthew</a><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conversations</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/memory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memory</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/campaigning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#campaigning</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/narratives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narratives</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/storyTelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storyTelling</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morality</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/socialPsych" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialPsych</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/socialPsychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialPsychology</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/facilitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facilitation</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/rationalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rationalization</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#values</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/influence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#influence</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LindaRising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LindaRising</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/morals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morals</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/principles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#principles</a>

Mx VerdaI heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign. I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further. As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there." "Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms." Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.<a href="https://nebula.tv/videos/talefoundry-fiction-about-nobody/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"
