According to researchers, being a compelling communicator boils down to projecting two qualities: warmth and strength. Being compelling is important, but it doesn’t help you to navigate potential conflict.

Nonviolent communication does. In fact, practicing NVC can lead you to completely rethink your values, but more on that later. Perhaps the biggest benefit of the nonviolent communication model is that it gets you to focus your attention in more productive ways during potentially heated exchanges.

0 comments on "Understand how other people think: a theory of worldviews."

A libertarian, a socialist, an environmentalist, and a pro-development YIMBY watch an apartment complex being built. The libertarian is pleased – ‘the hand of the market at work!’ – whereas the socialist worries that the building is a harbinger of gentrification; the YIMBY sees progress, but the environmentalist is concerned about the building’s carbon footprint.…

“…ask yourself — when was the last time a piece of internet content asked you, “how well do you understand your subconscious mind” and truly meant it?

In what other cultural medium can you find the deepest libidinal channels of the brain truly laid bare, with the quarterly pay-per-click revenue report to back them up?

Have you lately exercised your deep-seated impulse to view an image of a weeping soft-cooked egg sitting on top of the pimple-encrusted face of Uma Thurman?
What are you waiting for?

Into the chumpools. The fetid ball of soggy electric fat at the other end of your clicking finger will thank you for the workout.

Post thumbnail

If I am doing this work, to link into a network of conversation, why don’t I optimise the experience?

I would need to be clear about what I was optimising, it’s not income and it’s not exposure. What is it?

  • connect with people who have exciting ideas and education
  • connect to people who are doing things or will be doing things
  • a feed of information

The experiment is still to communicate peer to peer rather than broadcast BUT perhaps broadcast has value in finding connection

Broadcast has a negative value when it engages me with connections that are not focused on the project

If we check the cited document, we find to says:

“The United States has also worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health, providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades. The collaborative programs have focused on improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation. ”

0 comments on "(PDF) Robert Rosen’s anticipatory systems"

Robert Rosen instituted a rigorously mathematical treatise on the subject of anticipatory systems, the theory of which provides the conceptual basis for foresight studies. This article is an expository introduction[1]. The ubiquity of anticipatory systems in Nature is explained. An anticipatory system’s present behavior depends upon ‘‘future states’’ or ‘‘future inputs’’ generated by an internal predictive model. This apparent violation of causality is, however, simply an illusion. The topic of anticipatory systems in particular, and methods of relational biology in general, provide important tools for forecasting and planning.
