Do the uncomfortable in #relationships... to make that relationship more beautiful... #Quote 

" Sometimes you have to walk into the uncomfortable.... "

- Bethany Hamilton

Video: invidious.jing.rocks/watch?v=P

" I find in for example, sometimes you have to have the uncomfortable to make that relationship more beautiful,

But a lot of us want to avoid that and stuff, and in the long run that just makes the relationship less beautiful and less meaningful and less filled with depth.

And then eventually that relationship may dissipate. "

#DoubleCrux #Game for #Conflict #Resolution in #Relationships and More Productive Debate... 

A Strategy for Mutual Understanding [updated Sunday]

Developed by CFAR
(Center for Applied Rationality)

The goal is to simply pin down where exactly two people disagree.

To pragmatically go through the tensions in Truthseeking.

================
used:
================
1. Find a disagreement with another person
2. Operationalize the disagreement
3. Seek double cruxes
4. Resonate
5. Repeat!

" important is that even when people are "wrong," they are usually partially right "

in =
Towards

================
MAIN LINK TO SOURCE
+ MY AFTER IN THE REST OF THIS POST
================
🔗 1/ rationality.org/resources/upda

[below is the same cross-posted info in case the link above doesn't work and links at the end of this post as extra writing]

🔗 2/ LessWrong [cross-posted from 1/] lesswrong.com/lw/o6p/double_cr

=================
WHAT IS A "CRUX" ?
==================

A "crux" usually means important point, but in this context it is any fact, if they believed differently about that fact, then they would change their conclusion in the overall disagreement. Each person offers a way to change their mind with something smaller in the disagreement.

A "double-crux" is a crux is a fact for both parties that would help them change their mind.

====================

█ My own example (I made up) is about Solar Panels "I do not believing they work long term"... "but I'd be convinced if regular people have posted somewhere more concretely their long-term experience or find a manufactured that has tested 1000's of them to see the real rate of failure / life expectancy."

"We can't just trust fairly new technology or Chinese hit-and-miss quality".

Even though there is not much else choice for "solar" or "portable" electricity that's the main thing

====================

(I did write more in this section below but is really not needed and only as I started thinking deeper about solar panels - you can skip this next part...)

====================
SO FOR EXTREME CONVINCING I'D NEED SOME MORE METRICS

"I'd feel much better and be convinced a lot more if we could:

✔️ Work out ourselves how much a solar panel costs in oil energy itself
+ time in manufacturing
+ what metals and other materials are in it
+ from where they comes from...
+ facts given in a reliable way -

....then I might be convinced solar panels are not a gimmick or extension of oil !!

====================
⚠️ WHAT'S MY PROBLEM
WITH THIS METHOD?
====================

⚠️ MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS FINDING SOMEONE WILLING TO DO THIS WITH - MOST OF MY LIFE PEOPLE HAVE SILENTLY AVOIDED AND RESISTED ⚠️

====================

but.... if you do find someone....

"... that feeling you get when you genuinely change your mind... "

" The idea is to get you and someone you disagree with into a situation such that hopefully one of you will be able to change your mind. It is genuinely one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had... "

- Eric Herboso

ericherboso.org/2016/01/the-do

" First, you need a friend who's willing to do this with you. It only works if you're both intellectually honest, willing to change your mind if presented with sufficient evidence, and excited about the progress of getting closer to truth... "

" But even in these "failures", I've found the double crux game to be an immensely rewarding experience, because it usually helps both sides to understand the perspectives of each other much more. "

Pete Michaud points out that you can use the game to resolve cognitive dissonance by examining your internal epistemic rationality, or even to build deep, sustainable caring by playing between the parts of you that thinks some part of the world matters and parts of you that are afraid to look in that direction.

in =
Towards

====================
DEEPER: ASKING TO BE
CONVINCED
====================

" In a debate I am challenging the other person for their best arguments, which I probably won't find immediately convincing. However, I can then ask myself "what should be added to their argument that would convince me? "

lesswrong.com/posts/isDnrPdRaX

===================
OTHER QUOTES SIMILAR
OR USEFUL TO METHOD
===================

" Ultimately, each move should be in service of reversing the usual antagonistic, warlike, "win at all costs" dynamic of most disagreements.

If we can move the debate to a place where, instead of fighting over the truth, we're collaborating on a search for understanding, then we can recoup a lot of wasted resources.2

The Umbrella Ethic of Good Faith — Nell Watson

The space remained sacred. I knew it had different rules, and did my best to follow them. When I was incorrect, they explained. Use 'I' statements. Things about your own beliefs, your models, your feelings. Things you know to be true. Pay attention to your body, and how it is feeling, where things come from, what they are like. Report it. At one point one participant said they were freaking out. I observed I was freaking out. Someone else said they were not freaking out. I said I thought they were. The first reassured me they thought there was some possibility we'd survive. Based on their prior statements, that was an update. It helped a little.

#Better #Disagreement Guide + Play #Taboo Game 

Encourages using Dictionary words for expression

1█ Find something you disagree about:

Same Word, different meaning?
Equivocation / vague ?
Talking past each other ?

Bring disagreements about facts to the the surface, or cause them to disappear in semantics

2█ Play Taboo Game
Hasbro(TM) version: Guess a word without using it or synonyms
Avoid Arguments over definitions / semantics
Dissolve disagreements by defining your terms or...
Taboo the disputed term and make your arguments without it

Governments installing new people [almost anyone] and new population to replace existing population as we are too expensive / having high expectations and standards... 

Allowing criminals or anyone different to existing population into countries are deliberate to change the country’s demographics.

Even those usually not allowed can suddenly be allowed to flood the market as "new fresh" workers who are prepared to undercut the existing workforce and usually always follow and accept since it's better than their war-torn country. They will accept almost anything so making it competition with existing expensive workers changing culture again for profit.

Suddenly you see Africans shipped to Sweden or places around which almost certainly wasn't by chance !

Image for reference only.

Usually the existing population has standards and higher costs no longer wish to pay - So "get the next lot of freshies in" almost like modern banana boats (none of this is racially intended to be offensive and people do use race against others).

"It's not just war, it's business" 

Just to reflect the temporary nature of what business is as mostly a money-minded mentality of people for power or mutual greed.

Rather than working on mutual things THAT LAST, things are done the cheapest way or brutal way with lack of any attempt to caring, educating it's people and usually all attained through force or indirect kinds of monopolisation. and itself being one of the them and directly funding .

Often funding both sides.

and big groups know as "companies" (all meanings) who see each other as friends or comrades one day and suddenly replaceable / killable / cashing them in the next. 🔫 🤑

Even if this is hard to imaging if now one is the other... it's still just normal / regular for one "company" to try absorb / kill another in such a deliebrately faulty / negative model of economics ( ) needing such levels of death for things to "grow" (or simply happen again) and regularly see in history of every empire to repeat itself... unless one day we get out of such harsh debt-creation and "market-based" economics sucking everything hard as extraction and leaving individuals and nature for dead (same war different harder / softer games)

So I really wouldn't be surprised if they should hands suddenly for something more mutually beneficial...

➡️ The Lesson here?
Business itself (the Selling / Buying / Renting of people) and selling out of nature and various sacred things is the bad-doing of things as purely for profit i.e. government and bank's politics not yours / economics as the basic standard for everything else built on top. It's not a charity you know! But do send us your donations !

I don't have the answer for if Ukraine were to become a puppet state or the same copy as every other country if it wins waging war on it's people / screwing them hard for their money. This kind of war is more realistic than or example supermarket wars or British Gas Company increasing heating costs on people right before winter lol 🔥

Even between enemies, many deals / "cease-fires" have been made... but still the war goes on even in peaceful countries drawing things out in other deals...

When Rumi said "I will meet you there" he said also said "meet me online so we know which garden you will be in"!... 

on what as the below says:

"Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.
- Rumi

The quote is probably more accurately about right and wrong and meeting in beautiful place together, sharing "as the middle perspective" or entirely just "beautiful place" as the view for things without right and wrong...

...but I go for my own interpretation that we need to do the middle ground or other perspective AND go to the garden to meet in person also !

TLDR; Going to any garden of thought might be easy but practicing talking longer together is the art we also need do practice of online beforehand also!

Of course online more privately too not etc but and ,
or protocals.

⚠️ 💥 Can't just do short text talking !! 💥 ⚠️
That always = war / shallow depth / misunderstanding and often lots of it which is longer than clearer long text or safe audio chats !

When Rumi said "I will meet you there" he also could have said "meet me online before so we know which garden we will be in!... so we don't get lost in the wrong one for hours and hours calling each other when we get there !"

Banks are like buckets with holes given to people... 🕳️ 🏦 :Pipe_left: %'s💰 adn like bad maths... 

Deliberately faulty mathematical equations allow people to build on debt and are mostly to keep people working... for the bank.

(i.e. Aside from the little good itself and are full of holes and because " " itself is different to what most people think it means as value and not debt mostly).

People and bank and the whole system can't pay for itself so therein lies the or false pretenses which isn't positive (actually it's since debt is negative) so all bad stuff tends to roots accordingly and snowball into .

Get rid of banks or minimise and see the justice balance better

HARD WORK VS. #BANKS 

ARE LIKE A LEAKING SYSTEM

YOUR MONEY IS IN THE BANK RIGHT MAKING MORE DEBTS FOR BANKS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD

(*MULTIPLE* LOANS FROM JUST ONE LOT OF MONEY WHICH IS BAD MATHS / LOAN WHAT YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE)

THIS CHEAPENS YOUR MONEY AND DILUTES IT AS THERE IN MORE DEBT IN THE SYSTEM THAN ACTUAL MONEY AND SUDDENLY FROM YOUR SMALL AMOUNT THERE'S LOTS OF DEBT.

BANKS SIT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SAVINGS AND LEND RECKLESSLY WHILE YOU WORK HARD AND THEY GET OTHERS TO PAY INCREASING DEBTS IN THE WHOLE SYSTEM...

AND WE PAY IF *THEY RUN OUT* OF TOO!

" Green Energy " servers... ? Renewable Energy... ? + FairTrade exists... ? 

" Our servers are powered by 100% Green Energy " ... Do you believe it?

anarchistfederation.net / :anarchy: @AnarchistFederation

Is it a claim too far with 100%?

Maybe all is now consider "renewable" because all Planet is somewhat "renewable" ??

?

Usually with most controversial products like or etc, we don't see where it comes from or goes.

And this is most of the challenge as a kind of rebranding,

or "Kinder to forests" etc might be real or just the same plantations and farms under a new snappy name or new banner simply claiming to be better regulated but is just the same people who got together to create a different impression / aesthetic).

IS it just two word put together as "fair" and "trade" but fairness never part of business?

This is much less crueler than it was before, we promise and it's totally a new centre and not the same old thing as before... we create the impression it's a whole new thing with packaging on the front or for some new sloagans!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_tra

Is it just talk / packaging?

"Most notably for handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, wine, sugar, fruit, flowers and gold..." from same places as before... allegedly under more fair wages or rules etc.... ?
