Disagreement most often stems from incorrect assumptions of another's perspective, or ignorance of another's assumptions about you. #wisdom #disagreement #communication #gettingalong

Nice write-up of a new study concerning disagreement and effective persuasion.
One quote: "... a new study illuminates three factors that can lead to better, more persuasive disagreements with others. It turns out that women, liberals, and those with more intellectual humility seem to be more convincing."

Personally, when I know a conversation is going nowhere, I mute people rather than blocking them. Its inherently less hostility inducing and has the same material impact on your mental health.

John Overdeck and David Siegel,
A duo strong like an iron wheel,
Created a hedge-fund giant called Two Sigma,
Bringing them wealth like an ounce of magnesium,
But now their disagreement's so strong, no one knows where they'll belong.

Place our dispute on a continuum, it becomes a matter of degree. Let's talk. Frame our dispute as a dichotomy, it becomes a matter of identity. Let's go to war.

"Myths encouraging individualism habituate many people to collude in anger's dis-location from public life into private malady. Characterized as merely personal, anger may be mis-recognized as a maladjusted individual, not a malfunctioning culture that rational people ought to experience with outrage" (Olson, 2011, p. 288).

I am trying to figure out how to best display diversity of opinion within @nicw; for example, we are writing a short piece responding to a #WelshGovernment consultation on #flooding, and we want Commissioners to be able to dissent from a majority opinion.

Any thoughts or experience gratefully received!

"It's a finding befitting of a society of people convinced they're right, when they're actually wrong."

New post: Some Ways of Measuring Quality of Conversation

While it may seem a generic Peace & Love message, it has very practical implications.

In a team/org one cannot _sense_ and respond effectively when people don't speak freely and deep listening and empathy are lacking. No tool/AI can fully make up for that.

This is true in our orgs, as well as in our online and in-person Complexity community. Our social skills have consequences.

#Complexity #HumanComplexity #Safety #Diversity #Disagreement #CoCreation #SoftSkills

Popularising Complexity thinking in Teams/Orgs => No wo/man is an island. Positive social behaviour is a requisite for tackling complexity.

Whether for defusing or absorbing complexity, people shaping and acting in the environment have a central role. Social skills become essential because no one is an island.

There seems to be a rise in new users who are bringing some of the toxic birdsite traits to this nobler tableau. You know the type. They don't have any real ideas. They aren't steeped in the books YOU'VE carefully studied. So, with typical resentiment, they cast aspersions upon your character rather than address any actual argument you've presented. These vituperative simpletons are easily blocked and ignored, of course. But I do worry that so many have been so thoroughly programmed to behave this way that we are all going to be at each other's throats for sometime rather than coming up with solutions.

Disagreement -- even strongly voiced disagreement -- does not mean we are enemies. But if your first impulse is to declare a jihad rather than summon facts to counter my position, well, it says more about you than me. Demolish my argument. Really. Make me think better. I won't take offense. In fact, I'll probably thank you.

Many people lose friends over opinions because they believe their opinions are *who they are* and that #disagreement is a threat to their identity, not an issue with the idea itself.

You are not your thoughts. Not your opinions.
