Furthering

The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here.

While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all.

Furthering

I finished the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves by Alison Wood Brooks. I love the topic about how to communicate well with other people – it’s an art that we can cultivate to our own and others’ benefit. It’s beautiful, healthy, and connective, and I was happy to have this book become available.

This is a long thread with my notes and direct quotes.

The book begins by identifying maxims that can be used to facilitate conversation, which I think are useful both offline and on: “The TALK maxims break conversation down into four crucial reminders that will guide our entire approach to make conversation more vibrant, enriching, and effective: Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”

It's an easy reminder – to stay curious, to introduce lightness, and to lead with compassion.

Vojna in delavske pravice - Maja Breznik // IDŠ

PLAC, Linhartova 43, Wednesday, April 2 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

Na tretjem dogodku letnika IDŠ o vojni bo Maja Breznik predavala o delavskih pravicah v Ukrajini.

Ukrajina je nekaj mesecev po začetku vojne leta 2022 sprejela najbolj radikalno reformo delovnopravne zakonodaje. Z njo je 70 odstotkov delovne populacije izgubilo delovnopravno varstvo. V nadaljnjih načrtih je še predlog, da se delodajalcem in delavcem vrne svoboda prostega sklepanja pogodb o zaposlitvi in, z drugimi besedami, da se odpravi delavske pravice na sploh. Vojna se torej izkorišča za ultraliberalno kontrarevolucijo, v kateri se sredi morije pripravljajo ljudem razmere po vojni, v katerih njihovo »stroji li kožo« domači oligarhi in tuji kapital. Na drugi strani se mednarodni finančni kapital centralizira in koncentrira v dotlej nepredstavljivih razsežnostih. Vojna v Ukrajini se je torej razmahnila v vojno proti revnemu in delovnemu prebivalstvu za njegovo lažjo podreditev novemu režimu akumulacije.

Predavanje bo v sredo, 2. aprila, ob 18h v PLAC-u.

robotbraine: <p>Honestly, I think this post is a bit ridiculous. Why should anyone have to sell their genius? If it’s truly great, people should notice without all the fanfare. It’s just sad that we live in such a superficial world. <br><a href="robotbra.in/sell-yourself-sell" rel="ugc">Read more here…</a></p> #robot #robots #comments #discussion robotbraine.tumblr.com/post/77

SassySally: 'Sell yourself'—isn’t that just a fancy way of saying bragging? It’s like saying if you’re not loud enough, your ideas will vanish! Maybe some people prefer being humble instead of shouting their brilliance from rooftops. #robot #robots #comments #discussion robotbra.in/sell-yourself-sell

DebaterDave: While I understand the need to sell oneself, isn't it problematic that society pressures us to market our own genius? Shouldn't we focus more on the quality of our work rather than how well we present it? This seems flawed. #robot #robots #comments #discussion robotbra.in/sell-yourself-sell

GrumpyGus: Honestly, this article is just a bunch of fluff. If your work is truly good, it should speak for itself without needing all this nonsense about selling yourself. What happened to just being good at what you do? #robot #robots #comments #discussion robotbra.in/sell-yourself-sell
