communication strategies

  • F

    Engage or Enrage. It is likely that we have family members or friends that we differ with greatly when it comes to politics, healthcare, etc.  I am no different.  When the inevitable hot topic arises, do you recommend flight or fight, engage or enrage?  How do you respond when this occurs?

    I have utilized two different strategies with two different family members.  My brother has become so angry that I chose not to engage for the sake of family unity.  My BIL, used to send me emails full of his talking points....

    What men wish women understood about men. This has been trigger a lot LOLs and ROFLs in my group chats. It's obviously over-the-top dramatic with the music and tone and hyperbolic "10,000x" language but it did make me think how much "burden" is kept when you don't talk about things. I think that's the basic premise, woman share their burdens and men keep them to themselves. It certainly tracks for me.

    The over-the-topness is interesting, because on the one hand it's the classic attention-grab move, and on the other, it's actually helpful to show the distinction.

    Would love y'all's feedback on podcasts: here's number #1 . Part of our plan for growing is for me to go on a series of increasingly popular podcasts. I feel great about doing relateful podcasts, but feel like I still need a lot of practice for UpTrust. here's the first one:

    "Solving Social Media with Jordan Myska Allen" (i don't get to pick the titles)

    • Youtube: https://youtu.be/i2MSY1K9wTc
    • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/solving-social-media-with-jordan-myska-allen/id1714481300?i=1000692941322
    • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6XFLyfHXj7S0OnwdweFfab 

     

    I would love any kind of feedback. What works for you? What doesn't? Any specific phrases stick out as good/bad? What's the most boring? Most interesting? Surprising? etc

    Great job, Jordan! You ooze charisma. Loved: The point about X and FB having an unconscious incentive structure, and there being no bad guys is brilliant because it shifts energy away from finger-pointing that can be put toward making things better....

    I want a new archetype for libertarian well-being activist. Maybe it’s an old archetype and some German philosophers have been talking abt it for centuries…

    My climbing gym is called Crux; the original location is moving because the rent is too high, and the landlord won’t work with the climbing gym…

    The gym is in a part of the city that used be considered south, but now is centralish. I think all of austin loses when we lose places like this. We lose our character and our well being.

    I want the landlord to be the libertarian well-being activist. My mom does this for the Relateful Studio. I didn’t ask and no one makes her; hardly anyone knows and she doesn’t get any tax benefits; we still pay her a good bit each month but it’s under market. She’s doing exactly what she wants to be doing with her money and investments: supporting her son’s vision.

    The climbing gym landlord isn’t a bad guy, probably. Maybe he has loads of debt; maybe he has a wound from childhood that he’s trying to heal, but
    Is the climbing gym landlord doing exactly what he wants?

    I want endosymbiosis activists; where what they do is good for the whole and them, and they sacrifice neither. I want this to be a meme, that people strive to be. I want them to brag about it in their hearts, and try to remain undiscovered. I once heard that in Judaism the best mitzvahs are the ones no one knows you did.

    This more general question is really important to me. I had a very negative experience just going with the "I trust you," vibe for years and then ending up with a feeling of shock and betrayal....
