Hello! And a question on measuring the quality of a connection
Hi Uptrusters! Sara here, joining for the conversations (debates? connections? community?) and because I’ve been frothing to see the inside of this platform ever since Jordan told me about it 🤤.... - laymanpascal...

The article here on Relatefulness vs Circling, and numerous instances of listening to people try to nuance intriguing distinctions between various tweaks of intersubjective practice, turns my mind back to the shamanic.... Shadows of personal growth culture: weaponized toolkits
I think everyone here has probably experienced weaponized NVC. What are some of the other things you see "weaponized" that annoy you? eg: Weaponized "Commitment to connection": there are bunch of versions of this: i can’t heal myself without you, my feelings are dependent on your... A future I love: Collaboration AI and Collective Agency
This vision is totally under construction right now, so the way I share it here is going to be choppy and incomplete, because that's what I've got. Near future: Tipping Point for sensible discourse - I dream of a near future where red and blue don't only throw things at one... I need a new word.
I’ve been using the word autistic as a description of a state experience where, when one is in such a state, they don’t recognize subtle passive cues from others.... - JulieI...
What's in a question..."

Pretty metal, gotta hand it to y'all. I never suspected a lack of intentionality here. But/and the impact remains. When I don't know who I'm interacting with, I'd actually rather not.... Super helpful feedback, thanks ron62. We're still figuring out how to help people get a sense of what's different here, and it seems like the language of "reflects my worldview" is actively against what we mean to convey.... - nat...

Oh yeah, that definitely resonates more. It actually feels like another #deeptake :) I think I'm also getting from you that there's some value for you in honesty around reputation, such that one actually can rely on it within the system.... is free speech a constitutional law concept? I'm ignorant on these matters, maybe bc I'm from the USA, I really thought it was just a common idea. Sorry, I really don't see the thing you're trying to point at; maybe I could better if I were hearing you or seeing your face... very cool. i feel like this is such a rich open and varied field, and as a civilization (at least the one we can commune with) we've barely scratched the surface here.... - laymanpascal...
I agree (sic). Dis/agreement is a good general framing. Coherence and alignment are high-level strategies for dealing with the proliferating effects of fragmentation....
