2:30 Embrace dissonance to create new forms
Bliss comes often from embracing difficulties and dilemmas
Before we can deal with diversity and multitudes without we have to address them within
We need to confront our inner diversity and contention
We become exiled from ourselves
The lessons of Joseph and his brothers
We have to anticipate how our messages will be deceived
We have to recognize where we’ve gone wrong before we can move forward
12:00 Take inventory
No shortcuts to self-knowledge or knowledge of others
The difference between hurt and hate, between guilt and grievance
Anger is easier than vulnerability but often counterproductive
Why am I feeling anger? Why are you?
Trauma can’t be talked about, it has to be acted out
Instead of being adversaries, we can heal each other
Seeking the I-thou moment
Mirror neurons -- we’re designed to connect and respond
20:00 How introverts can thrive in groups
We have to know others before we can accurate interpret their behavior
Nurture, nature, or both?
The rule of three is programmed into nature, refuting binary perception
Not good for Man to be alone
28:30 In exile we can discover our own divinity
Being human is like improvising a jazz performance
If we don’t face the changes, we miss the opportunity to create
The wisdom of “yes, and…”
We are a compilation of stories
If you’re listening, you can make something beautiful out of anything
34:00 Why do people become lemmings?
Our two favorite things are stability and change
To question, we have to allow ourselves to not know
Reframe a whistleblower as a leader
It’s easier to vilify than to accept rebuke
44:00 The amputee and the red boot
We want to celebrate what makes it unique
“Who made a bigger mistake today
47:00 The word of the day: Tmesis
When the prefix is separated from the simple verb) was an original feature of the Ancient Greek language, also common in Latin, Dutch and German.
A whole nother...(story / kettle of fish / ball game) is an example of tmesis in English.
Colloquial examples include the common "un-[bloody]-believable"
Ned Flanders, a character in The Simpsons: "Wel-diddly-elcome!"
Interrupting the natural flow brings attention to the content. Introverts have a natural tendency to look and think deeper, to notice subtlety and nuance; they have less fear of silence, and are often more attuned to new ways of thinking and seeing because they don’t get caught up in the relentless rhythm of life.
