  • 1651 || elenchus
    1. Wonder: The big question.
    2. Hypothesis: The interlocutor's proposed answer to the question.
    3. Elenchus: Question and answer to discover what other reasonable propositions are likely to be true that refute the hypothesis. Proceed by mutual agreement at every step - elenchus is not a debate.
    4. Accept or Revise: Refine or revise the hypothesis - either without vulnerability to that elenchus, with reduced confidence, or even rejecting it. On the other hand, if the hypothesis survives repeated attempts at elenchus, provisionally accept it.
    5. Act accordingly: Reduce confidence in and reliance on the hypothesis that is refuted by elenchus.

  • 1650 || neutralizing language helps

    You can't change minds when people are defensive. Practice using neutral language and reframing techniques to minimize defensiveness. These are difficult conversations, but they shouldn't feel like confrontations. Today we talk about some ways to do that.

  • 1647 || the inner work required to bridge a connection

    Challenge your biases + stereotypes. Focus on first-hand experiences. Focus on individual humanity, not their group membership. Assume good intentions. Be intentional with expanding your interactions with other cultures. Learn to engage with context not the connotation.

  • 1646 || "bridging our differences" isn't for everyone

    It's not about changing someone's mind, it's about finding common ideas so you can expose the vulnerabilities + biases, but there are risks involved.


    You may start to identify your own faulty beliefs. This work isn't for everyone, all the time. It's not your responsibility to have productive conversations about everything, all the time. If you have the capacity, though, some of these strategies and skills can help us hone those skills.

  • 1645 || street epistemology

    Lately I've been avoiding arguments by asking people about their "mode of justification" rather than the justification, itself. It's helped me in my genuine curiosity, which allows me to be more respectful when dealing with people whose beliefs seem ridiculous.


    There's no formula or script, but asking "what evidence would change your confidence in the truth of this claim?" has changed my relationship with these types of conversations.


    Working from where we do agree, and meeting people where they are, and exploring alongside each other - to understand HOW they got to the belief, rather than attempting to singlehandedly debunk the belief.

  • 1644 || highly sensitive + trying not to lose that

    When you deep clean your kitchen cabinets, your guests won't know what a MESS it used to be. It's invisible labor. They won't see the chaos that you had to go through to get everything to an organized place, but that doesn't take away the value of an organized cabinet.


    Finding a way to engage with the world productively, has been a chaotic mess of a project - but it's been worth it.


    I'm highly sensitive and in a world that pushes us all towards numbness, it feels like a burden. But it's not. It's part of the essential process of making a softer + more equitable world.

  • 1643 || how's your scholastic disposition?

    Here are the learned dispositions that coincide with education + critical thinking:


    • Comfort with abstraction 
    • Willingness to defer gratification 
    • Belief that your questions are legitimate
    • Ease with formal language 
    • Patience with hierarchal structures

    Kids are losing their tolerance for frustration, and it's showing up in their education. Have you noticed a change in your own?
