    A Deep Dive into: The absurdity of knowing (& understanding) other people [pt.2] – How is it possible to know why people do what they do? (& The philosophy of: Charlie Fineman from Reign Over Me)

    August 2, 2018 - By Dave

    If someone’s decisions seems odd or completely understandable to you, they’re probably a no-brainer to them. And even if you think you do understand the motivations and reasons for their decisions or what they do, you probably only know a part of the picture.  Natasha in Tolstoy’s War and Peace is misunderstood, though she had every right, in her mind (the mind…

    A Deep Dive into: The absurdity of knowing (& understanding) other people [pt.1] – How is it possible to know what it’s like to be someone, if you can never ever actually ‘be’ them?

    August 1, 2018 - By Dave

    Do other people sometimes act weird according to you? And other times is it quite expected? The only thing unites (or divides) you and those people may be the what they do, but it may perhaps in no way at all be the why. Think about your entire life up until this point… Think about every single thing that’s happened, and…

  • On Communication - On Connection

    This is how to have a good conversation (and how to have a shitty one)

    July 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Here’s how to have a shitty conversation: Talk about how awesome you are, how awesome your life is (at 0:35)  how strong you are, how you’re invincible, how you’ve never worried about anything and can’t imagine ever doing it. And here’s how to have a good conversation: Be vulnerable.

    Are you a good listener? The philosophy of: ‘Go On…’, the value of Verbal diarrhoea, and listening without judgement, & The philosophy of: Tao Te Ching [pt.3]

    June 14, 2018 - By Dave

    How good a listener are you? Simply be aware of what actually is without giving it names and without judging it, for you are now feeling out reality itself instead of ideas about it. – Tao Te Ching    One of the absurd things in life is that you can never know me. And I can never know you. You, as…

    On Communication - On Honesty

    This is how to make confrontation non-confrontational

    May 10, 2018 - By Dave

    Tim Ferriss says that a person’s success in life is measured by the amount of difficult conversations they have (with others, but I’d also say with yourself, considering this). And I’d also add that the conversations have to be honest. And confrontations often fall right into that difficult conversation pile. But they don’t need to. Talking about things like two…

    ‘More matter, Less art.’ – The philosophy of: William Shakespeare [pt.2]

    April 13, 2018 - By Dave

    Here’s the philosophy of: William Shakespeare pt.1 Can you say what you want with only a few words (or even one?) Or even none? Saying what you want with as few words makes what you say more meaningful, and may allow others to express what they want to say better too. And in the end, developing the skill to say what…

    The Philosophy of: Ludwig Wittgenstein – The games of language (pay attention to which one others are playing)

    March 16, 2018 - By Dave

    Communication (at least verbal) is incredibly ineffective. For example, when one person says ‘I love you’ it might mean ‘You are the person I enjoy being with’ but if the other says it they may mean ‘If I lost you, I wouldn’t be able to live.’ Those two things are dramatically different. And therefore the consequences of any actions that affect…
