Furthering<p>The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here. </p><p>While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all. </p><p>🧵 end</p><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kindness</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/KindnessMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KindnessMatters</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Connection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Connection</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversation</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Discussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discussion</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communication</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Authenticity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authenticity</span></a></p>
Furthering<p>I finished the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves by Alison Wood Brooks. I love the topic about how to communicate well with other people – it’s an art that we can cultivate to our own and others’ benefit. It’s beautiful, healthy, and connective, and I was happy to have this book become available. </p><p>This is a long thread with my notes and direct quotes. </p><p>The book begins by identifying maxims that can be used to facilitate conversation, which I think are useful both offline and on: “The TALK maxims break conversation down into four crucial reminders that will guide our entire approach to make conversation more vibrant, enriching, and effective: Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”</p><p>It's an easy reminder – to stay curious, to introduce lightness, and to lead with compassion.</p><p>🧵 </p><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversation</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communication</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Discussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discussion</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kindness</span></a></p>

RaymondPierreL3<p>This <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversation</span></a> article is a good ‘opener’ into a Defence/ADF debate that must be had, not just by experts and polies, but by all Australian given it goes to the issue of our collective physical security ( <a href="https://theconversation.com/should-australia-increase-its-defence-spending-we-asked-5-experts-252374" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/should-aus</span><span class="invisible">tralia-increase-its-defence-spending-we-asked-5-experts-252374</span></a> ). There is no denying the naiveté in thinking we can ever live our lives peacefully, isolated from the troubles around us. Thinking that we can count on enduring alliances for help when we are threatened is also delusional given history is replete with contradictory tales. So <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Defence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Defence</span></a> concerns all of us and is an integral part of politics (I.e. Foreign affairs by other means).</p><p>I like the opinion of Jennifer Parker and Peter Layton best of the bunch of opinions expressed by the ‘experts’ because they go to the ‘core’ of what Defence means in practice at the ground level. The process is very simple (the helo view). It is for govt to strategise what must be done to keep Australia as safe as possible and develop any number of Defence policy goals for study by Defence experts. Those Defence experts than come back with Force Plans for each policy goals. After that, it’s up to govt to expand its range of policies to accommodate the defence plans and find the money to fund the most pressing goal achieving preparedness (the more goals can be addressed the more secure Australia will be).</p><p>In all cases, ‘preparedness’ is the foundation stone of any defence planning and subsequent actions.</p><p>/Arm-Chair General signing off…</p>

RaymondPierreL3<p>I am coming back to the subject of the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australian</span></a> GO8 universities definition of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/antiSemetism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antiSemetism</span></a> because the controversy is an itch I feel compelled to scratch. It follows my reading of an article published by The <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversation</span></a> (whose authors’ biases are duly noted in the margin) which highlights the weaknesses of our language when it is used to define and pin down the meaning of a word describing ‘others’. This weakness is mostly evidenced when emotions are at play, and there are few subject matters where emotions rules our head more than when we talk about ‘others’. </p><p>As the authors explain, “[the] Controversy has centred on where the definition moves to conflate antizionism and antisemitism. Some scholars and activists believe it mutes legitimate discussion about Israeli state violence towards Palestinians.</p><p>The competing Jerusalem Declaration was subsequently endorsed by around 370 leading scholars of Holocaust history, Jewish studies, Antisemitism studies, and Middle East studies. It defines antisemitism as “prejudice, discrimination, hostility or violence against Jews as Jews”. Its authors claim the declaration aims “to protect a space for an open debate about the vexed question of the future of Israel/Palestine”.<br> <br>I have to say that the latter (The Jerusalem Declaration) is the better and more workable definition in a context where policies and actions of the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UltraNationalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UltraNationalist</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netanyahu</span></a> govt can rightly be condemned and criticised without expressing anti-semitic sentiments. Most, if not all, other definitions would favour one extremist ideological perspective over another.</p><p>Source: <a href="https://theconversation.com/a-new-definition-of-antisemitism-from-universities-australia-is-attracting-criticism-two-historians-explain-why-251252" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/a-new-defi</span><span class="invisible">nition-of-antisemitism-from-universities-australia-is-attracting-criticism-two-historians-explain-why-251252</span></a><br> <br>Just as we know and understand that a fascist State (Russia) misuses the term <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> as a false flag to legitimise its invasion of a neighbour’s (Ukraine) internationally recognised territory, we should also recognise that the terms anti- <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a> and anti- <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Semitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Semitism</span></a> are conflated by ultra nationalists in the State of Israel and those who support their expansionist and racist ideologies. </p><p>For the record, I support a two state solution even if I cannot see how we get there given past and present circumstances. Perhaps the toppling of the Netanyahu’s govt is a small step along that road. And my saying this should in no way be construed as expressing anti-semitism.<br> <br>As this example shows, definitions of Semitism need not exclusively describe the Jewish people which is a recent (late C19th) trend. <br>Semitism: “Cultural characteristics attribute to the semetic people.” (Source: EOD)<br> “Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. The terminology is now largely unused outside the grouping "Semitic languages" in linguistics.” (Source: Wikipedia) </p><p>This broader meaning only serves to confuses contemporary discussions at large (trust our media outlets to confuse us all further for clearly political reasons).</p>
