@[email protected] make me a list of lemmy communities that are science, computer and tech oriented.
There must be a desire on both sides to get to the truth. If one of the sides already believes he knows what is truth, then its pointless. It becomes a situation where that person's objective is not to get to the bottom of things, but to convince you he/she is right. Unconsciously I do this sometimes with some of my beliefs, and its hard not to do it. It requires some level of maturity, not getting attached to beliefs, and rather adhere to an uncertainty principle.
Another situation is acting in bad faith. Someone who gives zero shits about truth and its only desire is to advance his position/power.
The 1st example it might still be possible to bring the other around by hard facts, sometimes. The 2nd its hopeless because there is no desire for truth.
Nothing will work when the other side is acting in bad faith. They will just lie, use half truths, manipulate information and all kinds of tricks to get to where they want.
Non Violent Communication (NVC) might be effective in some of those situations. Basically reflecting back the needs behind the chosen words or way they are said.
Yeah I agree completly. That puts me off too. Im using wefwef.app atm. Looks good, but too much ios like for my tastes. Also Liftoff now is crashing all the time.
Yeah you're right. I'm in IT. Some stuff sometimes is better discussed via short call. But in government positions I can see you need to have it all on record sure.
Its not that simple. Its ok to apologize sometimes. But not so apologize every fucking time like I do for every minor slide. Also I can see the usefulness to just make the shot call instead of staying 1h writing that message/email. Others are ok too.
