The Conversation U.S.

Deciding to “agree to disagree” can do more harm than good. Hard conversations don’t kill connections – silence does.

Caring about a relationship means active listening, “looping” and finding something you both care about, according to a professor: buff.ly/DGK6IcG

dmnews.com/dna-6-things-boomer #communication #generations I dealt with a lot of this with my granma. Eventually, I realized that some words mean different things between us. She also had some dated "kind" habits. One, I didn't quite get what made it "kind" until I reread a Nancy Drew book. Nancy has two friends who are cousins and complete opposites. They guilt the chubby, unathletic friend about food and weight. In their day, it wasn't viewed as nagging or shaming. It was being a concerned friend. To a more modern person, it's an invitation for un-quotable retorts.

"People are instinctively drawn to majority views and are also more likely to do something if they think others are doing it too. Making people aware that their pro-climate view is, in fact, by far the majority could unlock a social tipping point and push leaders into the climate action so urgently needed."

New from BBC. Head teacher's remarks miss the boat: 'She said: "If AI can write a better essay than most students, the real question is why are we spending seven years of a student's life teaching them how to write essays?"' OR...what are you doing wrong in those 7 years that makes your students so bad at writing essays? Most AI-written essays are subpar. If student essays are worse, then we are REALLY doing something wrong. bbc.com/news/articles/cx201dgp #education #genAI #writing #communication

"There are several overlapping groups of people who, probably for different reasons, are more likely to prefer news that shares their point of view:
(a) the ideological and politically engaged;
(b) young people, especially those who rely mainly on social media for news;
(c) women; and
(d) less socioeconomically advantaged groups."

"In markets dominated by fewer brands — often publicly funded ones such as the BBC — respondents in that market also tend to express higher levels of preference for impartiality." In Britain, where respondents use an average of four news brands, the lowest number across the 40 countries studied, 62% of respondents say they prefer news displaying no point of view.

Carney’s Checkmate: How Canada's Quiet Bond Play Forced Trump to Drop Tariffs

deanblundell.substack.com/p/ca

“This was the determining factor in Trump’s surrender. Not the public spats, not the retaliatory tariffs Canada slapped on U.S. autos (though those stung). It was the quiet, coordinated threat of a Treasury bond unwind that bent Trump’s knee.”

Aside: Why are we calling northern countries like Canada, much of Europe, Japan.. the “free world”?
