Loved this, going to have to check out that book, and I’m really looking forward to your upcoming character reference series with all of your past girlfriends individually completing a post…

Ha!

Yes. That should be the new thing in dating apps. Just endless evaluations from ex-girlfriends.

Not a terrible idea. Get some letters of rec to go with the inevitable lies most people probably tell on those platforms about who they really are

If we could all communicate what we need directly, and not distort other's words with past experience, life would be so much easier.

Yes! In one of Rosenberg’s books he takes his methods of Isreal and gets Israelis and Palestinians to use them with each other.

It didn't instantly create peace in the Middle East, obviously, but it got people who hated each other to look at each other in a new light, with more compassion and understanding.

If these methods were scaled, I think they would make an impact.

Jamie Wheal, in an article here on Substack, said "Humanism is optional, tribalism is destiny."

Its easy for me to be a humanist in a mostly polite society. If I were in Israel, Im certain that I would not be so compelled to want the best for the whole world.
