I saw him in nyc. Disappointed there were no protestors lol
they've got a bunch of debates planned because, as you might know, they disagree on a bunch of shit
hahaha i'd be disappointed too
i been saying to people... "i hope something kicks off"
lol
maybe just offended audience members flipping out
Yes they get tied up in semantics though. Sometimes hard to follow their back and forth
Like not the content but the purpose
between harris and peterson? i'd agree
it's hard to follow them and not for lack of comprehension
I can understand what they are saying but it’s hard to understand why they are going so deep on certain things like “what is truth”
For like an hour
douglas murray is mediating, which itself should be fun
@Anomie I've read the 12 rules for life and maps.
They need a mediator
yeah. before i go to the debate, i'll be re-listening to their previous talks
Moderator or whatever
ahh nice one ppf
we'll talk about maps as i'm reading it i guess
I'm currently reading dale carnegie
is that the name of the book?
or is he one of the carnegies
The book is titled How to win friends and influence people
ahhh ye
by dale carnegie
that title keeps popping up for me
maybe i should get it at some point
good read so far
it's a book about influence, right?
kinda like the title suggests but not as basic
forget i ever made that false distinction
lol
Im in chapter 5 right now and so far the best way I can summarize this book is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you
alright cool. i'll keep it in mind for the future. but right now i'm stacked for books :-/ maps of meaning comes next, but i've got a to-read list longer than a leonard cohen song. it's so intimidating i almost don't want to do any of it
That one is good Ppf. The how to win friends. Have you read the four agreements?
no not yet jay is that another one of dale's books?
No I can’t remember the author but it’s a good one that aligns a lot with how to win friends
And also teaches a practical way to achieve perfect peace
Through “four agreements” with yourself. Always try your best, don’t make assumptions, be impeccable with your word, and don’t tale anything personal
that second one is tough. it's one that i struggle with. consciously, i can guarantee in certain situations i won't make assumptions, like with other people - i take them as a blank slate no matter what i might of heard or how they dress etc. common courtesy i reckon. but when we talk that blank slate starts to fill up with things; insights about whoever i'm talking with etc. i'm too hard on myself about how much of that is assumption, because i'm trying to steer clear for practical reasons but... assumptions are a tricky one
