1️⃣you can’t trust what you don’t trust . . . even if in principle they are trustworthy

it’s almost tautological, but there’s something that gets overlooked here we often wish people could trust us, because we see we’re trustworthy. but it’s different from them trusting us

you have to be able to consider yourself trustworthy, /while acknowledging and making space for someone else’s doubt/

from Rudyard Kipling’s poem If: If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; how do you do that?? well, this is how

2️⃣ there’s a useful linguistic move that goes when people are saying “you’re trying to fuck with me”, you can translate that “i can’t trust that what you’re doing is not trying to fuck with me” and then you can’t argue with that trust just is

you can come back and say, “i’m not trying to fuck with you” you think you’re arguing with the metaphysical statement, “you’re trying to fuck with me”, but you’re not that’s a misunderstanding of how trust works

can that argue with “i can’t trust that you’re not someone who is trying to fuck with me?” instead, you ask (yourself maybe), “what would you need from me to trust that im listening to you”

3️⃣you can ground it back in the body there’s a thing it would feel like in my body, if i could trust you were listening to me but i don’t feel that; i feel some sort of unease

we’re getting to something irrefutable, something that doesn’t need to be refuted. it’s just the situation

4️⃣there is no right way to do communication, where if you do it that way, you get to say “well, i communicated well, but this other person, just didn’t cooperate”

if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. you gotta try something else (if you wanna try to get somewhere else)

5️⃣ Malcolm isn’t describing a technique for trust; he’s describing /the way trust is formed, any time it is formed/ non-naïve trust is less in the class of things like NVC and more in the class of things like aerodynamics: it is the study of the /thing that is going on/

trust dancing is the technique for how to build non-naĂŻve trust, but non-naĂŻve trust itself is just a recognition of the phenomenon it is a less confused version of how things are

7️⃣ protocols are great, like NVC, but when protocol breaks down, the thing you need is not necessarily more protocol or other protocol it’s a meta-understanding of how things are working so you stop trying to apply more protocol, and abdicate to (4)

8️⃣ blame is a type of explanation, in the same way geocentrism is an explanation of how things are working it’s trying to explain how things work, and what can be done, and like geocentrism, it’s very intuitive, but it an be wrong or confused

blame occurs like weather occurs . . . there's systems involved, but you don’t need to know all of them to recognize its occurance

9️⃣ trust dancing is a lot about “interrupting” and “evidences” other people’s trust patterns and blockers it’s asking what do you need, what are the emotional dream mash-ups you’re in, and offering interrupts and evidence in a non-naïve way

🔟 does it work to try to get people to blame less? no often blaming itself is coming from feeling unsafe or disempowered. i blame you proactively because i don’t want to be blamed

instead of “trying to get them to blame less” (which is just more protocol), you can just skip straight to figuring out what would empower the other person, or empower you

1️⃣1️⃣ “trust dance is about learning more about the moves we are already doing all the time anyway” “what everyone is doing is already part of the dance, and all of it needs to be included for all of it to work”

1️⃣2️⃣ a lot of this seems to boil down to interrupting and making different choices in our patterns if your existing patterns were working for you, well, great! you don’t need any of this you need this to make different choices to get different outcomes

he answers something like 1. @m_ashcroft’s narrow awareness. sometimes feels unsafe, and then you’re in this very embodied sense of what are the stakes and what needs to be done 2. very explicit beliefs! like if two people disagree, one of them is wrong. or someone is at fault

loosening those without challenging the coherence is the ground for other choices

1️⃣4️⃣ “deep coherence” seems a big part of all this recognising the /coherence/ of things without / agreeing/ with it but not /disagreeing/ with it but also just recognising the deep /existence and fact and coherence of it/

1️⃣5️⃣ one of the subtle ways these frameworks like NVC or a marriage communication book works is that they are kind of building trust just by the fact that both of you seem to be participating in this activity where you kind of want to communicate better

it gives you just a boost of trust just to be working on a similar kind of project or using a similar kind of framework together

1️⃣6️⃣ one way to summarise all this is “force doesn’t work” or more precisely: “when force doesn’t work, more force often doesn’t work” something else might, or it might ont, but probably not more. we try more force more often than it works

My stoa video about my NNTD framework is now live! I think the presentation was a solid "okay", but the Q&A was stellar on all counts (as I would expect from the stoa!) Check it out here 👇 (Q&A starts 27mins in if you already know the gist of NNTD) https://t.co/6TZAPcF2rJ
