You notice when you have bad vs good posture physically (eg straight back vs slouching). What are your personal signs that you’re adopting bad vs good posture mentally? As evident in speech patterns/tics etc?

that's a very good one... I did this thread earlier on trying to have both sides of a conversation, but didn't quite connect the dots to a bad posturehttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/1330917074500141057 …

Venkatesh Rao @vgrPeople really like to have both sides of conversations. You’d think this is a sort of stylized performance element but it isn’t.

Really interesting thread. Especially re: bearing in mind the limitations of motivated individual single view accounts. Do you preemptively adjust for ‚missing information‘ (glossing over the most pertinent glitches, etc)? I know you said the filtering fxn is most important, but

in a more dynamic situation? Definite parallel to adjusting for the bad mental posture condition (interpreting same sentence diff based solely on circumstantial cues)

I'm not particularly good in more dynamic situations, so mostly I don't attempt anything serious in that mode. Like twitter arguments, just exit if it heads down that script-control route and I don't have the energy to try and open it up more. Improv yes, and rule is good there.

So modular, pattern-based rules good, rigid narrative bad. Do you test your clients’ mental flexibility along these lines, even if only implicitly? Sorry if this is too prying/boring

none of this is very conscious, pretty much autopilot, but this is the interpretation I have in hindsight of why I do what I do
