I’m curious about the origin story of you using the Bosnia example here – is that a history bit that you already knew, and randomly realized was analogous to your situation? Did you learn the Bosnia example recently and then go “oh that was kinda like situation X”?, or want to write about situation X and then poked around for a real world example?
(I just find myself wondering because I don’t recall you using that class of example very often and was just intrigued about the process, no particular followup implication or questions).
Also, nice post! I think this one of my favorite Inkhaven posts that I’ve read.
I was interested in mediation and then spent a few hours chatting with ChatGPT to find a real example to look into, and then skimmed a book (by Holbrooke) about this example, and followed up with more q’s to the language model (with regular checking of other secondary sources to confirm details).
After reading it, it increased the salience to me of the legitimacy and power of the mediator.
