[Rambly notes while voting.] This post has some merit, but it feels too...jumpy, and, as the initial comments point out, it’s unclear in what’s being considered “explicit” vs “implicit” communication. Only getting to the comments did I realize that the author’s sense of those words was not quite my own.
I’m also not sure it’s either 1) telling the whole picture, vs 2) correct. A couple of examples are brought, but examples are easy to cherry-pick. The fact that the case brought with Bruce Lee seemed to be in favor of a non-compassionate feels maybe, maybe like an existence proof, but I’m not even sure of what. I do think the military example could be fleshed out as a case of when it doesn’t make sense to communicate length about everything.
As pitched, I do think the recommendation for Difficult Conversations sounds pretty cool.
