Hack Your Body with Your Brain | David Fuller

In this world of ever increasing polarisation and division, how can we learn to have more productive and generative conversations?

David Fuller outlines the neuroscience and psychology of conflict and polarisation whilst teaching techniques from mindfulness, breathwork and counselling to hack our physiology to have better conversations with those we disagree with.

David Fuller is a journalist, producer and documentary maker who has made films for Channel 4 and the BBC and is the founder of media company Rebel Wisdom.

I don’t think conversations are breaking down. I think it’s more to do with the nature of internet communication, everyone has a public voice now and they use it to shout into an echo chamber. Conducting conversations via text, anonymously or remotely, has always had it’s problems and always will.

Interesting topic but I can't say the same about the video. The moment I would expect the talk to start the video ends. Also that which is shown feels more like an end of talk audience feedback outro. Eventhough it's the whole video is building up as if it is an intro that stops when you expect to get information from the speaker. I would qualify this a "look I made people do stuff video and recorded their feedback" congrets on that but really a waste of time when you are looking for actual information, just like the info in the situations I would have expected you would talk about in this video, where is the actual full talk?

Well, I can see why the second lady has a lot of arguments, since she's opiniated, has an agenda, and is publicly blaming her partner.

an interesting approach at the wrong time in the cycle of civilizations. this is the fourth turning the winter. this is a period of conflict not co operation. kind of worthless this time in the world of man.
