   "Duterte said: you can kill legally because they might fight back. They will fight back. And that was the loop of the narrative. They are drug addicts; therefore, they are armed. Because they are drug addicts, they will fight back. And, if they fight back, they must die."

     a few notes on a Linda Rising's talk

     "Realize up front that this is hard".

     Cognitive dissonance: contradictory "evidence" causes severe cognitive discomfort.

     * We are not rational decision-makers
     * but we are good at explaining after-the-fact why we made a decision – a pattern called rationalization.

     Two thirds of people will not consider an idea until "somebody they know pretty well, is doing it, is happy with it, talks about it […] so maybe i might think about it".
     To convince,
     * you must address: "What's in it for me?" – requires empathy;
     * you can use the values of your opponent. (Loyalty or fairness?)

     A pattern of personal touch: walk a mile in the other's shoes
     Another pattern: "Give it a try"
     Another pattern: listen
     Another pattern: ask for something personal

     William Hirst says that a #narrative that leaves out information “induces forgetting of the unmentioned material.”

     #Talking about other parts of the story actively leads people to forget what is not discussed. “We seem to have a brain that is designed to build a collective memory around collective remembering and collective forgetting,” he explains. “Why? It’s adaptive. We’re social creatures oriented toward our in-group and away from out-groups. Memory is designed to reinforce our in-group membership.”
