I think that people should feel comfortable sharing their system-1 expressions, in a way that does not immediately imply judgement.
I am thinking of stuff like the non-violent communication patterns, where you structure your observation in the following steps:
1. List a set of objective observations
2. Report your experience upon making those observations
3. Then your personal interpretations of those experiences and what they imply about your model of the world
4. Your requests that follow from those models
I think it’s fine to stop part-way through this process, but that it’s generally a good idea to not skip any steps. So I think it’s fine to just list observations, and it’s fine to just list observations and then report how you feel about those things, as long as you clearly indicate that this is your experience and doesn’t necessarily involve judgement. But it’s a bad idea to immediately skip to the request/judgement step.
OK, that is clarifying. Maybe your original comment could have been clearer, since this framing is quite different.
The issue that you raise in this comment is a big debate, and this is maybe not the place to discuss it in detail. In any case, as stated my view is that people should think carefully before they comment, and not run with their immediate feelings on sensitive topics.
Agree with this, especially the comments about rudeness. This also means that I disagree with Oli’s comment elsewhere in this thread:
In line with what Ben says, I think people should apply a filter to their system-1 level reactions, and not express them whatever they are.
