Despite widespread agreement with the principle, I find this pretty rare to happen in practice. Do you have ideas for how this could become a more catchy social convention?
Itās definitely rare in practice. Iād imagine that we could change this by using some kind of stock phrase that works as a āpauseā button in a conversation.
For example: āI hear what youāre saying. But before we get farther, can I share what I thought coming into the conversation? Iām already starting to change my mind, but I think it would be useful to clarify where we both started.ā
But thatās pretty long, so hopefully we could eventually condense the idea to something like āletās both give our impressions before we updateā or ātell me what you think, Iāll tell you what Iāve been thinking, and then we can talk it outā. Or someone can come up with a catchy acronym!
