interpersonal communication skills

• I’d like to understand “interpersonal communication skills” in more detail.
  • It would be nice to see broad listening as a technique to enhance pair group comprehension.
• The “ability to transmit information to a group” may be “broadcasting” in the opposite direction.
  • Do not reply to person-to-person
    • Do not reply / Do not allow to reply.
  • You must choose carefully who you reply to.
    • Maybe this will be limited to “online”
      • Tend to have more in common with people they talk to physically face to face.
        • Compared to random people online.
        • We have a lot in common, like people interested in attending the same events, or working for the same organizations.
  • Another expression: one must understand the person to whom one is replying.
    • And the cost of understanding is high, so of course not everyone is eligible.

from Diary 2024-07-23 interpersonal communication skills

tokoroten I thought that people who are in a reasonably smart position, but as soon as they start to wrestle, they fall into conspiracy theory, their interpersonal communication skills (a coined word) must be low. （I thought that their ability to communicate with other people in a group must be low.

Flames bring together all sorts of people, from scholars to the invincible. If you can’t see it as a herd, you get the dumbest of the dumbest of the dumb, blackmail them, and when you realize it, you fall to the dark side and conspiracy theories.

We need to find the smartest guy in the group and have a discussion with him, but the dichotomous thinking of friend or foe makes it impossible to recognize that there are gradations in the enemy, so we can’t communicate with the right person and reach the right point of contention.

I was thinking something like that.

tokoroten All you need to do to blackmail the “most stupid” is ridicule, because what you’re saying is so stupid.

But if you can’t recognize the herd, you’ll return the mockery to even the smartest > comments.

Then they can’t back down anymore, and they start to ridicule any opponent, and they get more and more broken, and finally they fall into conspiracy theories and so on.

nishio “Intergroup communication skills” good term, I can also say broad listening is a technique to enhance “intergroup comprehension skills”

relevance - Assume a homogeneous group of people - The bug that sees multiple people as one person - Generalize and attack conspicuously inferior people.
