Default Never split the difference

Never heard of this guy 'til this morning - now I can hardly stop listening. Ordered his book. Watched YouTube. FBI hostage negotiator explains how the principles of the limbic system - emotions, are part of being human and are effective even in the most difficult situations.

He calls it "tactical empathy." Former SWAT member, transitioned when his knee gave him trouble. Interesting guy.

Yes, a very interesting guy.

My favorite line from the video:

"If someone is talking to you, you have something they want."

He is referring to a specific context in the talk, but I am pondering that thought in view of a larger context.
If I'm talking to someone, do they have something I want?

This notion could be brought into a discussion defining/re-defining the labels of "introvert" and "extrovert".

Thanks for posting this Arthur Bkake.

This might not always be the case. We have a next door neighbor who phones five times a day and all she wants to do is talk. My wife and I take turns listening to her. Sometimes I put her on speaker phone and put the phone in my pocket as I carry on with my day. She will talk for an hour or more if we let her. We have to interrupt her to say, "Did you hear what I said?".

If we have something she wants it is only to have someone listen to her monologue.

Therefore, she wants your time and attention.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
