    840 - The most dangerous mental errors that you don't know you're making! with Sahil Bloom

    840 - The most dangerous mental errors that you don't know you're making! with Sahil Bloom

    Do you know there are some dangerous mental errors that you don't even know that you're making? They are many biases that we made every day, and to tell you the truth, it's almost impossible to avoid them! However, we can be made aware of them, to try our best for a better outcome in negotiation, debate, and sales! 

    In this episode, I invited Sahil Bloom, entrepreneur, creator, and investor, back on again to talk about this new Twitter thread, The most dangerous mental errors (you don’t know you’re making).

    Break Away from Idiot Compassion: Let Your Fierce Flag Fly

    Break Away from Idiot Compassion: Let Your Fierce Flag Fly

    The word compassion means to "suffer with" another, but that is often not what we're doing when we think we're offering compassion to someone who is behaving badly. In this culture of enabling and codependency,  in our attempts to be loving, we instead indulge people in that suffering (and create our own), instead of offering them motivation for change that could ease it.

    Women and folx have been taught to "be nice", to not "rock the boat", to avoid conflict at all costs. We've come by that honestly in this patriarchal society, where cishet white men get to stir all the pots they want without the risk of being labeled as aggressive or b*tchy. 

    Yes, compassion is "suffering with" when there is no solution for the suffering.  We can sit together and lovingly hold a container for what cannot be solved. For what needs time, patience, and an opportunity to be healed without intervention. But when harm is being done, and solutions abound, it is idiot compassion that keeps us in a pattern of enabling someone to misbehave, rather than letting them know that they can't keep doing what they're doing on our watch.

    True compassion is fierce. True compassion is Kali the Hindu Goddess, with her many arms. One holds her warrior sword, another the head of a man. She destroys what is harmful and cuts away the nonsense.

    In order to make the jump from idiot compassion to that which is true, we must first prepare our own sacred ground with tender and fierce self-compassion. Only then will we have the strength to cut through the BS with the sword of courage and wisdom.

    In this episode, Jessica shares a personal story about an attempt to bring true compassion to a community that was allowing a sexual predator to target young women, and a story of a client who offered her man true compassion when he wouldn't cease his harmful behavior.
     
    Also, Jessica experiences a moment of semantic satiation and forgets whether the word regality exists or if she was being "grammagical."  Yes, indeed, regality is a real word.

    As promised, here are the books on self-compassion by Kristin Neff, Ph.D. mentioned in this episode:

    Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive (2021)

    Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself  (2012)

    Matthew 5: Start with the Heart

    Matthew 5: Start with the Heart

    Matthew 5: 21-37

    Jesus is talking about a righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and the Pharisees. One of the biggest principles governing this surpassing righteousness is the precedence of the heart. Jesus isn't just king of our bodies. His territory is our hearts. Andrew and Edwin examine several examples Jesus provides of this important role for King Jesus in the Sermon.

    30. Was heisst hier behindert?

    30. Was heisst hier behindert?
    Wer ist gemeint, wenn man von behinderten Menschen spricht? Lange Zeit existierte das Wort "behindert" gar nicht. Später sollte es Begriffe wie "Krüppel" ersetzen, doch plötzlich war es als Schimpfwort wieder da.Wie die Disability Studies insgesamt, ist auch die Disability History ein ziemlich junges Forschungsgebiet. Untersucht wird das Verhältnis von Menschen mit Behinderung zur Mehrheitsgesellschaft, und zwar vorrangig aus der Perspektive der behinderten Menschen selbst. In "Echt behindert!" geht es diesmal darum, wie der Begriff "Behinderung" entstanden ist und wie er sich über die Zeit gewandelt hat. Wie hat man im Mittelalter über behinderte Menschen gesprochen? Wann tauchte das Wort "behindert" zum ersten Mal auf? Wie haben sich die Gesetze in den vergangenen 100 Jahren geändert? Und warum ist "behindert" trotz aller Inklusion heute ein Schimpfwort? Zu Gast in der Sendung ist Prof. Dr. Anne Waldschmidt von der Uni Köln. Mehr zu ihrer Arbeit findet man hier: Internationale Forschungsstelle Disability Studies Wir freuen uns über Feedback, Lob, Kritik und Meinungen. Mail an: echt.behindert@dw.com Das Transkript finden Sie hier. Podcast "Echt behindert!" im RSS Feed Podcast "Echt behindert!" auf Apple Podcasts Podcast "Echt behindert!" auf Spotify
