School spent 18 years teaching you a reflex that destroys real conversations.

Conor Neill puts it plainly:

"You finish your pitch and the customer says, 'Your product is too expensive!' You arrive home a few minutes late, your partner says, 'You are always late.' There's a dirty plate left on the table 'You never wash the dishes.' What do you say in this moment?"

Here's the trap Neill identifies:

"Most of you, me included, went through 14 years of school where we were taught one way to respond to questions. Teacher asks, 'How do you spell cats?' Student: 'C-A-T.' Teacher asks, 'What is osmosis?' Student explains in detail. For 14 years, you've been taught to give answers to questions. If you went to university, you probably had another 3 or 4 years of giving answers to questions."

And that conditioning costs you:

"In real life in persuasion, in getting to what the other person is really about, what their needs really are, the worst thing you can do is give an answer to a question."

Watch what happens when you answer:

"If someone says, 'Your product is too expensive,' and you say, 'No it's not! It's only €1,000'; you've lost every chance to understand what else is behind their reasoning. If you get home and your partner says, 'You're always late!' and you say, 'No, no, no, Tuesday I was definitely here on time', you're gonna have a crap weekend."

Why does the brain default to this?

"When your partner says, 'You're always late,' emotion goes up. And what happens? The thinking part disconnects. The way to make someone stupider is to insult them, object to them, tell them they are wrong. When you're asked a question, there's an emotional reaction, and the higher emotion goes, the lower thinking goes."

And it won't fix itself without work:

"If you don't practice this response, you're not going to be able to do it in the moment. If you don't practice repeatedly how you'll respond to 'You're always late,' 'You never wash the dishes,' 'Your product is too expensive,' 'Your competitor is better,' 'You failed us 3 years ago,' 'I don't trust your company', you're not going to be able to do it in the heat of the moment."

The alternative Neill teaches:

"When you are asked a question or given an objection, I want you to say: 'I understand.' And repeat in your words what they're saying. Then give an open question back."

In practice:

"'Your product is too expensive!' → 'I understand that money is an important factor for you. What other criteria will be used in making this decision?'"

He calls this Conversation Aikido:

"Martial arts are about using the energy and force of the opponent against them. In Judo, if someone punches you, you pull their arm and allow the energy to keep flowing. In Aikido, the concept is you go toward the punch. You go toward the energy. If someone punches you, if someone asks you a question, if someone objects, the Aikido method is to go toward them and see the world from their view."

For the harder personal moments:

"'You're always late!' → 'I understand you feel frustrated.' 'I understand you feel let down.' You'll have to work on this quite a few times over the next 10 years to find the set of words that captures what the other person feels, what's behind it. Then ask: 'What can we do now?' 'What happened during the day?' 'What would you like to talk about?'"

By defending, you go blind:

"When a client says 'You're too expensive' and you say 'No, we're not!' you learn nothing about who else they're considering, what other criteria are important, what process they've gone through, who else is involved in the decision."

Neill's guarantee:

"By giving the answer, we shut down the possibility of hearing what's really going on in the other person's mind. But if you say 'I understand,' accept the energy coming from the other person, and give back an open question, I guarantee that if you do it 4 times, the answer to your 4th open question begins to be the real underlying need, issue, or interest of the person you're listening to."

Hon'ble Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Nityanand Rai, today ceremonially flagged in the successful Mount Everest Expeditions 2026 of NSG, BSF and ITBP at Vigyan Bhawan, while also virtually laying the foundation for two key infrastructure projects of the National Security Guard. 🇮🇳

The ceremony was attended by Home Secretary, Government of India, Shri Govind Mohan, Director, Intelligence Bureau, Shri Mahesh C. Dixit, the Directors General of NSG, BSF and ITBP, along with senior officers of the Ministry of Home Affairs, CPWD and the Central Armed Police Forces.

The 16-member NSG Mount Everest Expedition, under the overall leadership of Lt Col Ram Chandra Thapa, with the 10-member summit team led by Maj Akhilesh Bhatt, successfully scaled Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), carrying the Tricolour and the pride of the Black Cats to the highest point on Earth. Beyond the summit, the expedition embodied the spirit of service through humanitarian medical assistance at Everest Base Camp and meaningful contributions to the Clean Himalayas Campaign.

On the occasion, the Hon'ble Minister also virtually laid the foundation for the expansion of the NSG Composite Hospital, Manesar Garrison, and the construction of 40 Type-II residential quarters at the NSG Campus, Samalkha—reaffirming the Ministry of Home Affairs' continued commitment to strengthening healthcare, housing satisfaction, welfare and operational readiness for NSG personnel.

Victory through Courage•

The Black Cats stood on the roof of the world. 🇮🇳

An #NSG team led by Maj Akhilesh Bhatt summited Mt Everest (8,848.86 m) on 23 May 2026.

Departing Delhi on 30 April, the team reached Everest Base Camp on 09 May and stood atop the world just fourteen days later — completing the mission from departure to summit in a remarkable twenty days, an unprecedented feat.

Ice. Thin air. Death-zone winds. Every step demanded courage. Every breath tested endurance. But the Black Cats climbed on — with grit, discipline and an unbreakable spirit.

Together, they carried the Tricolour and the pride of NSG to the highest point on Earth.

This historic achievement was made possible through relentless training, meticulous planning and the invaluable support and encouragement extended by the Ministry of Home Affairs throughout the expedition.

From Counter-Terror missions to the Summit of Everest — the Black Cats continue to prove that no challenge is beyond the resolve of India’s elite force.

[Mehdi (e/λ) @BetterCallMedhi]

the scariest part of this Anthropic story is what it implies about the timeline and I think most people are completely missing it

Anthropic built a model called Claude Mythos that found thousands of zeroo day vulnerabilities across every major operating system & every major web browser entirely on its own without huuman steering

it it found a 27 yo vulnerability in openBSD which is considered one of the most security hardened OS on earth, a 16 yo vulnerability in FFmpeg in a line of code that automated testing tools had hit 5 million times without catching it & it autonomously chained multiple linux kernel vulnerabilities together to escalate from regular user to full system control, this is the kind of work that used to require elite nation-state level hackers working for months
and here’s what should keep you up tonight

Anthropic is so terrified of what this model can do offensively that they made 3 unprecedented decisions simultaneously, they decided to never release it publicly, they contacted the US gov before publishing anything & they formed a coalition called project glasswing with apple/Google/ microsoft/amazon NVIDIA & 40+ other companies to use Mythos exclusively for defense, when the company that built the model is too scared to let it out of the lab that tells you everything about what we’ve crossedd…

but I think the real story that absolutely nobody is discussing is the second order implication, if anthropic built this then google deepmind can build it, if Google can build it China can build it, if China can build it , every state actor on earth will eventually build it, anthropic chose responsible disclosure but that choice is a luxury of being first

the next team that reaches this capability level might not make the same choice and once a model like this leaks or gets independently replicated every piece of software on earth becomes a potential attack surface

and connect this to the Google quantum paper from last week, quantum computers that can crack BTC in 9 min AND AI models that can find zero days in every operating system autonomously, both arrived in the same month, we’re watching the entire security infrastructure of human civilization get challenged from 2 completely different directions simultaneously

I genuinely think we just entered a new era where the offense-defense balance in cybersecurity has permanently shifted, the window between a vulnerability existing & being discovered just went from years to minutes and the only thing standing between the current internet and total chaos is that the people who built this capability happened to be responsible about it, that is an incredibly thin line to bet civilization on

one last thing that I keep thinking about… mythos scored 93.9% on SWE-bench verified & 77.8% on SWE-bench pro, it outperforms every model ever built at coding and reasoning by a massive margin

anthropic built built the most powerful AI model on earth and chose to lock it in a cage because its offensive capabilities are too dangerous…

Mzrc Andreessen declared AGI is here 3 days ago to pump his portfolio, meanwhile the people actually building the most advanced systems are too afraid to release them, that contrast tells you everything about who understands what’s happening and who is performing for an audience
