This applies to situations where you're researching motivations and perceptions in a complex conflict as well.

So this is us, calling on leaders everywhere to reject short-term sugar rush radicalism and get back to substantive, authentic back-and-forth so we can do constructive battle and create a better future together.

Great advice on how to turn conflict into authentic connection.

A perspective that has never been more important than right now.

I want to share this conversation between me and @PearceGodwin on how those of us leaning left and right today can develop respectful, fruitful relationships. It ain't easy, but is vital.

I had a thought on this. The era of the Uncanny Valley is over. We’re in the era of the “Canny Valley,” where we happily embrace the difference between computer & human. Because when we untethered from the bad of the past, we cut off the good too.

Complex systems are powerful, not because we create them (we can’t), but because they’re bigger than us.

What is the AI "Canny Valley" and what does it mean for complex conflicts?

I have thoughts. 👇

BLOG: "The Canny Valley & Complex Conflicts"
I call our instinct to trust GPTs the Canny Valley. It's rooted in society’s current approach to truth, and it has important implications for those who manage, or are involved, in complex conflicts.

It’s very humbling to be of use to folks who are actually making a real, tangible difference in the world. 👇

Of course, it’s perfectly natural & understandable human behaviour for bureaucracies to want to justify & perpetuate their important roles. And when the state controls all of your healthcare, that bureaucracy can become more important than life itself. @HealthCanada3 @NHS

I like this exchange for one reason: oversimplifying others makes conflicts worse. This journo had framed Poilievre negatively, so his questions weren’t meant to create more understanding. Poilievre calmly dismantled those frames, and now we see each person more authentically. 👍

[Szabo Center for Complex Conflict @ComplexConflict]

Agree with @szabo_strategy.

[Mark Szabo @szabo_strategy]

There is a wealth of in-depth resources on #complexity at @Sys_innovation.

[Mark Szabo @szabo_strategy]

System-level thinking is a useful way to make sense of group behaviour, because it explains the big picture AND factors in the microinteractions between individuals. 👇

There are a few people in my work that I truly admire, that inspire me, and who make this job even more fun. One of them is @szabo_strategy

I continue to learn from him as a person, and his website is not half bad either. Thanks Mark

Let's all commit to getting up and out today and moving alongside people who disagree with how we see the world. There is extraordinary power in this simple act.
