De l'intérêt des espaces numériques décentralisés (mais interopérationnels) pour la conversation scientifique. Article de 2023 si actuel : "Mastodon over Mammon: towards publicly owned scholarly knowledge"
royalsocietypublishing.org/doi
La vague d'arrivées sur #Mastodon donne de l'espoir pour une reprise en main de nos capacités d'organiser nos espaces de #conversation (scientifique ou pas).
(Vague certes bien moins forte que celle des arrivées sur Bluesky et Linkedin, centralisés)

Furthering

The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here.

While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all.

Furthering

I finished the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves by Alison Wood Brooks. I love the topic about how to communicate well with other people – it’s an art that we can cultivate to our own and others’ benefit. It’s beautiful, healthy, and connective, and I was happy to have this book become available.

This is a long thread with my notes and direct quotes.

The book begins by identifying maxims that can be used to facilitate conversation, which I think are useful both offline and on: “The TALK maxims break conversation down into four crucial reminders that will guide our entire approach to make conversation more vibrant, enriching, and effective: Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”

It's an easy reminder – to stay curious, to introduce lightness, and to lead with compassion.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Jane Austen

   Anne smiled and said, “My idea of good company, Mr. Elliot, is a company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what a call good company.”
   “You are mistaken,” said he, gently, “that is not good company; that is the best.”

Jane Austen (1775-1817) English author
Persuasion, ch. 16 (1818)

This #Conversation article is a good ‘opener’ into a Defence/ADF debate that must be had, not just by experts and polies, but by all Australian given it goes to the issue of our collective physical security ( theconversation.com/should-aus ). There is no denying the naiveté in thinking we can ever live our lives peacefully, isolated from the troubles around us. Thinking that we can count on enduring alliances for help when we are threatened is also delusional given history is replete with contradictory tales. So #Defence concerns all of us and is an integral part of politics (I.e. Foreign affairs by other means).

I like the opinion of Jennifer Parker and Peter Layton best of the bunch of opinions expressed by the ‘experts’ because they go to the ‘core’ of what Defence means in practice at the ground level. The process is very simple (the helo view). It is for govt to strategise what must be done to keep Australia as safe as possible and develop any number of Defence policy goals for study by Defence experts. Those Defence experts than come back with Force Plans for each policy goals. After that, it’s up to govt to expand its range of policies to accommodate the defence plans and find the money to fund the most pressing goal achieving preparedness (the more goals can be addressed the more secure Australia will be).

In all cases, ‘preparedness’ is the foundation stone of any defence planning and subsequent actions.
