something that pisses me off in RA is that Flanagan will occasionally hype up Pauline as this super important and prominent figure in Will’s life, even treat her as a proxy for the mother he never knew, and yet will just refuse to show it beyond the like. two or three (personal) conversations that they have in canon. I get that he was attempting to make her an important person in Will’s life but why not do that by actually making her an important person in Will’s life

Part II of Negotiating with a terrorist

***If you haven't read part one, go to my blog, scroll down a bit, and read it. You're almost guaranteed to get an undesirable outcome if you fail to use these concepts in concert with one another.***

The ultimate goal in any negotiation should be to establish a solid foundation and foster a cooperative, long-term, and mutually beneficial relationship of collaboration.

A good collaboration involves a combined effort in the acquisition of a mutual desire, as well as the joint aim of expanding the understanding of what that desire might evolve to be across time.

When negotiating, you're faced with two different aspects of the same problem, and if you collaborate you might come to a better outcome. It's not possible to know the best outcome because you don't have all the facts. Go in with an open mind and do it in a way that this person wants to talk with you again.

When negotiating, you're aiming to understand the other person's desires and being transparent about your own. The goal is to create a shared vision and plan a mutually satisfying path forward that both parties will willingly follow. Ideally, this leads to a lasting, reciprocal relationship. It's also important to recognize if the other person is not interested in achieving this outcome.

There are no foes, only friends waiting to happen. It doesn't matter if you think the guy on the other side of the table is the worst human being that every crawled on the face of the earth. They're a human being, and you must realize this. If you think about it as "us vs. them" you might as well hang up and call it a day, because you're not going to make a deal here.

If your biggest fear is "no," you can't negotiate. If you're dead set on what you want and you're not willing to be open to other possibilities, you've already turned this into a lose-lose scenario.

Listen to your gut, not your amygdala. When dealing with a high-conflict or overly aggressive counterpart it's easy to get swept up in emotion and start thinking with your limbic brain. Our whole body thinks. Gut feelings are important to listen to. If something feels off, there's a good chance it's not just your coffee talking back to you, something might actually require further inquisition and clarification.

Stay emotionally unattached and unavailable for manipulation. When you're letting your emotions call the shots, all kinds of problems can occur. Detach emotionally and stay in your logical brain. If you're caught up in emotions, you need to take a step back because you're about to make a big mistake.

Principles before personalities. Separate the people from the problems. Avoid falling into the trap of putting your counterpart into a box labeled "problem." If you think of this person as part of the problem, there is no solution to this problem because you're not going to fix, manage, or control other people's behavior.

Remain clinical, analytical, and pragmatic. Stay detached from the outcome and the emotionality of the circumstances and treat this like you're an analyst discussing hypotheticals with a colleague. This will help you remove your own emotional hang-ups and keep you from making any decisions based solely on feelings.

Unconditional positive regard. Become resolute in your intention to treat your counterpart with respect under any conditions. See their humanity, even if you have to dig through a lot of layers of ego to get to it. When in doubt, go back to the Golden Rule: treat others the way you want to be treated.

Before going in guns blazing, ask:

What is their vision of the future?

How does it affect their identity?

What kind of losses are they looking at?

What is important to them?

"Do you see what I see?" Your counterpart is only interested in what you have to say if you actually understand where they're coming from first, and you articulate that without a shadow of a doubt. If you don't see what they see the way they see it, then you don't understand where they're coming from and anything you have to say is irrelevant to them.

"How are you going to help me?" Your counterpart is only interested in how you're going to help them. If you can see the problem from their perspective and get creative about how you're going to help them with your mutual problem, you've got a much better shot at reaching a solution you can both live with.

Series of "no" questions. Ask them questions you want a "no" answer to that reflects their perspective. This lets them know you've been listening and are here to help. People are more willing to give a "no" than a "yes," so, utilize this and get them thinking about the possibility of working with you instead of against you.

Summarize why they're doing what they are doing using empathy and respect; validate their experience. When you've got a pretty good understanding of what they're after and why they're doing what they're doing, let them know that by empathetically reiterating the points they've made. Use deference and tact but avoid condoning or excusing their methods.

Keep the person separate from the problem. Get them out of that box you've labeled "problem" and get them thinking about working with you on solving your mutual problem with teamwork. There's a good chance this person just wants to be understood, validated, and respected. If you've already laid the groundwork for this, you're in a much better position to get a positive outcome.

Negotiate not position-focused but interest-oriented. You've gained their respect by respecting them. You've let them know that you see the problem from their perspective. You've expressed interest in helping them solve the problem by working together. Now focus on your interests and avoid digging your heels in and being stubborn on a point.

This is not an all-inclusive step-by-step guide. Use your neocortex and do your research before attempting to enter a high-stakes negotiation. You need tools, tactics, and techniques. The same level of understanding it took to get to the problem will not aid in solving the problem.

Remember, this isn't about a temporary fix, but a way of interacting with people, regardless of circumstances, that ensures you are doing the best you can with what you have to maintain a peaceful and cooperative environment for getting things done.

A tool is only as ethical as the one who wields it. You can use information to help or hurt. Don't be an asshole and do what you can for others.

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS

No more arms transfers! Ceasefire now. The hostages must come home.

637 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

Last week, President Biden expressed his outrage over the Israeli military’s killing of seven World Central Kitchen workers directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Within hours, the Israeli cabinet voted to increase aid deliveries in Gaza — a welcome sea change in its months-long siege that can help tens of thousands of people avoid famine.

There’s no need to wait for the Israeli military to make another deadly decision for President Biden to do all he can to save lives now. President Biden should enforce U.S. law immediately to suspend U.S. military aid to Israel and ensure the indiscriminate killing of aid workers and mass starvation of Palestinians ends today. We need the focus to shift to peace negotiations, rescuing the hostages, and rebuilding.

The U.S. government is likely the only one capable of swaying the Israeli government from deepening the crisis and tipping the entire region into all-out war. It must do so. Americans overwhelmingly want the carnage to stop.

Thanks.

जंग कहीं भी हो, हर मंच का सरपंच बनने की बेताबी, हर बार फेल रहे ट्रम्प!

विवाद कहीं भी हो, अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प खुद को 'मध्यस्थ' बनने की पेशकश सबसे पहले करते हैं. उन्होंने 22 जनवरी को पद संभालते ही सबसे पहले रूस और यूक्रेन का विवाद सुलझाने का वादा किया था. महीने बीत गए, अब तक विवाद खत्म नहीं हुआ. इजरायल और हमास के विवाद को भी खत्म करने की पेशकश की, विवाद अब तक खत्म नहीं हुआ है. वह भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच भी चले आ रहे विवाद को सुलझाने का दावा कर रहे हैं, दोनों देशों ने 10 मई से संघर्ष विराम समझौते के के लिए हामी तो भर दी है लेकिन स्थितियां अब भी तनावपूर्ण हैं. 

डोनल्ड ट्रम्प की कराई गई मध्यस्थता हमेशा सवालों के घेरे में रही है, वजह यह है कि उनके बयानों की तरह उनके कूटनीतिक चालों पर भी लोग यकीन नहीं कर पाते हैं. डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प को छोड़ दीजिए, जंग कहीं भी हो, दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा 'सरपंच' खुद को अमेरिका हमेशा बताता रहा है. 

डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प, अपने पूर्ववर्ती शासकों की परंपरा निभा रहे हैं. उनसे पहले जो बाइडेन, बराक ओबामा, जॉर्ज डब्ल्यू बुश, बिल क्विंटन और जॉर्ज HW बुश भी ऐसा कर चुके हैं. अमेरिका खुद को दुनिया का संरक्षक समझता है. अमेरिका दुनिया के हर विवाद में खुद को सबसे बड़ा मध्यस्थ बताता रहा है. दिलचस्प बात यह है कि अमेरिका के अलावा वैश्विक मध्यस्थ बनने की पेशकश भी कोई और नहीं करता है.

The Elusive Price of Peace

The price of peace cannot be measured in tangible terms. I was speaking to a family friend about the Hamas/Israeli ceasefire and pondered why we find it so challenging to coexist peacefully with our neighbours. My friend replied dryly, “We all have free will to kill and destroy, or…” a glint appeared in his brown eyes, “to love and live in peace.” His words kept echoing in my mind as I watched…
