This seems to imply that intelligence only exists in deliberate, conscious thought. Do you think that's true?
Second, revolving conflicts is not the same thing as getting into them, so it's unclear why bring that up at all.
- programjames 11mo agoTrue. I expect most conflicts come from people preferring not to think, and I also expect most conflicts escalate from people preferring not to think. Those are separate statements, and I only said the former. > This seems to imply that intelligence only exists in deliberate, conscious thought. Do you think that's true? Eh, I don't think it implies that, and I also don't think that is true.
- soiltype 11mo agoOk, but then... what does any of that have to do with "conflict resolution is not usually a function of intelligence"?
- programjames 11mo agoWhat you need for conflict resolution is usually a willingness to try to resolve the conflict. In rare situations, where communication and time is limited, you can actually run into the issue where you have to be smart enough to figure out what the other person wants (and see if you can come up with a mutually beneficial offer), but often in real life you can just spend more time thinking and ask them what they want.
