This week, we're going to be doing an exercise to help us have more productive disagreements. We'll be learning about and practising a technique called Double Crux, which is supposed to help us understand those who disagree with us more, and (gasp!) maybe even change our mind or theirs.
Optional readings
None of the readings for this week are compulsory, but if you want, you can read the following posts introducing the idea of a double crux, and the exercise we'll be doing.
After explaining how the process works, we'll all look at a list of topics that we might have strong opinions on. We'll then break into pairs and do the exercise with our partners on a topic we disagree on.
Location
Meet at Holland Village MRT Exit B (underground part) at 3 pm. We will wait for everyone to gather for 5-10 mins, and then head over to my nearby apartment. If you've been here before, feel free to come directly to the apartment (though you may need to wait to be let in).
Some snacks will be provided. There are many restaurants and a hawker centre nearby, if you want to buy your own food.
