- a lot of disagreement is because people use words differently, and they trigger different aspects of the object. For some people cow ==> cow in a farm, for others it might be a calf. when people say abortion, it triggers sfocus on specific memories that skew the debate
- have a meta awareness during conversations.
- recognize what lights people up, and ask them more questions on it. practice to do this.
- deep converstaions generally include the experiences they've had.
