Negations around the war in Ukraine teeter on a perilous edge after a disastrous performance by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week. Zelenskyy's brash tone and entitled expectation led to a breakdown in communication with Donald Trump and JD Vance. American news media reacted with their usual unhinged hyperbole, and foreign leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushed for World War III by increasing their commitment to the proxy war with Russia. Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClear Investigations, joins me to discuss.

We continue reading Part One of Being and Nothingness, with ch. 2, "Negations." We get some context and then jump into the classic question of whether existence in itself is just pure being, such that nothingness is just a result of human judgments on it, or whether nothingness is something objective that we grasp. We end by introducing the famous "absent Pierre in the café" example. Read along with us, starting on p. 36, i.e. PDF p. 87. To get future parts, subscribe at patreon.com/closereadsphilosophy.

On this episode Darrell Dee Sullins Jr and Darrell Sr give an update on what's new in life
Last time of Storm Kings Chaos: After discovering they had no way of retrieving the cloud giants Conch of teleportation, the group decided to arrange a meet with Countess Sansuri. The goal was to persuade and/or deceive her to let them use the conch to infiltrate the Maelstrom on her behalf. Negations fell through and only after Count Thullen intervened were the Mercs given a chance to prove themselves. The Countess challenged the Mercs to defeat herself and two other giants, seeming to be more focused on killing and disposing of the small folk. After a drawn out fight in which the Mercs subdued the giants, the Countess begrudgingly handed over the Conch. After a small detour by Arridol to rescue a captive dragon, the Mercs flew off to regroup and prepare to infuriate the Maelstrom. A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Tonight on The Huddle, former National press secretary Ben Thomas and former Labour chief of staff Mike Munro joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! Concerned Christchurch residents have been tracking a woman with a history of poisoning neighbourhood cats and making them sick- do authorities need to intervene? Once the final vote was known, Winston Peters called for a three-way meeting between himself, Chris Luxon and David Seymour. Is this sensible? Is it a good idea for Luxon to get the two of them negotiating together? The Labour caucus is set to meet tomorrow to vote on leadership- is Chris Hipkins the obvious choice? Will his caucus want him to carry on as leader? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Prime Minister-elect's leaving the door open to revealing details of a coalition deal. Arrangements in 2017 weren't publicly released, because the Chief Ombudsman ruled details couldn't be requested under the OIA- because it came within Jacinda Ardern's capacity as Labour leader. ACT's David Seymour is in coalition talks with National and says he'd be happy for his promises to be made public. ZB political editor Jason Walls says Seymour is quite transparent as a politician- and he'd want to see which of ACT's proposals made it through.

Join Wes Tankersley on this episode of Shaping Success as interviews Mark England, the head coach of Enlifted. Mark describes himself as a “language geek” saying words influence us for better or for worse. His job at nlifted is to certify coaches so they can dismantle the victim mentality of his clients and teach people the power of words.Mark's story of success starts when he was into Jujitsu before it was called Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He went to Thailand with aspirations to go pro, but two knee surgeries sidelined him from pursuing that goal. He spent 10 years in Thailand thinking of himself as a loser because he lost his identity as a fighter. When in Thailand, he went to a spa and did cleanse programs. Because he felt better, he went back 2 more times. The 3rd time there he met Barry Musgrave who did a Ted Talk on the power of words. Barry helps a woman consumed with a breakup look at the situation differently just by changing the words. He helped her on her road to success in dealing with breakup by changing her story to not make her the victim. This encounter set up Mark for success and happiness as he discovered the power of words. He realizes it's easier for people to externalize the blame and make themselves the victim than to look within themselves for allowing the situation to happen. The key to success in changing the story is to write it down word for word in a conversational manner. The more specific the better. Once it is on paper, the words can be changed to see a different perspective. Mark describes mindset as the story one tells himself. It can be positive or negative. While in Thailand, Mark made his path to success by becoming a Physical Education teacher. In 2003, he used his mindset for achievement by buying DVDs for modality and martial arts training. In 2006, he did a 5 day training program. In January 17, 2007, he became a pro. Mark gives the definition of the victim mentality as an acquired personality trait where a person tends to regard himself as the victim of the negative actions of others even in the absence of clear evidence. This is a habit one develops over time. Mark gives 3 words and their definitions of someone with a victim mentality: Projections, Negations, and Softtalk. Mark emphasizes the importance of writing the words on paper. Get the story externalized and out of the mind. Once it is concrete, it can be changed.

On this week's episode, I welcomed Taylor Sleaford, a Life and Leadership Coach with a 10 year background in Fitness and Sports Performance. He started as a College Strength & Conditioning Coach working at schools such as University of South Alabama, College of Charleston, Colorado State University and Clemson University. After a decade of working in the world of sport performance he found the common link in most high performers is a deep purpose and mindset that enabled them realize their goals. It was a seamless transition to helping people more specifically with personal growth to reach their peak potential in all aspects of life! In the episode, we covered things like: - How much you can change once you start implementing mindset changes in conjunction with your diet and exercise. - What goal setting actually is and how you should be setting your goals and chasing up how you word them. - Negations and Affirmations - How to create awareness around these negative thoughts. - Behavior Change - The All or Nothing Mindset - Learning how to change your identity.

We were talking about those deep stories that are buried inside, covered with armor, holding up your shield.” “This last weekend, we let down the shield, took off the armor, we got vulnerable and it was okay because we were in a place with the most caring savages you can possibly meet.”“I know that language and understanding your internal beliefs and the words that you choose to use is the most profound realization that you can come to.”“I've been doing one thing for that entire 15 years, which is staring at words, helping people with their stories, their identities, and unlocking their breath.”“When mindset is held in macro conversation, it's this thing that we know we need to get better at, but how?”“When we learn about what words to use less of and why, and what words to use more of and why, then mindset gets practical. We can practice thinking, speaking, and writing in better ways.”“You can listen to these episodes, or any podcast, or read any book all you want, but knowledge is not power. Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes powerful once you implement it in your lifestyle.”“When people get themselves into an upregulated state, it's usually through a story. Very rarely do people go run some wind sprints and then walk in the door and get in an argument with their spouse because they're upregulated and stressed.”“Good luck changing your clients' minds if their breath is trapped in their chest.”“With people's breath in their chest, their capacity to hear goes down, their capacity to learn goes down, we lose access to our peripheral vision and our creative faculties, so it's good to know what words to use to help people get their breath back down to their abdomen so they can hear you.”“I got tired of myself because I didn't laugh for a year and that's a very spooky thing to do.”“I entrenched a victim mentality so deeply in me, it robbed me of my ability to laugh and enjoy myself and connect with people. I was so disconnected and also was just not present because I was caught up in this never-ending story of woe.”“My identity is not a fact. It's not the fact of who or what I am, it's an ongoing, fluid, flexible process and guess what? We participate in that. We did not learn this in school.”“The victim mentality is an acquired personal trait where a person tends to regard himself or herself as the victim of the negative actions of others, even in the absence of clear evidence. The victim mentality depends on a habitual thought process and attributions.”“The victim mentality depends, as in it has to have a habitual thought process. Habitual accurately implies duration and addiction.”“So if the victim mentality, which in my personal and professional opinion, and a lot of people in this game, it's the thief in the night!” “This thing is coming for everything. It wants it all. It wants your time, it wants your attention, it wants your relationship, it wants to squat in the entirety of your mental real estate, it wants to rob you of your talent - it's sneakier than shit.”“What's more seductive than our own voice in our own mind? Most people are defenseless to that.”“There are ways that we can use our words to increase our stress, to trap our breath, to turn things into absolute huge insurmountable problems, there are ways to do that.”“When I say “how can I ever get over this?” - I'm saying to myself I'm screwed, I can't get over this, my reticular activating system sees it as this immovable thing, this impossible ordeal.”“When I take out the word, it's a presupposition. I pre-suppose that I can't get over it, so I'm not looking for the way how.”“I pre-suppose that there are ways to get over this so my reticular activating system, not only does it shrink the thing down in my imagination and turn the volume down on the feels, it starts looking for things that we can take action on.”“If you make some seemingly minor adjustments in your everyday ordinary language, you're gonna get an immediate return right now, and then there's gonna be some really cool, down stream, knock-off effects.”“When I say language, I mean internal dialogue and external dialogue. What we think, what we say, and what we write.”“If you have a story that's playing in your head, an interpretation of what you believe your story to be, simply by switching around some words and taking some out, using architecture language, instantly makes it better.”“It's your language. Nobody's gonna change your language for you.”“There are three pillars of conflict language and these three pillars are responsible for roughly 85% of the ouch, sting, pain, and woe in people's lives.”“The three pillars are soft talk, negations, and projections. Soft talk is where the decision and anxiety come from, the anxiety related to indecision. Negations, that's where the worry and the worst case scenario comes from. Projections, that's the venom.”“The soft talk keywords - think, maybe, sort of, kind of, guess, like, almost like, possibly, probably, try, seems, hopefully. Those words, depending on the person, I guarantee that these are in your language. To some degree, they are there and for some of you, they're a major problem.”“What they inevitably do in a very sneaky way, it's death by a thousand cuts, is that they trick you into thinking that you're an indecisive person.”“If you want to double your confidence, you can double your confidence in 6 weeks by taking out 50% of your soft talk.”“The first thing my driving teacher said when I got in the car was “look where you wanna go, because you're probably gonna go there”.”“The negation keywords - can't, won't, isn't, hasn't, haven't, not, shouldn't. Those words are gonna force you to stare at the worst case scenario, whether you like it or not.”“They're the nuclear codes. Nothing will pucker up somebody's butthole faster than a good old fashioned projection.”“When you change your words, you change your stories, and you change your identities. When you change your words, you change what you see, you change how you feel, and if you do it in a conscious way, we go from an upregulated sympathetic nervous system response state to a downregulated parasympathetic nervous system response state.”

From the museums of the fifteenth century, to the public lectures of Michael Faraday in the nineteenth century, and to various science fairs & festivals of the twenty-first century, public engagement of science has evolved immensely. Public engagement of science in this age of hyper connectivity is “a multidimensional and multi-directional activity”. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps I speak with professor Bruce Lewenstien, a widely-known authority on public communication of science and technology. Bruce Lewenstein is a professor of science communication at Cornell University. He has done extensive work on how science and technology are reported to the public and how the public understands complex and sometimes contested scientific issues. He studies and documents the ways that public communication of science is fundamental to the process of producing reliable knowledge about the natural world. We begin by discussing the “multidimensional” and “multidirectional” nature of science communication. We then focus on the evolution of science communication from the early days of science to present time. We touch upon the huge impact on the public understanding of science that few books published in the mid-twentieth century had. We discuss in detail documentaries such as “The Ascent of Man” and “Cosmos” and the emergence of the phenomenon of “celebrity scientists”. The effectiveness of science communication in the age of information overload and in the age of misinformation and disinformation is an important topic that we discuss. We then discuss the challenges faced by the process of science communication and the societal challenges that effective science communication can help us to deal with. Complement this discussion with “A Passion for Ignorance” and for Denials and Negations with Professor Renata Salecl” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2020/10/a-passion-for-ignorance-and-for-denials-and-negations-with-professor-renata-salecl/ and then listen to “Philosophy of Information” and “Ethics of Information” with Professor Luciano Floridi” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2020/07/philosophy-of-information-and-ethics-of-information-with-professor-luciano-floridi/
“The theory of the asuras is that the living entities are born of material nature, or prakriti, in touch with the purusha. This theory also cannot be accepted because both the material nature and the Supreme Personality of Godhead are eternally existing. Neither the material nature nor the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be born. The Supreme Lord is known as aja, or unborn.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 2, Ch 32)

A federal grand jury indicted Steve Bannon on two criminal contempt of Congress charges. Here is what to expect moving forward, from Monday's presentment in court to possible plea nogotiaons with prosecutors to trial and sentencing. This video also discusses why it took 22 days for the DC US Attorney's Office to indict Bannon. Plus, with Mark Meadows committing the very same crime today by refusing to appear on a congressional subpoena, might he face the same fate as Bannon? All in all, today was a good day for justice.

Welcome to the the Radiant Festival, held every 100 years, where people come from all over the world to visit the sites, magics, and other grand endeavors! With any grand event with massive tourism, comes crime, and danger, and to combat this threat, and keep the festival goers safe a new city watch organization was created called the Edgewatch! As our contingent of guards make their way through the pagoda, trying to locate the hostages, and in search of the masons, while not doing any irreparable damage to the building, they stumble upon more kolbolds, and are forced to take action to stop the virulent lawbreaking, and take them down. But the final group of kolbolds may be more receptive to a discussion than the last! Please bear with us, as we had some sound issues, and we had to use the stream audio instead of the local feed, so you may notice some audio quality loss. Thank you for listening!

Ignorance, denials and negations have always been part of human experience. In this post-truth, post-industrial world, we often feel overwhelmed by the information and misinformation overload. Although we claim to live in an information age, consciously or unconsciously, actively or passively more and more we are choosing to ignore, deny and negate facts and valid opinions. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with philosopher and sociologist Professor Renata Salecl and we this discuss this “passion for ignorance”. In her recent book “A Passion for Ignorance: What We Choose Not to Know and Why” Renata Salecl explores how the passion for ignorance plays out in many different aspects of life today. Renata Salecl is professor at the School of Law at Birkbeck College, University of London and senior researcher at the Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I open our discussion by asking Professor Salecl to unpack and explain various faces of ignorance that she outlines at the start of the book. We discuss the transformation of the knowledge economy to ignorance economy as she reports in the book. This book is organised very well; most chapters in the book start by outlining some kind of ignorance, this could be an active or passive ignorance, conscious or unconscious ignorance, and then Salecl discusses underlying reasons and possible impact of these denials and negations. In this discussion we touch upon a variety of denials and negations and forms of ignorance. We start with an important form of negation which is “choosing to ignore scientific evidence”. We also discuss the emergence of new forms of denials and ignorance in this age of Big Data. Drawing on philosophy, social and psychoanalytic theory, popular culture, and her own experience, Salecl explains that ignorance is a complex phenomenon that can, on occasion, benefit individuals and society as a whole. Complement this discussion with Professor Justin Smith’s fascinating views on Irrationality available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2019/06/irrationality-a-history-of-the-dark-side-of-reason-with-professor-justin-smith/ And then listen to Professor Luciano Floridi’s thoughts on Philosophy and Ethics of Information at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2020/07/philosophy-of-information-and-ethics-of-information-with-professor-luciano-floridi/

My name is Kyle Gray, and we have a very special show for several reasons. I think this is the first show that we've had a guest come back for a second time on the podcast, and we're doing a special video podcast with a live audience with Mark England. Mark, thank you so much for joining me today. Mark England: Hey buddy. Thanks for having me back. Kyle Gray: So Mark, you are involved in a lot of different things. You've had a lot of adventures. And when you are just at an event or introducing yourself to somebody, how do you introduce yourself? How do you come across? How do you bring out your story? Mark England: It depends on my mood. If I want to have a longer drawn out explanation of what we're doing, I say we, I mean my business partners and Procabulary. I talk about us as storytellers. And when I want to keep it a little bit short, I just say I'm a teacher. Because both of those are true. And yes, the storytelling part. It's important for me to be able to demonstrate an ability to use my words in certain ways. First and foremost to myself. And then when it comes to the talks we give and our clients, it's a skill that people are lacking. And it comes from our educational background. Mark England: I was a teacher before I got involved in the good attitude business, as we like to call it. And on both sides of that conversation when I was coming up in the public school system and when I was getting a degree in education, I didn't have any classes, or courses, or conversations even about how my language was affecting me. As in the stories I was telling myself and the identities that I was creating. And that's what we do now. We do it for the general public and we also have a company that we do that for the fitness industry too. So it depends. It depends. Kyle Gray: So, I've seen some of your work and I've seen the impact it has. And one of the things I love about your form of storytelling, it's useful, it's practical. It can be applied in how I work. It can be applied in my relationships, how I interact with my partner, and how I interact with myself. And you've put together a system that makes this kind of language different, different kinds of language and different kinds of stories, really clear. It brings a lot of things forward that is invisible to most of us. And will you just kind of lay the framework of the different kind of language that you have really explored and helped people work with? Mark England: Sure. If I may tell the story of the key that brought a lot of this together for us. And that was the first time I was introduced to the concept of abracadabra. I was living in Ecuador at the time. I'd always fantasized about renting, getting a house in a remote part of somewhere and going there and writing a book. And I did. And while I was down there, we were at dinner with some very good friends. And one of the guys at the table knew I was involved in the language game. And he said, "Hey Mark, do you know what Abracadabra means?" And I said, "Yeah, magic." He said, "No, no, there's much more to within that. Abracadabra is, it's Aramaic. It means, it translates to with our words we're creating, with our words we influence." Mark England: That was a big deal for me, because it gave me a lens to see language through. So there's only so many ways I can upset myself. And when I started doing one on one coaching, it was in a very simple environment. Two chairs, two people facing each other. And I paid very close attention to what they were saying, but also how what they were saying was influencing them. And there have only been a handful of things that have captured my fascination in life. Mark England: Martial arts has been one of them. Storytelling has been another. So I started taking notes about what words did what to people. And I noticed these patterns more and more in the conversations I was having with my clients. And also in the conflicts I was creating for myself in my own life. So we in the Procabulary system, we mapped out a subset of the English language, and we call it conflict language. And there are three main pillars to it. Negations, talking about what you can't do. What isn't possible, what shouldn't happen, what's not going to work out for us. It's the style of language people use for worrying. And then there's projections, which it's how people place blame externally. And then also soft talk. And that has at the core of 80% of all the problems, and issues, and conflicts that I've seen in my private practice and with people using Procabulary. And like I said, also, this pertains to me 100%. I was talking to Dallas before in the break and he said that I'm always, everything that I say comes back to me too. I'm always coaching myself, my future self. So as I've gotten more comfortable with words and the stories that we're creating, I'm learning a lot about myself too. It's helped me tremendously. Kyle Gray: With some of this conflict language, can you give us some examples of each of the three types of conflict language? And then tell us what's happening within those. And I think just saying the words, a lot of people just feeling them, can experience them. But what's really going on? Mark England: Sure. So abracadabra really is such a big part of this. And with our words, we're influencing aspects of our experience of ourselves, or our identity. And we like to focus on four. So I tell this story a lot simply because it puts everything on the table in a short amount of time. I've shared this on your podcast. We'll do it again now. Mark England: I was coaching a young man, we were brought up to do some sales training in a company in Canada. And we did some one on one coaching afterwards. And I was in a room, we were facing each other in chairs. And he said, "Mark, I can't keep focusing on my past." And turned around twice that fast and looked behind him. And just like you're looking at me right now, obviously you saw me do that. So did everybody in the audience. He didn't know if we did that. And I pointed it out. Mark England: I said, "You know you just turned around and look behind you, right?" And he goes, "Really?" I said, "Yeah, what did you see?" And he had to stop and think, which brings up another interesting point. Our language influences us so fast. And yet he stopped and thought about it. He said, "I saw myself all alone and on the couch." That's two. I asked him how he was feeling. He said anxious and a little bit fearful. And then I asked him how he was breathing. So with that sentence, I can't. Keyword right there. Keep focusing on my past. And when he said that, do you think he was focusing on all the nice parts about his life and where he'd come from? No. He'd brought all of the problems and just set them right there in front of him to look at once again, and stressed himself out. So with his imagination, here's the four parts. And we like to look at this as legs of a table. So these are the four supporting legs and the table is our identity. Mark England: One of them is our imagination. He made that picture of him on the couch. The second is his physical body. His words influenced his physicality. And if anyone has seen someone confidently present, you've seen their words influencing them in ways. If you've seen someone talk about anything and they're doing this a lot and doing this, that's the other side of the coin. So two, imagination and his physical body. His emotions. He was anxious. And then his breathing. He put himself in a stressed state and trapped his breathing up in his chest. Mark England: Now back to school, I didn't have any classes on how my language was influencing my imagination, or my physiology, or my emotions, or my breathing. It came down to spelling, grammar, and definitions. And our language is so much more alive in us individually and culturally than that. And that's what the study of Procabulary and Enlifted is too. It fascinates me to no end. It takes me to the edges and limits of my intellect, and I really love that. Mark England: Another example. So that's an example of a negation. I can't keep focusing on my past. I don't want to spend all my money this weekend. We're not going to keep having so many arguments, Kyle. So what I'm doing is I'm forcing myself to focus on the worst case scenario, whether I want to or not. And then the other pillar, there's three. There's a projection. "He's always controlling me," or, "She never lets me think for myself." Or, "The government's always on your back." What those statements do is that there is a he or she or something in there, and then myself. And the way the language is set up, the syntax of it, it forces me to create a victim and a villain picture in my mind. And I know no one that likes to be victimized. Yet I do that to myself in my imagination, and it has a cascading effect in my experience of myself, the way I feel. The way I breathe and the way I move. And then soft talk. So if when you invited me to come on the show or invited me to come here, which we very much appreciate, I said, "I think we can probably make it out there sometime." What are you going to do? Look for somebody else, because I've got commitment issues. Whether I want to be solid in my ability to move forward in my life or not. Mark England: I watched a good friend of mine, he was talking to someone. He's very good at what he does, really good at what he does. Someone was talking to him about bringing him on for a presentation. And he goes, "I think we can make some decisions about it at some time." And it just stopped right there. The person goes, "Okay." And the conversation changed. And one thing I've been thinking about a lot is opportunity. There's sayings about opportunity because it's such a valuable thing to be able to cultivate. Opportunity knocks, it doesn't nag. And it shows up in opportunities real. It shows up in work clothes. We have to be able to see it. And all of the things that we're talking about. I'm no scientist. I'm not a psychologist, a psychiatrist. I have no degrees in any of that. I'm a language enthusiastic. Okay? And for the people that want some more scientific meat on the bones for this conversation, look up something called the reticular activating system. This in my personal and professional opinion is one of the most valuable things that people can study when it comes to what we allow ourselves to be able to see, and how we eventually end up seeing ourself. Mark England: So I told this story on the podcast, and I'm going to add a couple of other ones to it. My car got stolen August, 2017. I'm going to make this short too. And walked out the door. My car's gone, called the police. They're coming. Then I call my dad. I said, "Dad, car got stolen. I need the farm truck." The farm truck, which is a mint condition, 1985 Ford F-150, two tones of Brown. My dad bought it off the showroom floor. It stays out the farm underneath the canopy. It's awesome. Mark England: I started driving that car around Richmond, Virginia. And within a matter of a day, I started seeing more and more Ford F-150 of that same make and model. Most people have had that experience. Mark England: Our reticular activating system, it's a very old piece of hardware. It's responsible for finding things. And if someone grows up and they hear their parents say a couple of times with some emotional charge to it, "It's just so hard to get ahead these days." Or, "People are only ever out for themselves." Or, "I could have been so much farther ahead than I am right now." Let's just pretend that they hear those five sentences, five times before they're 10, with some emotional oomph. That goes in there and it limits their ability to see things. One of my mentors, he said, "We create our opportunities." And I agree with that, and we also create our ability to see opportunities. And if I'm thinking that people are always out to get you, then my reticular activating system takes that as true, especially the stuff I get emotional about. And it overlays a veneer on everyone, and I'm going to have trouble picking out the people that are competent and transparent, and capable, and would be worthwhile to go into a business venture with. Or maybe a personal relationship. Mark England: Women are only out for one thing, or guys are only out for one thing. Pick your idea. Our language is constantly influencing the lens of what we see, and how we see ourselves. And most people's language, it works against them, Kyle. And that really is just a learned behavior. We've inherited our language, our language is an inheritance. And we're teaching people to have better conversations with themselves about themselves. Mark England: And Lord knows I needed that. I was the consummate victim for a number of years in my life, let's just say 15. And it crescendoed in a foreign country, Thailand. And I was a very bitter person for a while, and it took me a matter of years until I started working out the pieces of what was actually going on in my storytelling process. And once I did, that was the beginning of me valuing my mind or my language, the conversation I have with myself and what I say to other people. Kyle Gray: Now you're hinting at a change here, we've kind of gotten the bad news. This language, if we don't use it intelligently. A lot of us, there's lots of common pitfalls that we fall into with what we're saying, what we're doing, and our work, and our relationships, and even in our own ramblings what's going on in our brain. Kyle Gray: So you have another kind of language. We've examined conflict language. Can you show me, what's the solution? How do we move forward now that we, how do we upgrade this language? Mark England: Phenomenal question. The counterbalancing subset in the Procabulary system, there's a lot of great systems out there. This is just how we've named things, and yeah. So we have conflict language. And over here, this is the art and science of stressing ourselves out. Over here, we have architect language. And it also has three pillars. Mark England: So story time. I know you're into stories. Once that young man said, "I can't keep focusing on my past," and I made some highlights of his experience, helped him see some things. I said, "Get out of pen and get out a piece of paper." Two of the most powerful tools in my opinion, that are available to us pretty much everywhere. There's a lot of pens and there's a lot of pieces of paper in this room right now. Those are magical instruments by definition. I can recite the definition of magic if you want me to. Mark England: And I had him write that statement down. "I can't keep focusing on my past." And I asked him, I said, "Well if that's what you can't keep doing, what can you start doing?" And he had to think, which is great. And he looked up where a lot of times where we get our inspiration from. He said, "Focus on my future more?" And he said it like a question, "Focus on my future more?" Went up like this. And I said, "Yes. Now, make a statement out of it." "I can focus on my future more. Yeah, I can. I can." And he wrote that down, and three things that he needed to work on in the next three months to improve his job. And one of them was having monthly lunches with his mentor. Two was taking a course on closing, because this was a sales conversation. And three, it was just get out and network more. Okay? Mark England: Right there, that's the art and science of focusing on what we do want. So cans, wills, haves, shoulds, coulds. Those are affirmations. Then we go to the projections. The projections over here. That's the victim and the villain mental imagery. And over here we have reflections. So she made me agree with her. When I recognize myself, and we had a conversation, someone asked Dallas, "How do you know when you're upset?" I know when I'm upset when I'm breathing poorly. Okay? That's one of the ways. I'm locked up. I'm all tense. I'm like, "Wait a minute. There's one of the red flags." She made me agree with her. I take out the she, because I know what words do what most of the time. And I put in I. I made me agree with her. And now I've got two stories to choose from. Now I have choice. When I blindly believe every single thought that shows up in my head, rough draft, I'm setting myself up for problems. Same thing. I ended in plenty of rough drafts in high school and I've never got better than a C. Okay? But, I did hand in some second and third drafts. Okay? Mark England: It's the same thing with our conversations that we have with yourself. First thought that shows up. Okay, yes. How, how well formulated is that thought? Oh, well I am making those pictures and I am getting those kinds of feelings, and I'm breathing up here. So let's redraft it, take out the she's and he's and the government and put it in and see how much more accurate it is. Because a lot of times it is. You're going to have a hard time making me think about anything. At the end of the day, I make me think about what I think. And that is a very empowering and inspiring revelation. Because otherwise, then I really would have a problem. Most of the time I'm just confused about what I'm doing to myself. And then the third pillar is solid talk, and it's simply taking out the soft talk keywords. Thinks maybes, mights, possiblys. Some days, hopes, tries. It's almost like. Kyle Gray: I think that one's the most common one. I think it's so easy to slip in. It's so easy to just say some of those words, and it makes you feel a little more comfortable. But I think conversation is full of soft talk. Mark England: That's where we begin the conversation. If I've only got a short amount of time to talk, I'll bring up some of these examples. And I'll say, "Just take a couple of these out." Because in most people's language and for whatever reason, the younger generations use it even more. And it's a fun conversation to have. I'll start it by saying, "Ladies, what would you do if a man came up and he said, 'I think I might want to actually take you out on a date one day, maybe.'" And they all do the same thing, which is giggle. And they're like, "Oh gosh." Take those things out and watch what happens. There's an energetic emotional reaction in us. We feel more solid, and sturdy, and capable. And that's a good thing because most people want to feel that way as opposed to prolonged bouts of indecision, which is its own flavor of stressful. So if we use our language in just a little bit more of a conscious, constructive, considerate way, we get to architect our internal world first. And that's a great place to start, in my opinion. Kyle Gray: When we are using this architect language, there's several big realms of opportunity. We've given some examples of how we can speak to this for ourselves, and our own language, and our own dialogue. There's a few examples of relationships. And one really big one where this is taking place and can because a lot of stress, and can in some cases be the rise or the fall of a company is where we work, and how we work, and how we communicate with each other. Right now, where this is being filmed, we're in a startup that's based on foundational ideas of really documenting exactly what you do, and having that be extremely clear. Can you tell us some examples of what are some of the common pitfalls that we see in our workplaces, and what are some of the ways that we can transform those to improve the satisfaction of work, but also our productivity? Mark England: Back to the soft talk again. Most people, their use of soft talk and we have a number of women clients. They bring up the desire to be assertive, yet comfortable. Okay? And when we talk about remediating and taking out the soft talk, it brings up a sense of anxiety in them most of the time. Because they don't want to come across as pushy. Okay? They don't want to come across as other words that we could use. There is an expressed need to be liked and accepted. Yes, I understand that. But most people tiptoe around issues at work and they do it to a fault, and they do it accidentally with soft talk. So becoming more solid in their speech. What I've noticed, and I have two companies that I've co-founded. Is that the more solid people are with their language, the better boundaries there are. The more clear the goals are, the more clear the roles and accountabilities are. And when that goes up, misunderstandings and miscommunications go down. Mark England: And then another great way to derail progress in work environments is gossiping. Okay? When someone gets their head around the projection, reflection conversation, gossip comes way down. Because you're really only ever talking about yourself. Most people have been in groups or at least witnessed someone that likes to consistently bring up negative situations at work. That is, well I've already said it. It's very disruptive, extremely disruptive. Mark England: The San Antonio Spurs, they're a model organization. And they have been very vocal about and very selective about who they bring in. And a common misunderstanding is that we can bring one negative person into a group, and the positivity of the group will uplift that negative person. It's the exact opposite. Mark England: So having a way of creating a culture in a work environment where people are taking responsibility for the stories they're telling themselves and a way to check themselves before it goes like this. That's really how it goes a lot of the times when we take just a couple of extra moments. And I'll talk about that in a moment. Mark England: That's a huge bonus for the overall vibe in a working environment. All of this goes for our personal lives as well. And then let's talk about where we want to go, and the process that we need to commit to get there. Okay? Which is affirmation. Okay? Mark England: We've watched groups and organizations radically transform their ability to be productive, and work well together, and cohesive, and have a good time. That's really one of the pulses to take in my opinion for companies and organizations, how much phone are people having while they're producing? And when we're watching that, we're watching real magic happen in my opinion. You're talking about rhythm. You're talking about consistency, talking about building momentum. There has to be, whether it's consciously created or just the right group of people get together at the right time, there has to be a uniform, unified way of using language. If we talk about group identity or any of these larger parts of the conversation. If we want to get practical, then we have to get down to a granular conversation about what words are doing what. Because then, it is. It's practical. I can practice this. I can practice this way of thinking of speak. Kyle Gray: Speaking of practice, which this does require practice. And it requires not only just being aware of the words, but there's an irony to saying there's conflict language and then there's architect language. Because I think being in conflict language in some ways, especially soft talk. Avoids being confrontational or expressing who you are and what you're trying to stay, and hide, and be like. Kyle Gray: This is something that's very common, a common issue. And I think your observation on younger generations having more and more soft talk, I think it's a factor of the world and environment we've grown up in. And there's always a different opportunity to focus on. Kyle Gray: So developing our architect language requires us to say what we want in a way that leaves us open for rejection, or criticism. And these other types of languages are being specific and being positive. They require us to get out of our comfort zone. And what are some of your ways, or maybe some stories of people that you've worked with in working this muscle of being confrontational or being authentic, and really being true in your language? Mark England: Got it. the way that we recommend starting, the place we recommend starting here. And I've been giving this particular piece of advice for the past two years. I'm going to do it for another eight more and see what happens. This is how comfortable, keyword, I am with this piece of advice. Is for anyone that wants to get a better understanding of what words are doing what, slow down their rate of speech by about 15 to 20%. And it will give you a lot more space, so to speak. You're going to breathe better. Which makes you a better listener right off the bat. And then you'll have the mental real estate to connect the dots between what words are doing what. Mark England: We coach a lot on presentation skills, and we've got a lot of success stories just in that one part of the conversation of people going from insecure to confident on stage, which is a massive leap. And then from there, going confident to comfortable. That's where we want to help people get within themselves about what they're saying. So when one of our most recent clients, she's in sales. And she very much appreciates her higher ups. Their ability to say what they mean and be okay with it. Before she signed on with us, she was using a lot of soft talk to dance around the issue, to hopefully make everyone feel all right while she was feeling disconnected and disempowered in herself. And what happens is that people will socialize these ideas with themselves, their ability to speak directly, solidly, affirmatively, with comfort. That's the sweet spot. That's very much the sweet spot. I was in slow classes. Mark England: I'm the poster boy for this stuff. If someone had told me when I was 16 years old, 15 years old, that when you're 42, you will have given X hundred amount of presentations, and you will have done these kinds of talks, and you'll be the face for two communication companies. And you will actually look forward to getting in front of cameras and speaking with people. I mean, I was in classes for people that were just straight up slow. Okay? I would've laughed at that. And the fact that it's a reality is a testament to the, well, I'll say it again. Mark England: The reality that our language is powerful and we've got ways of using it. I never considered this stuff. No one in my family ever considered these things. So me doing this on my own in one sense or at least starting this path at one point in time. Mark England: Here's where I'm going with it Kyle. If I can do it, anybody can do it. I have fun on stage now. I'm comfortable on stage now. Where before, I remember my first presentation was to 12 of my friends and it felt like I was sweating electricity. That's not fun. So it's a skill. And just like anything that you've gotten better at, whether it's writing books, giving podcasts, rock climbing, hanging off a ledge with just a pinkie hanging on a rock. Whatever it is, we can get better at it. And storytelling is what it is. It is a skill. Kyle Gray: So it's interesting you mentioned a juxtaposition between yourself at 16 and yourself now. And you're the same person, but what you see as possible, what you see as even fun or comfortable, or where the opportunities are, have changed. And this reminds me of something that came up over a dinner conversation last night. There was a statement that you made that I'm not going to say as most likely. But identity is the most powerful tool in your life, or the most valuable asset that you can work on. Can you unpack that for me and show us how we work that? Mark England: Sure. The universe has a sense of humor. I was asked that question, "What's your take on identity?" Two and a half years ago. And it was during a podcast. It was not live. And I knew what the guy was going to say before he said it. And I had no access to that information whatsoever. I had nothing to say. I totally blanked. And I stood there and I looked at him, and I looked away, and I looked back at him, and the other guy on the show goes, "This better be good." I was like, "We got to stop, because I do not know what to say right now." Mark England: So they did, and we talked about other things. Three months later, I'm on stage at TEDxRVA giving a TED talk on the difference between the current definition of identity and our experience of identity. So hardy har har. The current definition of identity, we have a lot to say about this. The current definition of identity, and this is Webster's, is the fact of being who or what a person is. Great, thank you. Now, does anyone here listening to this see themselves as they did when they were five? No. Everybody sees themselves differently. So we're not facts. Our identities are not facts. They're ongoing, fluid, flexible processes. And we participate in these ongoing processes with the language that we use. And it's my personal and professional opinion. Take it or leave it. Is that our identity, how we see ourself. Also known as the conversation we have with yourself about yourself. And the language, the words that we use to create the stories that create our experiences, that pattern our identity. And there we are, here I am. Mark England: It's the most powerful influence in our life. It's the master key to personal and professional development. Understanding that identity is flexible, and understand that certain words take us in this direction, certain words take us in this direction. Certain words help me open up my breath. That's a large part of the reason why we're standing here, or sitting here today is that we got on a podcast in functional fitness. We had something to say there is that hey, these words are constricting your breathing. And the way you breathe while you work out is very, very important. We got on and unpack that for a couple of hours and they were like, cool. And that just fascinates me and this gets a little bit out there. Like I previously said, it takes me to the limits of my intellect. Mark England: Am I Mark, am I the character Mark England? Or, am I the ability to create the character of Mark? One is a static thing. The other one's a process. To the best of my observation, I am much more of a process. Because I could have a different name, you could take this exact same hardware and put me in, what were we talking about this morning? Mongolia. Give me a different name and a different language, and I'm going to have a completely different process going on. Completely different experience. And pro in Procabulary, it doesn't stand for professional, it stands for process. Process language. We want to help put people in motion in themselves, and help them focus more on what they want, and less on what they don't want. And take responsibility for the things that they need to so they can grow. Okay? In the ways that feel good. And to stop humming and umming and erring, and thinking, and maybe-ing. And, "I might be able to do that one thing, but if only those three things would happen and that one person didn't say that to me when I was nine." And all these things. Take that and shrink it down, and make some moves, man. Because losses, the L's are coming. Life throws curve balls, and everybody takes losses, and sometimes they're big. Mark England: This is one of my favorite sayings is, "I would rather be trampled in the stadium than be a spectator in the stands." I'm an average guy through and through. I go for things. If I have any superpower at all, I go for stuff. And when I mess up, I go and lick my wounds, and dust myself off, and take a shower, and drink a cup of coffee, and get back in there. It's like I know that about myself. Mark England: And I've learned to do that. I learned to do that. I was not that way as a kid. And that skill developed as I changed what I said to myself. I used to trash talk myself to try to get a great result out of myself. I'd say things that I would hunt someone down if they said them to my nieces. But I said them to myself. Because it's me, I can say these things to myself. Hopefully I'll get a good result. It didn't happen. Didn't happen. I train wrecked myself. I was a kickboxer, and I blew out my knee a couple of times and then hurt myself. Because looking back on it, knowing what I know now, there was no other way that could have turned out. And I'm glad it turned out that way, because I like myself now. Even when things were going real well in that whole thing, I didn't like me. But I kept the lid on, barely. Kyle Gray: Wow. That is just a really powerful avenue of transformation. And it's interesting to kind of question, even the boundaries of where I really begin, and what's around me? But it's encouraging to know and to see we don't have control of everything that happens to us or what's going to happen. And one of the only factors that we really do have control over is the story that we're telling about the situation. But that's how we move forward and we create that identity, that unfolds the life before us. And I think that that's really incredible. Mark, it's been so much fun exploring all of these different elements of language with you. And I want to open it up. We have time for one or two questions. But do you have a closing statement to send us off with? Mark England: I do. It is officially my favorite quote. And we just finished up at an Enlifted training. We took 20 athletes through our online program. Instructor led, myself and Mike Bledsoe did. And as we were getting to the end, people were having a much greater skill. They developed the skill of being able to laugh at themselves more. They were gaining great benefit from it. People were, I'll leave the miraculousness of it out of it. Mark England: And towards the end, I started using this quote, because it pertains. If you laugh at the devil, he will run away. If we laugh at our boogeyman. Because that's what happens if we take this conversation far enough with the architect language. And that feels so much better than wasting a weekend blaming somebody for things that I'm actually doing to myself. And yet I have very little ability to articulate things in a different way. So I only have one way of storytelling. You know the power of storytelling as much as anybody. And having options is fun, man. There it is. Kyle Gray: Thank you. Any questions here? Mark England: What inspires me to continue to do this work with people with the language? Feedback. So there's two sides of that street. Feedback is one of them. With the course that we just finished up. And it's amazing what someone with just a little bit of understanding of the language game can do for themselves and other people. One of our students came back and said, "Hey, I just wanted to share this. I am a K-9 handler police officer. And we got called to someone, got called to a home. They were having, this person was having a legit nuclear meltdown. And I would've taken them to the hospital, the psychiatric ward, wherever they would have taken them. But I've got a dog in my car, so I just spoke with them on the corner for five minutes. And this person was using a lot of binary language. Always, and nevers, and projections. 'These people are always messing with me and they never give me a chance.'" And they were getting really inflamed. Just take out conflict language, take out conflict and put in inflammatory. Inflammation language. Okay? Mark England: And the police officer listened, very important. And then said, "Are they always doing that?" And the person goes, "Well, no not always." "Okay. So sometimes?" Procabulary 101. Person took a breath. The idea is getting socialized in them. Ping pongs around. Yeah. Okay, cool. Better story. "Yeah. They're sometimes doing that, and then sometimes life is actually okay." Take out the actually. "Life is okay." "Whose life?" "My life. Okay, my life is okay sometimes." That happened in two minutes, which is a very different story than always, and never, and blame throwing, and just locked up. So much so they couldn't breathe. Hence, they were having a panic attack. Hence, they called the cops. Mark England: Panic attacks, those are story issues. Those are language issues. Most of the time. Again, I'm no doctor. So I get feedback from that and I'm like wow, that is just magic. The definition of magic is the ability to apparently alter the course of events using supernatural forces. It's not the ability to do it. It's the apparent ability to do it. And that guy helped this person. They were going over here, and the person, the reason why he sent the feedback is that the person that they helped. He said, "We rarely ever get positive comments from the field. This person sent me a hand written letter." So I see that and I'm like man, that just gives me so much. Mark England: And then on my side of the street, and I'm learning always. I'll always be learning. How good can I get at telling the story of story? In conversations like this, how good can I get? Don't know. Want to find out. Take out want to, put in will. Will find out. That's why I have a 50 year goal. It's written down. I have a 50 year goal. I give my last presentation, it's in March, 2057. I would've been in the game 50 years. Mark England: So I have feelings. I want to know what it feels like to get on stage with 50,000 people. I'm currently at 500 ish presentations. I've spoken in front of 1,800 people and really enjoyed it. What do I have to do to myself? What kind of person do I have to become? What kind of things do I have to let go of and bad habits do I have to curtail, and sacrifices do I have to make time to create the thing over time that gets me on stage in front of 50,000 people and I feel comfortable there? I want to know what that feels like. Kyle Gray: I love that we got the definition of magic in there too. We've got to close the loop on that. I was wondering about that when you mentioned it earlier. Mark England: Yes. Yes. It's called core language upgrade. It's our foundational training. It's an online training, 21 days. 10 minutes a day. Video, little quick quiz, and some questions. We built it for busy people, because we found the only people that want to develop storytelling skills and use their words in more effective, productive, constructive ways are people that are already doing a lot of other stuff. It's like the old saying, you want something done, ask a busy person. Kyle Gray: I've got to say I've gone through that course too. And it's so incredible how simple it makes and clear it makes all of these different words and languages. And it's very easy to start noticing and transforming that. We'll definitely have a link to that in the show notes for anybody listening in. Mark, thank you so much for joining us. Can we get a round of applause? Mark England: Thank you.
