“The fact is that very few of us know what words mean; fewer still take the trouble to enquire. We calmly, we carelessly assume that our minds are identical with that of the writer, at least on that point; and then we wonder that there should be misunderstandings! The fact is (again!) that usually we don’t really want to know; it is so very much easier to drift down the river of discourse, ‘lazily, lazily, drowsily, drowsily, In the noonday sun.'” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/05/14/the-fact-is-that-very-few-of-us-know-what-words-mean-fewer-still-take-the-trouble-to-enquire-we-calmly-we-carelessly-assume-that-our-minds-are-identical-with-that-of-the-writer-at-least-on-that/ #aleisterCrowley #assume #book #calmly #carelessly #discourse #donTReallyWant #downTheRiver #drift #drowsily #enquire #fact #fewerStill #identicalWithThat #know #lazily #magickWithoutTears #misunderstandings #noondaySun #ourMinds #quote #soVeryMuchEasier #takeTheTrouble #toKnow #veryFewOfUs #whatWordsMean #wonder #writer -

While I do overall tend to prefer when people agree with me than when they do not, what is even more important is: is it clear to me that they understand what I am saying, and do I understand what they are saying? Misunderstandings can be more frustrating than simple disagreement.

And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
[Und ich habe, mein Lieber, wieder bei diesem kleinen Geschäft gefunden, dass Missverständnisse und Trägheit vielleicht mehr Irrungen in der Welt machen als List und Bosheit. Wenigstens sind die beiden letzteren gewiss seltener.]Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, statesman, scientist

In a remote or hybrid workplace, misunderstandings multiply. Misconfigured settings, unclear policies, and tech errors can all create moments of frustration. A simple apology from IT or leadership when a rollout goes wrong can de-escalate anger and restore goodwill. Without it, resentment...

📚🎉 The #OA book '#Misunderstandings: False Beliefs in #Communication' by Georg Weizsäcker is NOW AVAILABLE!
Dive into the world of #conversations, #beliefs, successful #communication, and #misunderstandings!
What do we expect when we say something to someone, and what do they expect when they hear it? When is a conversation successful?
The book considers a wide set of two-person #conversations, and a bit of #gametheory, to show how conversational statements and their interpretations are governed by #beliefs.
Thinking about #beliefs is suitable for #communicationanalysis because beliefs are well-defined and measurable, allowing to differentiate between successful #understandings and their less successful counterparts: #misunderstandings.
The book describes the theoretical framework and empirical measurements of #misunderstandings – written by an #economist, but in simple words and using interdisciplinary concepts.
