I've been reading Influence still and a thought about something.

Could gamifying the process of a conversation by getting people to write down their answers to questions be a useful tool for communicating?

According to the book, when people write down answers it triggers wiring for them to remain consistent with something they have put in writin.
Therefore, you could trigger that commitment phenomenon to concepts and ideas, if the questions are calibrated well, and can get individuals to stand by a principle they believe in for instance over a belief they hold.

Example: first question is one of principle where someone defines a principle further for themselves. The second question is calibrated to the first question, but asks a question that is more opinionated or is about a belief (that could be argued).

I am still playing around with this idea but I would like others opinions and ideas on this.

MindMaps

Attempting to organize the show's I am able to tune into and cite the sources that are mentioned in the videos on multiple topics and then add additional details where relevant and i find them.
Mind Maps, just a few. I had the idea to create one on climate change after the Maui disaster and show with with the wonderful badass Jessica Rose (she is just such a pleasant human being I'd love to meet her one day). That is not ready to share yet. These two have developed enough to let some eyes on them. Certainly not finished.

‘Now or Never’: The Immediate Origins of Putin’s Preventative War on Ukraine Geoffrey Roberts1

Journal of Military and Strategic Studies is down for some reason (domain not repurchased) and this important essay appears to be missing. Was finally able to find it on the wayback machine but I attached the PDF to simplify matters.
