Info on idea trees

Activity suggestion:

  • watch videos
  • pair up
  • have conversations in pairs using conversation trees like in the videos
  • both of you make your own trees

Don't watch all the videos first. Watch enough to have some ideas about what to try doing. Then do a conversation and try to do a tree. Then watch more videos. Then another conversation and tree. Repeat.

Each time you try to use the ideas, it'll help you learn more from the next video you watch. Because then you'll think about how the stuff in the video applies to what you were just doing and answers some of the questions you had. You'll see how you were doing things differently and be able to think about your reasons, make comparisons, decide if that difference is bad or is OK, etc.

You could also do a conversation with someone who isn't from FI, as long as you try to use a tree in the conversation similar to what I do in the videos.

I like the idea of pairing up. I don't know why but direct conversations work better for me I've found. Maybe it's because both people have a direct responsibility to each other to respond.

Come on people someone reply.

Speaking to groups doesn't work well. It's like in an emergency, if you say "someone call 911" often no one calls. But if you pick a specific person and tell them to call, they probably will.

So I guess you should tag or DM one person at a time. Some good candidates are: dface, internetrules, alan, justin.

Hello 
Im on the second gigahurt video of the playlist. I want to do the activity, but I should start on something easy. That way I can get the method down.

Do we necessarily have to start with a topic?
Elliot, Fallible Ideas
No

Hi. I haven't watched any of the videos. Did you mean that you want the topic to be easier so that you can focus on learning trees first?
