Hippocratic Samurai

A New Way to Live Together What if the future of family living isn't about moving farther apart... but building closer together? Imagine a piece of land where everyone has their own home, their own space, and their own privacy -yet parents, siblings, kids, and loved ones are only a short walk away. No long drives for Sunday dinners. No worrying about aging parents living alone. No strangers raising your children while family lives miles away. This kind of family compound keeps not only memories close, but also wealth, land, and opportunities within the family. Shared gardens, shared meals, shared support... and a lifestyle built on connection instead of distance.

Conor Neill: "18 years of school trained you to ruin conversations" "You finish your pitch and the customer says, 'Your product is too expensive!' You arrive home a few minutes late, your partner says, 'You are always late.' There's a dirty plate left on the table 'You never wash the dishes.' What do you say in this moment?" Neill explains the problem: "Most of you, me included, went through 14 years of school where we were taught one way to respond to questions. Teacher asks, 'How do you spell cats?' Student: 'C-A-T.' Teacher asks, 'What is osmosis?' Student explains in detail. For 14 years, you've been taught to give answers to questions. If you went to university, you probably had another 3 or 4 years of giving answers to questions." Here's what that does to you: "In real life in persuasion, in getting to what the other person is really about, what their needs really are, the worst thing you can do is give an answer to a question." He gives examples: "If someone says, 'Your product is too expensive,' and you say, 'No it's not! It's only €1,000'; you've lost every chance to understand what else is behind their reasoning. If you get home and your partner says, 'You're always late!' and you say, 'No, no, no, Tuesday I was definitely here on time', you're gonna have a crap weekend." Neill explains why this happens: "When your partner says, 'You're always late,' emotion goes up. And what happens? The thinking part disconnects. The way to make someone stupider is to insult them, object to them, tell them they are wrong. When you're asked a question, there's an emotional reaction, and the higher emotion goes, the lower thinking goes." He continues: "If you don't practice this response, you're not going to be able to do it in the moment. If you don't practice repeatedly how you'll respond to 'You're always late,' 'You never wash the dishes,' 'Your product is too expensive,' 'Your competitor is better,' 'You failed us 3 years ago,' 'I don't trust your company', you're not going to be able to do it in the heat of the moment." Here's what to do instead: "When you are asked a question or given an objection, I want you to say: 'I understand.' And repeat in your words what they're saying. Then give an open question back." He demonstrates: "'Your product is too expensive!' → 'I understand that money is an important factor for you. What other criteria will be used in making this decision?'" Neill calls this "Conversation Aikido": "Martial arts are about using the energy and force of the opponent against them. In Judo, if someone punches you, you pull their arm and allow the energy to keep flowing. In Aikido, the concept is you go toward the punch. You go toward the energy. If someone punches you, if someone asks you a question, if someone objects, the Aikido method is to go toward them and see the world from their view." He explains how to practice: "'You're always late!' → 'I understand you feel frustrated.' 'I understand you feel let down.' You'll have to work on this quite a few times over the next 10 years to find the set of words that captures what the other person feels, what's behind it. Then ask: 'What can we do now?' 'What happened during the day?' 'What would you like to talk about?'" Neill shares what happens when you don't do this: "When a client says 'You're too expensive' and you say 'No, we're not!' you learn nothing about who else they're considering, what other criteria are important, what process they've gone through, who else is involved in the decision." He closes with a guarantee: "By giving the answer, we shut down the possibility of hearing what's really going on in the other person's mind. But if you say 'I understand,' accept the energy coming from the other person, and give back an open question, I guarantee that if you do it 4 times, the answer to your 4th open question begins to be the real underlying need, issue, or interest of the person you're listening to."

Homie be rocking some wisdom!

@Mr_Khan23 @0xSunflowerLand That is incredible. There are stories of snow that deep here in Nebraska but I have never seen anything over a few inches. Snow can be fun if you are not responsible for clearing it up.

@KuyaDigi @0xSunflowerLand Yes. I don't remember the last time there was this much snow in Moscow and the Moscow region. There are a lot of fakes on YouTube where the snow is up to the roofs of buildings (five stories high). The maximum height above a car is +1 meter (in the regions).

Winter season on the farm. @0xSunflowerLand

If you think President Trump is not dead serious when he says, “we have the greatest military on earth,” just listen to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan “Raizin” Caine explain in detail how the military captured Maduro in the dark of night. Unbelievably badass 🇺🇸

He’s out here living his best life.

@AC506 @0xSunflowerLand Noice!

@0xSunflowerLand @KuyaDigi big win tonight we eat pizza:

@bumpkinbuilder What a weird game to be doing so well.

The Rarecrows Minigame has hit 42k active players 🚀 Infrastructure costs are around $200 a day....the joys of scaling 😅 We weren't prepared for this much growth already. Time to do some optimisations 🤓

@noface980 @sezo141 @0xSunflowerLand For street cred

@sezo141 @0xSunflowerLand ummm, does daily streak matter?

Unfortunately, not good news today, I was travelling and did all the chores and digging on my phone, today I got the news that aparently I didn't open my daily chest.. 568 streak lost, chapter race lost (I had max tickets).. isn't it a little too punishing @0xSunflowerLand? 🫤😩

@0xSunflowerLand Jurassic Park! Dinosaurs would be awesome!

The team are exploring some themes for our upcoming 13th Chapter... 📚 What would you like to see in Sunflower Land? 🤔

@Naofumininety @0xSunflowerLand wow. This is wild to see. Great for the ecosystem.

The round 1 of bidding the Squirrel Onesie is insane @0xSunflowerLand

@ChuckFresco Cagy’s MO is to create drama so there is a buzz. People talking about a project is invaluable. He is genuinely a genius.

Seeing all the drama over a Kitty game…alright I am going to bed ✌️
