Looking forward to the book. The salient aspect for me is Penny's manner. In particular, the insouciant way that he talks about his actions. (Compressing Jordan Neely's neck - for six minutes - continuing even while someone pleads with him to stop because he was killing Jordan Neely, and continuing even after Jordan had stopped moving.)
The cause of death ruled as compression of the neck. Penny, describing it: "He's still, like, squirming around, and still, you know, going crazy."
Perhaps Jordan Neely was like, you know, afraid for his life, since he was being choked to death, and that's why we was still, like, squirming around.
Powerful stuff dear Anand. Many thanks for doing this deep dive series - both to you💞 and to Emma Goldberg💞 The unpacking of assumptions that people make and the incomplete/faulty conclusions they draw that lead to all kinds of disastrous actions, has been my lifetime’s work - one-one-one and in groups. Showing people how to uncover their observations behind their evaluations, judgments, and conclusions, is endlessly fascinating to me. At all levels! And in all the situations I’ve found myself in, especially in my 30 year computer systems engineering work. And also into the last 20 years of “simply” being in communities and in relationship with people, including friends and family. Anyway I dug up a couple of things to share which I trust some will find interesting. Enjoy! with love, Christina 🌺
Here’s a 10 minute podcast episode on the topic of the snap judgments we make and act on … all the time! It’s what we do. We have to. But can we become more aware of the choices in our conclusions? Before we act? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bYTO0MPfjgU

And here’s a flowchart (I'm an engineer🤓) I first created in 1998 - https://www.cocreatingclarity.com/pdf/LivingEverydayChoices.pdf
So interesting. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
As a person I was fascinated by this. As a retired prosecutor, I was riveted by it!
I’m hooked! Great job, I look forward to the next episode.
As always, so thought provoking. So good, Anand. Who, indeed, do we want to be as a people, a country?
