Conflicts Are Not Intellectual. They’re Territorial

Watch yourself the next time you're in a conflict. Notice what's actually happening, not the words or the ideas.

  • Feel the contraction, the spike of heat in your chest — that's the watchdog. You're not debating a topic, you're defending territory.
  • Online arguments, family feuds, and passive aggressive emails — these are all ritual barks in the second circuit language.

Understanding this doesn't mean you stop arguing, it means you stop being hypnotized by the performance. You begin to recognize when your dog is barking at shadows and you can choose, maybe for the first time, not to bite.
