I like that you analysed this topic, however after thinking about it I came to conclusions that are not compatible with your approach.
I do not believe you are suggesting any policy in practice that is substantially different from what I’d suggest.
However I want to oppose the “filter” approach, and suggest it is more growth-y to look at this differently.
The idea of using a “filter” on your communication sounds to me like it suggests “dressing up” or softening your statements, which blocks people from transferring their thoughts to other people. Which makes all the people involved lose.
Instead, I suggest to keep conversations healthy to such a degree, that you can say whatever it is you wanted to express. And also to preempt any misunderstanding by saying what you DON’T mean if the topic is sensitive.
But basically I strongly oppose the approach that assumes filtering communication.
It makes more sense to work on preparing ground to enable communication to happen more efficiently and without undue emotion/offense.
I agree. And I want to add that there is a cost trade-off involved: The growthy approach takes even more energy (until you master it) than the dual filter approach—which takes more than the one filter only approach.
