Discussion Conversations in today's world

[Incognito]

I've noticed that these days, conversations are just a mix of sharing stories, giving opinions, and throwing in some jokes. Then based on how the other person responds, you pivot to different topics, one after another. Topics just bounce around, and it feels like there's a lack of real authenticity. Or maybe it's just me noticing this.

I think this is pretty much the formula for conversations in real life, if it doesn’t turn philosophical or truly engaging, it’s often like this 7 out of 10 times.

i think thats how conversations work actually

I noticed that too. It’s a lot better than dry convos though, I’m surprised at how often people carry convos. School started this first week and many times I’ll say random stuff or say dry stuff like “yeah” and the other person will conversate.

I just feel like no one feels that anyone would care about the stuff they say

I used to have a guy in class who would talk nonstop. You could say yeah the whole time, and he wouldn’t mind. He just kept going, thinking you actually cared, and yeah just reinforced that he thought you were listening.

It depends on social hierarchy and the topic. But you are right, most of the time, people don’t really care; they’re just waiting for their turn to talk.

Convos probably mogged in the 1500's and before when Leonardo Da Vinci was alive for example. Convos went further than todays standard

yeah, people were less busy rotting their brains on social media back then
renaissance is critical too for philosophical thought
in general we've mostly regressed to mimicking already said ideas and what incognito said

brutal. Society in coworkers/clleagues and, in some level, family makes that a need due to social contract. But you can be yourself with people who aren't into your political bubble. Best friends are those living awaaaaay
