Is thinking competitive?
If it is then maybe the only time that conversation is not competitive is when we are not thinking while conversing or conversation by script or by rote.
I wonder if it is possible to find the worlds most normal conversation.
I propose an experiment where we tally up the most common questions asked when we first meet someone. The goal being to find the most normal (and predictably boring)
conversation. ie.
- Q. How are you?
- A. Fine thanks
- Reply. Awesome!
- A. Fine thanks
- Where do you live/where from
- What do you do
- Are you married
- etc etc
