I Admire Wit and Intelligence

Ingredients Of Conversation... Lately, I've noticed I haven't had an in-depth conversation for ages. When, I attempt to, it leaves the other person either confused or uninterested. I mean, I'm not talking about documentaries and fossilized topics here. How about the roots of mankind's mindset, what we want to change in the world, poetry, surrealistic art, and of course, some comedy.

Gah, I'm nearly giving up on people. I'm not this Einstein myself. But I just want a little flavour and some deviating subjects to talk about. Anyone else?

Maybe it isn't everybody else, maybe you haven't had an in-depth conversation for ages because of you?

I never said it was everyone else.. The majority, important word, of people that I encounter do not attempt to step outside of their world of the latest trends, what's happening with celebrities... And a lot of other things. But go on, explain yourself.

Ok, the majority of people........ my error. I understand what you are saying, that is probably why in my life I have accumlated only a handful of close friends. Before my Dad died, if I ever wanted any kind of indepth conversation about interesting things, I would go to him. We could talk for hours. These conversations were a fix for me. A fix that dampened my craving for thinking outside of the box, until the next time. Without it, I would have given up on people a long time ago. Worked for me when I eventually realised that the "majority" of people didn't think like me, or is it the other way round, I don't think like the "majority" of people?

How scary, because that is exactly how it is for me... except my father is still alive. (Sorry for your loss) and he is truly the only one I can relate to. We can talk for hours and hours at a time... and he told me exactly what you said. "The majority of ppeople just do not think like us."

And no doubt the beginning of another in-depth conversation.
