I think I'm on the same wavelength with the idea that I don't like having conversations that feel dead, like nothing is really happening from them. You can actually trigger the tone of the conversation by the first question that you ask. Most people like talking about themselves. So if you get them to speak about their emotional response to something that has happened, the conversation immediately starts in a different direction. And obviously, if you don't want to talk to someone, you can just do the opposite and then close the conversation down straight away.
Danny Hatcher is a Youtuber, Blogger, and Author contributing to the conversation around educational science. He hosts a podcast called The Personal Knowledge Management Podcast, where he discusses topics in the field of PKM, like overcoming perfectionism, assessing note quality, extended mind theory, and more. To help him with all his research and creation, he uses Notion for collaborative efforts and Obsidian for personal notetaking.
We talked about how to navigate academic research, the problems with academia, how knowledge is built over time, and the issues in traditional University education. This conversation really made me question the way I teach and learn things. Talking to Danny is profound because he questions you when you say something that conflicts with itself. He made me realize just how much creating a shared definition of certain labels is critical to having a productive conversation. I don't think I will ever come to conversations the same.
