Shortform #101 Conversation experiment: Tabooing $topics after previously discussed for $time
Do you ever find yourself talking at length, sometimes repetitively about the same topic(s)? Do you notice others around you doing similarly? Experiment with tabooing that topic or topics (with consent of your conversation partner(s), of course) for an evening (or whatever your time interval is) and see what happens!
Spur of the moment tonight, I asked my friend after we finished coworking and were hanging out if they wanted to try the conversation topic taboo experiment. They said yes, and that led to us having a few additional really good conversations tonight in addition to the tabooed topic conversations we had had earlier in the night (those were good too, please note that tabooing a topic doesn’t mean a topic is bad necessarily).
I will be proposing this experiment at Virginia Rationalists’ next meetup (tomorrow!) and see how that goes.
