What might have happened had you waited until you were off the phone?
- komali2 8y agoHe might have forgotten to check, or ask. This reminds me of the last interaction I had on #lesswrong - I openly speculated about the UI of a system I didn't have access to, because I wanted to chat about it with people I generally respected. But some of those people just weren't in a good mood and lambasted me for not simply "googling it for the answer." Never mind that the answer isn't easily found, and never mind that that completely invalidates my whole reason for interpersonal interaction anyway...
- lainga 8y agoInterpersonal interaction on #lesswrong is just wasted time that you could have spent praising the coming machine-god so it won't kill you.
- kchr 8y agoI can relate. Seems that people today has no time for the social part of conversation and the creative effects of speculation. I often stop my friends when they reach for their smartphones in an argument or discussion, so that we can converse without proving facts.
