> consensus around basic matters
But the thing is Joe (and others) will have the conversations you’re describing- it’s not forgotten. Part of having a good conversation is being comfortable with being wrong. He’s explicit about being a joke comedian sports commentator, and can sympathetically talk with anyone. Conversations with ground rules of truth are those that tend to be dry and pre-processed. The listener can think too and figure out what makes sense. Part of what makes gonzo fun, too.
- Aerroon 5y ago>Conversations with ground rules of truth are those that tend to be dry and pre-processed. Focusing too much on truth turns your conversations into legalese. People will be more focused on not being wrong than communicating useful information and ideas. Conversation happens in half-truths. You can't expect anyone to know all the ins and outs of everything they discuss - even scientists in their field of expertise. These half-truths are usually unintentional. The media has the problem of half-truths while seeming credible. In the modern media a news reporter reports on a protest and describes it as "mostly peaceful" while in the background you can see buildings on fire. This is an intentional half-truth, but it's branded with the media organization's credibility.
