Frequently I lust for a good conversation. A good discussion, an argument, a tussle of the minds. Something that expands my own knowledge, or stretches my understanding of a given topic to include new information. Why is it that the art of good conversation seems to be dying?
We have access to such large amounts of information via the media, web and social networking yet we are hardly seem to engage others in a meaningful and challenging way anymore! We are reduced to the 140 characters of twitter... yet I must admit, it takes less than those 140 characters to get my mind rolling when a twitter update comes in from Canada Politics or other cool twitterers (not twits?) on my blackberry.
Yet alas, I lack the time and companions to engage in a good debate. A good tussle of the minds. But perhaps the words of Mr. Adler will prompt you to pursue the fine art and get others going... even if your efforts get 'em riled!!
