After basic needs are met, conversations among friends are the best technology ever invented by humans because you don’t know what’s coming next.
There’s unexpected reward. There’s emergence. There’s new context. There’s discovery. There’s curiosity. There’s love. There’s sharing.
True human conversation has to be the most valuable thing that we have, assuming that we have a stable biosphere, food, and shelter.
