habits of intellectual conversation

This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.

these include things like:

  • posing interesting questions for discussion
  • useful generative questions like:
    • what have you been reading lately?
    • what do you think are the most important problems in the field?
    • what work are you excited about?
  • I think I often shut down when things are 'framed wrong' or when conversation turns to a topic I find 'uninteresting'.
