as a teen, i LOVED talking on the internet. You could read clearly everything ppl said, nobody could talk over each other, you could figure out your words before you hit enter.
Real life conversations were so hard and competitive - the loudest, fastest person got the airtime. 1/

For irl conversations, I prefer no-interrupt culture. I like a few seconds left between statements, a slower pace, more awareness of everybody getting equal speaking time.
Unfortunately the *only* place i've found this to be a norm is in the rationalist community.

And this is why I have a hard time with clubhouse. Clubhouse is like an internet chat room with all of the downside and only a few upsides. Sure, you get tone of voice and faster words, but only one person at a time can speak! And you gotta be fast and aggressive! Ugh. 3/

I end up being very quiet and only speaking when spoken to, cause I have no idea how to interact with other people using my vocal chords. It's exhausting having to fight for space, the conversations feel lower quality, and I'm bored *way* more often.

All of this is essentially why traditional "debate" is useless when it comes to finding truth. Ben Shapiro is a good example of this - some think he is good at traditional debate because he's the loudest and fastest, not because his ideas are any good.

Yesterday Eric Weinstein had a conversation hosted by Nicole and Danielle on Clubhouse. They addressed the concern about no handraising allowed: large conversations devolve into interruption.
The conversation between the three of them was superb for it.

In about an hour on @joinClubhouse I’m trying an experiment suggested by my friend @NicoleBehnam who runs @ByndTheIntrview and her co-host @Daniellerobay who will be interviewing me at 7pm PT. Join if you have the app. Hope to see you there!

IRL you get the Sheldon Cooper thing where you've got something to say and no matter how far the conversation derives from the initial point, it's gotta come out or you'll feel bad.
