Conversation

What % communication loss is there between two people in a verbal conversation? Between unclear word choices, differences in the preloaded constructs in each party’s head, and differing emotions and incentives it feels like it averages to north of 20%? Curious what others think.

More straightforwardly now, people's neuroplasticity is more flexible than is understood. At least to my knowledge, I'm unaware of anyone that gets this point quite right. I wasn't simply "trolling" with my Deepak Chopraesque and "The Secret" musings. I'm teaching by doing.

What is really the purpose of conversation? It's to optimize both parties' knowledge sets. What is the limiting factor? Emotions. To trivialize is to distance. To exoticize is to align. Rhetoric is the ultimate art. As with anything, trying and failing suffices for success.

Whatever task you set for yourself, persistence and patience alone will crack its enigma. Modulating your approach until you find the right keys, is the way to decrypt people's values. The world is unstoppable, we can't hold it at bay, the only thing to do is to shape it.
