      somehow i can’t stand the experience of listening to podcasts? i think something feels subtly bad to me about listening to voices w/o seeing accompanying faces

      Perhaps obvious, but some podcasts also have video versions on YouTube. Also I’d love to try something like an aesthetic double crux with you about this sometime if that sounds fun. Maybe asynchronously on Twitter even?

      Can you say any more about what kind of subtle badness? On my end, podcasts and phone calls are both good. Sort of disembodied, but I don’t (currently) have an objection to the diembodiedness.

      (Caveat: This might not be a fruitful direction to take the conversation.) I’ve kinda stopped being interested in cognitive-personality quirks like this. We all have them (e.g., I love podcasts but hate phone calls), but I don’t see what it all adds up to.

      Strikes me like trying to catalogue randomness So I guess I’m especially curious if Divia can articulate why she’s curious here and what she might hope to learn — to see if there’s something I’m missing.

      I’ve had a pretty good run of enjoying this type of digging lately. Sometimes it’s deep, and when it’s not deep sometimes the thing shifts!

      Like, sometimes you can get one or both parties to change how they see/experience things? Or to improve self-understanding? I suspect I’m not that good at digging....

      But you said you were more interested in methods... It’s like double cruxing about anything, I just think of claims like “I like x” as meaning “x is good”?

      Are the two parties supposed to expect their initially divergent judgments to line up at the end? Isn’t there an implicit “for me” after the “x is good”? (At least sometimes.) Which means we aren’t seeking objective/trans-personal truths?

          Right so sometimes both people can actually understand the “for me” part! Like if fruit makes me cold and doesn’t make you cold and that’s why you like it more, that seems like a natural stopping point.

          I think my goal with the exercise is ~having the “for me” and the “for you” parts not be black boxes.
