so, context: some time ago i became annoyed at how much wordy thinky stuff was happening at rationalist parties (even the *naked* parties 😩) and had the idea to throw a "nonverbal party": no spoken or written words, all consent negotiated nonverbally, maybe one verbal safe zone

@QiaochuYuan you gotta host that "no words allowed" party, it'd be fascinating!

anyway i never ended up doing it but some of the tpot-europe crew like the idea so maybe we'll try to make it happen here. would be worth brainstorming some more details, e.g. i'm not sure about music (instrumental only? put out instruments and wait to see if anyone plays?)

i would personally like to allow non-word vocalizations (grunts, squeaks, hums) but it's a little tricky to nail down the boundary between that and words. may just need to trust people to keep to the spirit of the thing

Some friends of mine spent a whole night only saying "the detail of the pattern is movement" and had an incredibly connective time tuned into other things
