@aral You big meanie! Not everyone has a profound bond with The Stage. I, for one, will be hiring a robot double to do all my futuretalks. -
@fruitingbodies It is not about that; it’s about favouring authenticity over ‘perfection’ of delivery. Reading an essay is not talk. -
@aral Mm! I'd like to have a talk about this in meatspace.

@aral should conferences only be a platform for people trained in the art of public speaking? Should people learn by doing? -
@aden_76 Conferences can set guidelines and offer training and other help. The best do. -
@aral helpful but also an addition of constraints. Not always realistic to audition everyone. Also training may put off some.
