One of the precious oddities of life: meeting someone, having just one (often apparently innocuous-at-the-time) conversation with them, and still thinking regularly about that conversation years or decades later. Like a comet passing through your life.
Brought to mind by @nayafia's essay about technical conversations (https://nadiaeghbal.com/technical-conversations … ). I had breakfast in 2008 with Harry Collins, a sociologist who coined the related notion of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactional_expertise …. I probably think about that conversation every few weeks.
There are dozens - probably hundreds - of similarly impactful conversations in my past. Serendipity is such an important part of life.
I love telling people later on that a comment of theirs stuck with me. They very rarely remember saying it
"Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on each flight? They're single-serving friends."
When the subject/essence of the conversation falls into place, I, unintentionally, start to recall it less. I sometimes find myself reciting it to prevent it fade away, value its familiarity akin to a habit
Sounds like the brief converstion I had with @aantonop at @laBITconf in 2015; it resonates in my head since then!
