Semi-regular repost of the Church of Interruption: https://sambleckley.com/writing/church-of-interruption.html … I basically think anyone who hasn't read this is probably operating on a wrong model of how conversations work, so if you haven't read it I recommend it!

(I don't think the model described is perfect by any means, but I think most people have a broken implicit model of conversations that assume everyone is doing the same thing, so having the two mode model is helpful as a better approximation)

Just to be clear: I am not saying that you should be speaking in one of these modes - church of interruption can work very well in some contexts, but it works badly in most - I'm saying that understanding the distinction between conversation styles is important.

2 x 2 matrices are really helpful for thinking about conversation. And that essay was lovely.
