I wouldn’t bank on that one. I know more than a few meditators who take a while to wind back up into talky mode after extended retreat. I call bullshit on fetishising the ‘meditation >> good spoken expression’ thing. I am biased though, because I’ve had speech problems.

No, you're definitely on to something. Using the "=" was a grave mistake, knew it right as I pressed Tweet. I know too many contemplatives that've grown to appreciate the sound of their own voice more as they've deepened their practice.

Which is to say, meditation can also deepen your infatuation with your own narrative, leaving less openness to encounter others. But maybe that's meditation, unskillfully practiced? Or lacking the support of complementary practices

Of course, if it works out that way for some people, that’s great. I vaguely recall hearing
@EricRWeinstein talk about having speech problems after long periods of coding. I wonder if there is some overlap there. Don’t listen to me, I’m opposed to most meditation ‘benefits’
