Lol it’s like so much of communication. We think we’re talking about the same thing and we understand each other because we never define things or state our assumptions. It’s almost like our social wellbeing depends on not defining things

Mine is just a pet theory. Something I’ve been thinking about so this story jumped out at me. I think there’s something to it—obscurity helping us talking to each other but Idk how or to what extent or when... Just entertaining the thought for now.

I'm sure it's true in some cases. Somebody who leans only by looking at Cypriot doors the door concept vs somebody who learns by looking at UK ones, will have different visual representations of door and yet unbeknownst to either (usually) they communicate!

Sorry if I'm boring you, it's very much my phd and postdoc areas so I'm very needy.

-
No bore lol. Not to me! But if anyone wants to get untagged, please let me know! I am keeping you in out of courtesy but I’m not sure if *that* is the polite choice here. Twitter can be confusing!

Nerdy not needy LOL. Although very much needy since we just got kicked off the tube at bloody King's Cross.

-
I thought you meant 'nerdy' and inferred the typo ;) (Reminds me of the earlier multiple interpretations we all had of
@twitemp1 's tweet.) -
Haha yes that was quite a fascinating example as well! I didn’t read nerdy and tried a few possible interpretations of “needy” to make sense of
@o_guest’s tweet lol. -
Brilliant! We're all sense-making machines...

Without the specifics of an interaction I would keep a neutral prior. That is: I can communicate with people neither because of nor facilitated by nor despite us having slightly different understanding.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
