Status Updates From How to Speak How to Listen

“There is communication among brute animals in a wide variety of ways, but no conversation. There is even a sense in which any physical thing that sends a signal to another physical thing that receives it and responds to it in some way can be said to be in communication. But the sending and receiving of signals is not conversation, talk, or discussion.”

“The truly great books, I have repeatedly said, are the few books that are over everybody’s head all of the time.”

Learned the ways we speak to each other and communicate with ethos (credibility “cmon it’s me your fave guy, you know I’m honest” ) vs pathos (remember the love , remember the pain )

Really loved the example of Brutus vs mark Anthony’s speech in the Shakespeare depiction of Brutus stabbing Caesar and the comparisons made.
