To me, the demand to be interesting is really the demand to communicate meaning through Storytelling which will be the biggest buffer skill in the current AI shift.
What if you dont realize you are being performative? What if its just a conditioning of social media? A few likes and reposts and you feel worthy of being the go-to person for new restaurant recommendations? It makes you feel validated. Wow, this is something to think about. What a fascinating, introspective, INTERESTING piece. Loved this!
I've been stuck on "I used to think being interested was the input and being interesting was the output. The natural flow of a mind engaging with the world and then sharing what it found." for over 20 minutes now. There's so much here.
I think the first part is true no matter what. Being interested and following that curiosity will inevitably make you interesting to someone else's curiosity.
The sharing part is where it becomes infinitely complex and messy.
Do you just share your raw thoughts filtered through your vocabulary? Do you edit it first to smooth out the rough edges and contradictions that you only notice after letting the thoughts out of your head? Do you also fluff it with marketing and censorship?
So fascinating to think about. Thanks for being interesting and letting us be the ones who are interested in what you choose to share.

Is there a experience without experiencer??
- from who is performing to ask better questions 🥲
