if it was necessary to be socially content, what can be discussed to cook up better conversations?
My fellow blogger, Elentic Hesiod, has touched on the first half of the question. For me, I am pretty interested in discussing the second half. "What can be discussed to cook up better conversations?". Well, firstly the question 'what' itself, is powerful enough to make oneself think and often the question 'what' triggers the mind to engage in the topic asked and thus, results in reasoning. Now, what does it mean by cook up? Does it mean to make it more interesting? Exciting? Engaging? Different people have different taste and preferences. Not all people will like the same particular topic. Some would prefer one and the rest would prefer other than that one. Perhaps, even though different people have different taste and preferences, will there be universal likings? Some philosophers think that there is a universal reason. So, is there universal like? maybe everybody likes to talk about food? I do not think so. What about life? Are all people interested to talk about life? Hmm.
Now, what does it mean by better? Does it mean one level above bad? Or just an improvement of quality of conversations? The word better can vary from person to person as each person has different mind and thoughts. 'Better' is relative to each person and doesn't it sound ambiguous as well? Better conversations. Questions will keep coming out. How, what, why and so on...
However, looking at the question overall, maybe Kygrykhon means the middle way so that everyone that is in the group will be interested enough and does not feel like wasting time? Is there such middle way? Doesn't it sound like a universal liking? Universal taste and preference? Well, just like what Elentic Hesiod said in the previous title, "A question begets questions".
