Why is it so hard to get intelligent conversation?

I wonder the same every day.

Depends what you consider intelligent :-)

most people only like to talk about how there better than other people

Depends on what your definition of "is" is ..

In this place? come on now.

Gotta have intelligent people for an intelligent comversation. And we all know that smart captives tend to rebel

Meanie

talk about their narcissistic facebook lives. they can go on for hours

erm.... ???

It's more fun to troll.

The alienation of labor

Cos most people are happy to sit in front of the TV watching BS when they're not out trying to earn enough to keep a roof over their heads. Just as TPTB want it

they're***

If go under the assumption that only intelligent people can have intelligent conversations then going by numbers there's not that many people to talk to.

You are asking too much, go back to bed.

Starting to think it is asking to much. Just wanted to have a good conversation about liked interested. I'm so tried of hearing stupid Sh*t and crazy rants.

Pick a topic of your choice, and let's see what happens.

In what manner

The more I learn, the less I realise I know.

Ah, but one can be highly intelligent having little knowledge and downright stupid having lots of knowledge.

....DID I GO OVER YOUR HEAD OP ????

hi, how are you?
good.,
Nice to meet you.
Hope you had a good holiday.
Bye, see you tomorrow,.

^^^ that was just 1 person talking.. I mean parroting

90+% of folks don't want to appear "Stupid" so they don't tread into topics other than Sports or Celeb gossip, they feel "safe" with those.

5% ARE stupid
2.5% think they "Know It All"
2.5% are us...

MEME VIRUSES

Fucking cuss words that is fucking related to the fucking lizard part of the brain and tries to fucking sabotage the neo cortex
by always fucking with the linguistic parts, because shit

There is nothing intelligent about conversation, it's just a bunch of sloppy vocal sounds.

I'd rather be street wise. Intelligence is reactive but I'm productive :-) If we we're meant to know all then we'd be born with that knowledge or have a seemingly natural aptitude for it. I've a friend who makes a fortune in archetecture but in real life, is as thick as two planks.

Intelligence is subjective :-)

Sorry If I offend anyone, That was not my intention. I was speaking in general and it was not directed anything. I was just stating my opinion about my current state of life.

1. Nano-Attention Span
2. I'm right and no one can change my mind mentality
3. No moral structure - there is no right or wrong - only right and left.
3a. No actual truth to discover - everyone creates their own truth.
4. No one questions anything - only mindless repeating of what someone else says that makes them feel good on the surface.
5. Entertainment is everything.
6. The Truth Hurts.
7. Everyone is a comedian.

Good question though :-)

No, many are intelligent. But most waste their intelligence on ego, distraction, and convention.
