The next time you have to say something to a friend, how about picking up the phone and using the voice calling function so you can talk? We sometimes forget our phones have that feature. The Court above also said, we learn to talk and we learn to listen. The art of listening is perhaps the biggest casualty of modern social media. We are all in our bubbles. Messaging away. Messaging is an apt term. We are not trying to communicate

You people are so old, right? So there is that element of the generation gap. I feel there's another element of young age, like teenage or even early 20s, is that their, I guess, confusion, their sense of protection, self preservation. They want to communicate, but they also want to protect themselves. And they feel that I can just kind of feel the waters by just texting. That way. It's not direct in person kind of a thing

So thank you for being a co founder on Swell. And I think I need to think about this and resell this. Put this into as well to yours in the open communication swell that I've created. It hasn't had much in the way of Uptake, but I'm hopeful I'm going to save some of my thoughts for the Reese. Well, thanks again. Nice to meet you

Uhoh, I have been a long time medium member. Medium member, a recent person on Slow cast. Wait, I said that on a recent person on Slow, what are people on Slow called? Is that why that came up? And I just had to say, I give you all the claps. I had the opportunity to both listen and read what you wrote at the same time, which is very interesting. And may I commend you for being such an excellent writer with such great ideas
I don't see, I was not able to read it or find it on Medium, so I'm glad that you actually had it here. At least the only thing I see on Medium is a class from somebody called Bjulia. I don't know if that's you let me know or let me know what your handle is on Medium so I can at least read your stuff there as well. Thanks. Bye

I'm going to get a little deep. When you walk into a room with knowledge, you see the room in a certain aspect. And if somebody doesn't have that knowledge, they see the room differently. Now, if you can follow me here, and that comes with vocabulary and education. And information and knowledge are three different things. Education is learning information is just gathering facts, thoughts. Knowledge is seeing its vocabulary. It's word

If you're seeking knowledge and all three together, because if you think about it, if you have information and you seek use education as a tool and you have information, all that together will equal out. You know what I mean to be knowledgeable because being knowledgeable is seeing is knowing and being able to have insight to something and also be able to teach it. And also what's important is I always tell people do your research

The voice does communicate the tone of voice communicates in a way that is so vastly different than texting. And I find that texting is easy to misunderstand. Email is the same because you don't get the tone of voice, you don't get the facial expressions to go along with it. And all you're left with is the words. And the other thing is that words have cultural meanings. They have connotation, and each person, depending on their culture, will see a word differently
And I've seen people even with knowledge, sometimes not make their transition to wisdom and use knowledge and kind of what they think they understand to be true in a very dogmatic manner. And I think what wisdom gives us is humility, right. It tells us that even with all the knowledge you might have, there's context, there's judgment that you use and how to apply it, you can be selective about what knowledge you're using in a very dangerous way
If all you are transmitting is just the raw text words and you don't know who the person is, you don't know what tone they are speaking. If you are not able to see them face to face, you're not standing in front of them, or if you don't know where they're coming from, what's the background? All of that is lost

Hello, Eric. Thank you. And I'm glad that you like what I have to say. And remember, knowledge is the seeing it's the awareness and wisdom is the soaking in of the knowledge and how to utilize that knowledge. So the wisdom part is putting the knowledge out there in a productive, positive way. And that's kind of where humility part comes in is we want to be humble because we are humans and humans are flawed
