many times we want to go deeper with that conversation beyond just the who what when where why that's just the information let's go into what it means for us as human beings right exactly right so if it starts with talking about the news talking about politics then you could use that conversation to get deeper and if it hasn't you could ask you could say something like can you share with me an event in your country's history where people fought for Liberty

So that would be interesting if it's not currently in, you know, current events, then this is where you could have someone, give someone the chance to share something interesting about their country's history.

And people are going to want to talk about it, right?

Especially if it's surprising.

If they're feeling like they're seeing injustice, then they're going to want to talk about it.

And it's always interesting to phrase it a little bit like a would you rather almost.

Like, for example, you could say, is liberty or security more important to you?

Or which do you think is more important?

That's just an interesting conversation.

Yes.

And this is really interesting.

If someone asks you a would you rather or this or that, don't say both.

Because obviously, we always all want to say both, right?

That's so boring.

It is.

The reason it makes an interesting conversation is if you have to choose which is more important.

Yeah.

So we're going to do a role play here where Lindsay and I are friends and I'm going to ask one of these, use one of these conversation starters to get a little deeper with my friend.

Ready?

Okay.
