My Wife And I Have A Little Game We Play Called "Speaking From Ignorance."

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

My absolute favorite thing is the blatant disparities between which ghosts have kept up with modern culture and which ones are entirely clueless. Dawn is active on social media and Charley knows the difference between a micro and macro-aggression but Janet doesn’t know what a cell phone is. They’re perfect to me

Roe lied with his hands.   "This will help." "You’ll be fine." "Just hold on."   He lied to keep their souls inside their bodies long enough for the shelling to stop.   He poured life into shattered vessels with bandages and boyish faith,   but sometimes he stayed too long—   and the light left their eyes while he whispered one more useless truth.

part two of three of a summer exchange gift for a very lovely person <3. this one is much more serious than the previous part, sort of to work as the darker part of webgott and balance out tomorrows gift, which works to find that webgott equilibrium. i really hope you enjoy this all! find part one here, and sourcing is under the cut :)
