Communication can be an entertaining exchange of interesting stories and personal experiences, or a mindless spread of fake ideologies, false facts, and opinions. This difference often determines the topics you can discuss with people. There are many subjects we’ve been brainwashed or manipulated about, and when we talk about them, it can quickly turn into arguments or even fights.

I often discuss conspiracies, philosophy, health, physics, astronomy, business, emotions, psychology, and many other deep topics with all kinds of people, even with women I like. In my case, it doesn’t hinder intimacy.

To have these conversations successfully, you need to truly understand the topics and be a good storyteller — speaking in an engaging, emotional way, not just throwing out dry, inconsistent facts.
