This is a a typical example of conversations I have with people who are philosphically minded, but haven't yet had exposure to the "GF style" of taking exploration to your very soul. Adam is a science man, similar to Victor in many ways, but still young and open to suggestion.
There probably isn't a ton of info regular GF contributors haven't seen, but perhaps someone may get something useful out of it. I copied and pasted this gmail chat onto Word, made a quick blog and put it in there so people can read it.
We meander around topics like face reading, levels of empathy vs clear thinking, science vs philosophy, value of truth, motivations for truth, etc.

Re: A Conversation
What do you believe were the highlights of the conversation? highlights meaning when things were the most engaging and interesting?
Re: A Conversation
Usually I'm in my head sorting out these issues, but I think sometimes being talkative can bring new things to the surface. I had never verbalized the ideas in the last paragraph in quite that way before, and that new mix of symbols brought a new focus to what my task is.
I also like talking to Adam because he brings me an organized and scientific mindset. I carry a pocket-sized notebook with me. In it I've compiled a lot of thought experiments to conduct, and would like to conduct them as methodically as a scientist in a lab. Or in other words, to actually meditate on and explore all the things I've barely touched upon.
