The Lost Art of Deep Conversations – Why it’s Harder Than Ever to Have Real Talks
When was the last time when you had a genuine, unfiltered and real conversation?
Last Wednesday at the Rebel Speakeasy Twitter Space maybe?
No but seriously though…
Have you noticed how shallow everything is these days?
Gm Gm-s here and there, a few smart looking quotes ripped off from someone else, selfies with filters, winy posts, copy pasta-s… and tons of other shitty content that jumps at your face as soon as you stop scrolling for a few seconds…
People are being “strategic” about how they portray themselves online, who they interact with, what and how they say things… They care more about the algorithm than the connections and people…
As a result we end up being surrounded by those who have hidden agendas, pragmatic goals and monetization dreams… for most of them we are just another number to reach, another person to “attract” to grow…
In that soulless flow, genuine human connections, real stories, and deep conversations get lost. They no longer make sense. Worse, people believe there’s no money in them, so they’re seen as worthless.
And even when people do speak to each other “un-strategically” in most cases they are using filters… the ones similar to those influencers use on Instagram - but this time for opinions, ideas and stories… They are careful, worried not to offend, not to be misunderstood… They are sugar coating the truth, window dressing their shortcomings and being politically correct.
As a result the conversations stay surface-level, never real enough to matter.
We end up living under an overarching narrative of fakeness… Fake flavoured versions of what’s real… because many don’t have the guts to face and accept the reality the way it is.
And here we are - in a world where people don’t have time or desire for deep conversations…
Maybe because materialism is king.
Maybe because people’s minds these days have been conditioned by cheap, bite-sized content.
Maybe because by now most have forgotten what real, raw conversations feel like.
But… not everyone…
There are still some special people who ditch the filters, share unpopular opinions, and are always real no matter what.
That’s why Rebel Speakeasy exists.
To keep the real conversations alive.
To bring back the raw, the honest, the unfiltered.
To remind us what it feels like to connect at a deeper level.
Why deeper?
Because what’s important is usually not what we are showing but rather what we are trying to conceal. Which is why unless we get beyond the facade and dive deeper we won’t find the precious parts of the person hiding inside.
And when we finally do bring the conversations to that level—magic happens. A special intimate connection between human beings, who open up and reveal who they really are…
Getting there is not easy - especially with people you’ve never met before… Not everyone has the desire, time or patience for it…but I personally love every part of the process.
See you next Wednesday?
