Most "deep talk" is not deep at all, and people who love making "deep talk" are mostly just pretentious, amirite?

You're taking this too deep

by Plastic-Honey 1 year ago

Yeah deep talk to me is like you're having a beer, and somebody goes "my wife aborted my twins last Christmas Eve and left me for a college girl; I'm thinking of killing myself." Not some weird conversation about nihilism lol

Deep talks don't have to be super personal though or involve trauma dumping. It can just be talking about life in general — if there's a bigger meaning, do we have purpose, what we think happens after death, etc.

Yea you're who op is talking about

by Irolfson 1 year ago

That's because I listed the most basic and common deep conversations that people can have lol. I'd still rather talk about these than tell strangers I had an abortion any day

Wdym bigger meaning. Meaning of what

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Life, words, values, love, beauty, evil, humanity, afterlife, knowledge, politics, etc

by Anonymous 1 year ago

No i mean like... You obviously aren't talking about defining what those words are referring to. Because if you can use a word meaningfully, you can define it

by Anonymous 1 year ago

You are though. Abstract concepts like love, beauty, evil, values are all very vaguely defined and through discussions you can more narrowly define the concept. The dictionary definition is necessary to start the discussion but not sufficient as an encompassing definition.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Oh, so it's just about defining it more narrowly? That is.. boring. Alright

by Anonymous 1 year ago

yeah discussing meaning is by definition discussing what the concepts mean, i.e. the definition :D Like treating your bud to a beer who is going through a breakup and discussing what love means to them now

Deep talk exists and is lovely, but most people who use the word don't understand what makes it good or how you get there. You can't just sit down and be like "let's have deep talk"

At the end of the day I feel it all depends on the level of enjoyment/comfort/or mindfulness that the people involved in the conversation get from it. I guess I'm really equating the words deep with meaningful. If I tell you that water is wet, therefore being human is a part of being human. Sure it sounds disjointed or vague (probably dumb), but nonetheless profound to me. It could make you laugh, it could make you think I'm silly, it could even make you just think what that might mean to you. Perhaps all three. As long as it's meaningful then I find it to be deep. I don't have to bring up a good understanding of Kant, Hume, or singer. People are allowed to play with and discuss their own ideas with each other.

Not really. It depends who you talk with. Studying for my PhD, living in a dorm and I feel a bit old for most talks (24), but I actually found lots of "hidden gems" there. Yeah, there are people talking out of their asses, but there are some interesting people there too. For example, met 2 philosophy PhD students in the last week randomly and I found out that about them only after an hour or so of talking. Yes, this is not a good example, but I don't mind talking with someone who may say something wrong as long as they don't mind correcting themselves if they are wrong.

Philosophy is a form of entertainment and it's part sucking each other off and part sucking yourself off.

Ok what do you consider "real" deep talk

"popcultural philosophical issues" is the dumbest thing I will probably hear today, thank you OP

by Devan63 1 year ago

I feel this in my soul. I'll say something so shallow I can't even dip my finger in it and people will be like, thats so deep, and It just makes me die a little inside

by Anonymous 1 year ago

The people who hate small talk are the most insufferable and annoying people. They cannot connect on a basic human level, and in doing so fail to display actual intelligence. They're merely regurgitating big words, often put of context. Welcome to my ted talk

by SmokePuzzleheaded 1 year ago

It depends. I have had some genuine deep conversations that made me think but for certain things I agree. For whatever reason a lot of people think talking about whether aliens exist is considered deep. It isn't

by Anonymous 1 year ago

You're right about most people, but there is a minority that is genuinely interesting. Go find them. Not everyone is equipped to be interesting.

If an adult says anything to me about liking deep conversations I assume they haven't mentally matured out of high school yet.
