"Is that the new Star Wars ...?""No." "For a moment, I thought you were culturally astute." My inspiration for today's blog. It's the less embarassing example of wishful thinking of the day. My role in the conversation, by the way, was to say, "No." Which brings me back to a high school Semantics class. It's the only class my brother and I have ever taken together. It is also the class that I remember the most from. One concept that we studied was the idea of people hearing/seeing/thinking what they want to. In general, we don't read every letter on a page or catch every visual cue out there- we catch a portion, and fill in the blanks. This can be a problem when reality doesn't match up with your perception. I know this has been the case a lot for me recently- I jump ahead to what I think a person's getting at, and when what they're saying doesn't suppport it, we're both confused. And then there are circumstances like the above quoted one. Maybe I had an ad or something on my screen for Star Wars. Maybe the colors, title or whatever of the page reminded him of it; whatever triggered it, it was not reality. Sorry pal, I guess I'm not 'culturally astute.' I wonder if Star Wars interests him. Maybe I'll ask. |
