I am looking to add new friends.
(I am looking to make new friends?)
Please suggest and connect me with people you think I’d love to have a drink with over a discussion about politics, philosophy, humanism, logic, belief, parenting, education, writing, music, art, media, sport, technology, entrepreneurship, history and so on (in no particular order). And who’d love to have that drink (and conversation) too.
We don’t need to agree on everything. In fact, would love people with diverse viewpoints, of course, differing over subjective matters and in nuance, not objective truths (and no, I shall not fall for the schoolboyish debating line of ‘define objective truth’).
Anyhoo, if you have friends who you think may like me and I may like them, and who are engaging and active on social media (this one’s important, since I regularly unfriend/unfollow those I have not interacted with), please suggest us to each other.
P.S: Ideally someone who has a profile picture (of themselves, and not a flag, whether national or religious, or worse, a celebrity), an ‘About’ that actually gives an idea of what that person is about, some common friends, and a wall that has posts written in comprehensible English about interesting subjects and not just quotes (whether from Richard Bach, Rumi, or the Quran) and ‘HBD’ messages. In short: people you think I can get along with. Come on, Internet. Do your thing.
![Mr Baba: 'Would you like to take off the backpack now that you've been downstairs for like 30 minutes?'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'I like it like this. You should try it. It's very comfortable.'
Mr Baba: [Pulling on his backpack] 'Hmmm, you're right. That's rather snug.'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'Twinning! Yay!'

![Kym: 'Mr Baba, can I tell you something wierd? You can actually get tired from doing nothing!!'
Me: 'It is called boredom.'
Kym: 'Noooo. I mean, like physically tired.'
Me: 'One can get tired and sleepy due to boredom. I remember reading about it somewhere. Let's find out.'
[Some Googling later]
Me: 'It says here that "A new paper published in the journal Nature Communications finds that a part of the brain that is associated with motivation and pleasure - the nucleus accumbens - also can produce sleep. The new findings may explain why we have the tendency to fall asleep in the absence of motivating stimuli, i.e., when bored." Isnt it interesting?'
Kym: 'I already knew that. Why do you need to research things we already know?'
Me: [Finding a subject worth talking about now]: ' Ah well, that's what we'll talk of tomorrow on your morning run. It's very interesting the way science is done and our understanding of the universe is expanded.'
Kym: 'Can we talk of unicorns instead?'
Me: 'Sure. How do you know they exist? That's an interesting question too that you can use the scientific method to answer.'
Kym: 'Do they have to exist for us to talk about them? We can just pretend they do for an hour and have fun.'
Me: [Laughing] 'Yes, sure. We can do that too.'
