We all have to fill in the gaps about what is not said. And even with good friends there is still that great risk that its not right. However maybe its that bit that makes all communication more interesting cos we are filling in not just from what we heard but also from all the other channels we are receiving on.
Keep musing in Manchester!!

I did a psychological experiment for a mate who’s doing her phd recently and I had to try and physically stop my self from, well, lying. It’s funny, when you listen to a good friend talking on a personal matter you fill in parts of their conversation they don’t want to say aloud by default, and hope they do the same for you. A good system??
I think that in fact it isn’t very subconscious at all. The very idea of a subconscious has allowed us to say less than half of what we really mean and rely on others to think about it. When we find out about supposed psychological mechanisms we integrate them into our “full consciousness”. Have a good muse, and thank you for the unexpected beer-swap.
Write gud poemz,
