"We deliberately chose to go by nicknames for the conversation.
Without any visuals, all we had were our voices and stories to craft our identities.
So there we sat, 5 blindfolded strangers with 2 full hours to spend with each other...
We were curious. What would a conversation be like without any visual cues? What would it be like if you could get to know someone solely by the content of their thoughts — and nothing else?
Wonderful...
I realized that the age old idea of the “awkward silence” is really a visual problem rather than an auditory one. It’s not the actual silence that’s awkward. It’s seeing another person in silence."
