When we take stock.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the twen­ty-first in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

So, I’ll just pick up ano­ther small ele­ment. If you walk into a store and a mem­ber of staff offers to help you, they don’t need to spe­ci­fy that this help is in order to make a pur­chase. This means that context is impor­tant and can replace a long des­crip­tion that could be avoi­ded. Let’s go much further.

In a pro­fes­sio­nal context, it can be a busi­ness context bet­ween col­leagues, or an aca­de­mic context bet­ween stu­dents, the ver­bal exchanges will main­ly be ali­gned to drive move­ments towards a com­mon tar­get. Of course, even if all roads lead to Rome, not all of them are equal­ly as effec­tive. Let’s sup­pose that I am convin­ced that Method A, the one I have stu­died and prac­ti­sed, is the best, but that my col­league thinks that Method B would be the most appro­priate, we could dis­cuss this at length before rea­li­zing our dif­fe­rences and pos­si­bly losing our main objec­tive in end­less dis­cus­sions about the best route to take. A fee­ling of déjà vu? Let’s see how it looks in the next post.

To be continued…
