I couldn’t be happier with the group of friends I have!
In my group we are all 23-24, we have three future-engineers, one physicist, one oral hygienist, one future vet (me), one designer, one geologist, one nurse and one doctor! With this diversified group, you can always expect the most diversified talks! Our topics go from technology to health, to economy, to politics, to art, to physics, damn we talk about everything! That’s why I feel so good in that group, I love mind engaging talks!
Last time we gatherer was 2 weeks ago, let me tell you some of the topics we discussed:
We first started talking about the economy, I was explaining to them some investing topics like dividends, taxes, especially about the dividend kings (Dividend kings are companies that have raised their dividend for at least 50 consecutive years).
I talked with the oral hygienist about dental floss, she was explaining to us how to use dental floss the correct way (I didn’t even know there was a wrong way xD), we also talked about how she was dealing with problematic people in her clinic, mostly people with autism, she has a hernia in her lumbar vertebras and trying to hold people with autism to clean their teeth sometimes gets challenging. Since we talked about hernias she asked me for a gym exercise she could do to strengthen her lumbar region, I’m the gym fanatic after all…
We talked about politics, especially the Canadian politics ( I’m not even Canadian :D) I’ve heard they were legalizing marijuana and wanted to talk a little about it since most of them smoke weed, we also talked about Portuguese politics (which I hate and will do a future post about this, I’ve got so much anger inside me about this topic that I can’t even begin to tell you guys about)!
I talked with one of the future engineers in our group, he had just won the hackathon in his college, nicely done! We talked about UBI (Universal Basic Income), for those that don’t know UBI is an economic system where even if you don’t work the government provides you a small amount of money for you to survive, we talked about the studies each of us read about the topic! This future engineer I’m talking about is actually thinking of coming to Steemit, I was finally able to persuade one of them to join the platform! Hurray for me!
The geologist of our group is dating the oral hygienist, he is working in Norway while she is working in Portugal ( and people tell me long distance relations don’t work…), we talked about the oil industry, even though he doesn’t like it’s one of the only ways for a geologist to actually get serious money, we also talked about space exploring, I mentioned he could try to specialize in space geology, he told me he already thought about it.
These are just some of the topics we talked about, we were together for 6 hours that night!
You see the number of engaging conversations we had about all sorts of scientific topics! This is why I love my group of friends, we are all “nerds” and we don’t judge each other, we all listen to one another and try to learn new things, sometimes the arguing heats up, but in the end we are all friends, being surrounded by this type of people makes me glad, it shows that humanity has a bright future!
This is the generation that will lead humanity tomorrow, remember folks, not all of us are rotten apples!
Question of the day: What about you? What sorts of conversations do you have with your group of friends?
