> “the golden rule of conversation” was “to know nothing accurately.”

I've witnessed so many fun conversations killed by someone looking up the facts on their phone.

Being factually correct is probably not the best way to get someone to go home with you.

If one can't converse intelligently when the truth of the subject is known then one has nothing worth saying on that subject.

"listen, will you get on your phone and find that actor's name?"

"Oh of course that's him, brilliant! And he was in that other movie, what was it? yes, that was the one!"

And I've witnessed so many conversations ending up with people believing bullshit, because nobody knew anything accurately and nobody really cared.

Some conversations are held for fun, others for exchange of information. Nothing good comes from the two goals getting mixed up.

My advice is don't hang out with people who believe in bullshit, or look things up on their phones. Hard to find, but worth the effort!
