talkPOPc is a project about encounters

About leaving the swirling motion of the city aside and engaging into meaningful

conversations

But it is more than that...

It is a project about all which lies within conversations

Listening

Thinking

Speaking

The three musketeers of social life

One for all, and all for one...

For there is no thinking without speaking

No speaking without listening

And no listening without thinking

You, me and every single person...

...is a unique world

Pregnant with future...

...and laden with past

And a conversation is the encounter of such worlds...

A world of worlds

Now think about this:

You are in the metro. Someone smiles at you and you know too well how to block your attention:

lower your gaze, play with your fingers and dive into the music of your headphones.

You feel them pass right in front of you

It happens all the time

New York is sometimes a city too loud for us to listen

For us to connect

That‘s why once a month...

Sometimes in a Deli

Sometimes in a park

I —or some other philosopher— has a one-on-one conversation with one of you

...just about anything

And then we upload it to a Podcast

That way…

the city speaks to the city

the city listens to the city

...The city thinks.

You think.

For yourself…

...but not alone
