One is a ballerina. The other one may be a poet or a philosopher or a scientist. Whom would you like them to be? What kinds of conversations would deilght you? Thank you for your reply O! :)
Depends on the size of the room and what entertainment is available. And if they are loud chewers. For some reason, that makes me angry. (I think there's a term for that, but can't remember.)
It's an average size room whatever that might mean. No entertainment. No doors. No windows. You are in HE** so there is no need to chew. No one is eating or chewing gum. They are your entire world for eternity. What would you like them to be interested in talking about Walt? What topics could you enjoy forever? Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thee and thine! :)
If it was Hell ... they would be a loud chewer. lol
Without external entertainment, it wouldn't matter what topic we talk about. No topic is going to be pleasant to discuss, for eternity. After a while, you wouldn't even need to talk to the other person because you would know exactly what they would say.
But it wouldn't be limited to ONE topic Walt. How many bajillion things exist about which we can give our opinions? There is so little time compared to the vastness of what is or might be or has been or could be. Do you really think you'd run out of things to talk about? Not me. At least I doubt it seriously. I haven't run out of stuff to talk about on internet social sites and I've been at this since 2005 starting at Answerbag and moving here in 2015 when the bag folded without notice. I don't have time to ask all the questions that keep occurring to me. I can't be the only homo sap in the world like that. Have you run out of questions you'd like to have answered? I can't imagine a time when that would happen to me. Thank you for your reply! :)
Your example is not comparable, because you have external entertainment to talk about. Suppose you were put in that room in 2005. You would have no more material to talk about now, then you did originally. For example, you would not be able to talk about the presidencies of Obama, Trump, or Biden. You would not know of the iPhone (2007), or the Boston Marathon Bombing (2013), or the Supreme Court ruling on "same sex marriage" (2015).
Without external entertainment, any topic discussed would turn into "beating a dead horse" within a couple years.
So you are saying that the THOUSANDS OF YEARS prior to 2005 would be exhausted questionwise? Please rethink what you're saying. Of course I wouldn't talk about what hasn't been experienced yet. But is everything else CHOPPED LIVER? I know you can do better than this Walt. You do it all the time. This time you are being roadblocked and I can't figure out why. Okay. I'll stifle it now to see what you come up with next?

How much do you know of the thousands of years, prior to your life? For example, I guess we could discuss the tactics of the Battle of Waterloo if one of us knew enough to teach the other. But the average person doesn't know much history, so that limits them to what happened during their lifetime. Even as much as I love learning history and trivia, I doubt I have enough understanding to teach any (without external resources).
Even if both people knew everything of the past ... there is far less of the past than there is of eternity. So they would eventually run out of things to discuss.
By now you should know I go off up and away in my world of WHAT IF. How often do we discuss FACTS at any length? Usually you are the one doing the talking educating me about things Walt. The WHAT IF questions are never based on facts because what I WHAT IF doesn't exist ...yet. So I see no problemo for me continuing to be full of WHAT IF. Sure I do takeoffs on news of the day as a springboard to something else. Now could I just dry up and go silent? I suppose anything is possible. That however is the least likely possible. Did I rebut you or not touch it? :)
Bang my head against the wall until it's sore. Use the saw to cut one of the strangers in half. Put him/her back together - two halves make one whole. Then crawl through the hole to freedom.
Saw? There is none R. I know your reply is fanciful and takes some liberties. But what would you like the other two to be like, interested in that would keep you engaged forever? What topics could do that? Thank you for your reply. I'd like two people who WHAT IF for starters. I'd like them to be LOGICAL and SANE and cheerful and charming. I don't know if that's what I'd get but it's what I would like. What would you like?
I'm ENTP (The Debater), genially argumentative - so I'd like at least one of them to have a few opposing views and be able to discuss them logically. Both must have a sense of humour, and be able to take as well as they dish out verbally.
Sounds very good to me too. SANE and LOGICAL a must though...correct? And interested in coming to conclusions about things not constantly argumentative FOR ITS OWN SAKE which is boring as he**! Isn't it? Thank you for your reply R! :)
