Ha. With my friends, if we have one of these "we don't know" scenarios, and my friend tries to take out their phone to look it up, I tell them to put that goddamned thing away. Knowing is not fun. Reasoning is fun, asking around is fun, guessing is fun, bullshitting is fun. If you don't need to know, don't look it up!

Would you rather get to know someone through many conversations and shared experiences, or by reading a (hypothetical, futuristic) brain scan? And so with the world.
