On: How to Be Better at Parties

[joshuak]

I am not giving you a prescription for how to be liked. In fact I can assure you that some people will like you and some will not.

I'm saying that though failure is unavoidable, a performance of social correctness is more failure prone then being genuine.

[trukterious → joshuak]

Isn't that assuming that people can't be genuinely unconscious/robotic? Can't we allow them to be so?
