Know Everything!
I get in trouble for saying that because I deliberately say it in a jerk manner. KNOW EVERYTHING. When someone says “I didn’t know the movie my partner was mentioning” I’ll sometimes say “Well, you don’t HAVE to know it but it would be easier if you knew it.”
And then people are like “Why do I have to like Star Wars?”
And I say “Who said anything about Star Wars?”
“All these improv nerd boys love Star Wars and can’t stop mentioning it. I hate that HAVE to know it.”
I know. It’s annoying.
I don’t understand how there could be any disagreement to Will’s thesis here. Why wouldn’t you want to know as much stuff as possible? Not just as a person* but as a human? Knowledge is power. Education is freedom. Everyone knows that. The more you know, the easier life is and the better you can be at living it no matter who you are or what demographic you fit into.
*Edited to note that I meant to say improviser not person….
