@maxread.info argues that people have always preferred kitsch to "good" art: kitsch is accessible, obvious (dental office art, HomeGoods live/laugh/love art), and "good art" is full of "ambiguity and tension"

Think you're "not good" at conversation? 4 findings from psychology studies you should know about:
1. "liking gap" illusion: most people are liked more than they know

If you're talking to someone who is loud, interrupts you, and never asks you questions - are they the asshole?
Not necessarily. They were likely raised in an "interrupt" and "declarative" linguistic culture.
Had a lot of fun researching and mapping different conversation styles for this article->
