The Hamlet Project

When he talks about Wagner, I get a little weak in the knees. It’s not that I particularly care for Wagner’s music, nor does he, it turns out, but he does know an awful lot about it and much of it flies over my head and somehow I love that. It’s totally sexy to hear someone talk very knowledgeably about something they know a whole lot about – even more so if I know nothing about it. Somehow – Jargon turns me on.
But maybe just artistic jargon. I’m not sure a hedge fund manager’s jargon would really do it for me. But a sailor’s jargon might or a chef talking about herbs. I think the jargon has to have an element of nerdy passion in it. If you were obsessed with fruit bats, I might want to hear you hold forth on them.
