“Every time someone says ‘Can you hear me?’
hit record on your phone—
and pretend you’re shooting a Reel.”
In a world awash with Reels, Shorts, and TikToks, every conversation is a potential 15‑second blockbuster. The Sage suggests treating it like one: the next time someone asks, “Can you hear me?”, glance at your phone, finger hovering over the record button, and channel your inner influencer.
You may not post it. You likely won’t go viral. But you’ll walk away with undeniable confidence—and the subtle knowledge that you could blow up if you wanted. Maybe just idle threats, like shaking a stick in a puddle.
This theatre of readiness doesn’t solve the echo in Zoom calls. But it does add a layer of absurdity to modern meetings—and who doesn’t need that?
