The question is more "what if you could talk as fast as you think?"

French stand-up artist Pierre Desproges once said "one can laugh about anything, but not with everyone."

It's the same with radical honesty. I've been able to enjoy "radically honest" types of friendships. It works, it really does, it's on a different level of enlightenment from any other kind of relationship, until someone simply refuses to communicate anymore for some reason.

It's one of those things you find out of sheer luck, and when you do, you'd better milk it for all its worth while it lasts. The closest description would be that of a jazz band improvization ("boeuf") turning music into something else entirely.
