So a serious switch that works analogous to our silly switch would function like this: As soon as you feel you're in an environment where people can keep up with you and where it's OK to be serious, you let yourself go and start discussing cubism, or postmodern theories, or "is imperialism dead?" or whatever it is that interests you. Correct?
