When I have an active conda environment and I enter pip I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried removing anaconda with rm -rf ~/anaconda3 and reinstalling it but in the fresh base environment I get the same error. The system pip outside of the anaconda environment seems to work normally. What might be the problem here?

I don't know how to fix this, but does not `conda install something` work?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
