most people read this and imply the converse.
I am not responsible for strangers on the internet reading my comments and twisting them to mean something I did not intend at all. I have been online long enough to know that it is not possible to open my mouth online at all without someone, somewhere wildly misinterpreting my words and having zero desire to make a good faith effort to actually understand my point. I do my best to frame things carefully, but, to some extent, I have simply had to make my peace with the fact that people are gonna people and there is nothing I can do about that.
- deepGem 9y agoYes, you mean well and I don't mean to imply that people are misinterpreting your words. People understand things differently. They read correlation and imply the converse. I have done it so many times. Another analogy - Alan Turing was a great computer scientist, he was also a long distance runner. The thought process in my head after reading that sentence, "To be a great computer scientist it's good to start long distance running". This is because I like running and my brain perceives it as the path of least resistance to achieve mastery over a subject.
