There supposedly exists an ideal human, one whom every demagogue on the internet imagines must exist anytime any of a number of subjects is talked about. This ideal human: - Reads every terms and conditions agreement, and understands it, for every service they intend to use -- online and in meatspace -- or chooses not to use that service; - Never drives even a couple of miles an hour over the speed limit or commits any of a number of other minor traffic infractions for which 90% of drivers swear they are never guilty; - Has taken the time to educate themselves about the various backup strategies available and has selected the correct one for their needs (and read the T&C for it); - Is aware of every applicable law in their local municipality and follows it to the letter; - Is always on time; - Always follows the latest health guidelines for sleep, exercise, and diet, no matter how many times those things change; - Has taken the time to understand password security and follows all of the current recommended best practices (and has read the T&C for all the software they use for it); - Always keeps their system and application software exactly up-to-date (always ensuring there is a viable backup first, of course, and restoring that backup as a test, of course, before proceeding with the update); - Monitors their credit score and carefully follows sound financial planning advice and all applicable tax laws; - Has learned nearly everything there is to know about their particular vehicle so that they can't be taken advantage of by shady mechanics; - Always uses whatever pronoun is appropriate for the individual they're addressing. I have never met this person, but they must exist, because if they didn't, people would start behaving as though all of these expectations, altogether, are totally unreasonable. I kind of wish this person didn't exist, so we could stop talking about them and instead start talking more honestly about some of the challenges our society faces.
