This is the hallmark of cult (or any organized religion's) literature. Also how therapists operate. Be vague, and let your customers project the meanings onto your words that they most want to hear.
If you actually gave people answers, their quest for meaning would be complete and they wont come back next week. You lose engagement.
- deno 8y agoHow do you manage to put the blame on the person cited out of context instead of on the journalists, whose job it actually was to verify such things? I don’t know the exact context for the original statement, but the linked explanation video[1], which is only three minutes long, is very straightforward and exhaustive, and not at all vague as you claim. Mostly it just irks me, as I have seen many people I respect given this treatment, but it has always been by the intellectually dishonest, including in fact in cult literature, with which I unfortunately have some personal experience. The fact that this is now the new norm in mainstream press is very concerning. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn60-8Ql_44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn60-8Ql_44
