No offense, but what your mother shares does not determine what is a very real impact. Also, whether something is shared does not mean it is impactful.

- kbenson 8y ago> whether something is shared does not mean it is impactful Actually, I think whether something is shared and how prevalent that sharing is among the populace is a better indication of impact than many others. For example, one (fairly binary) way of measuring individual impact might be whether it's viewed as worth spreading to other people. Things not worth sharing may or may not be impactful, but things worth sharing almost definitely are. Scaled up, if a high enough percentage of people in a group view something as worth sharing, then it is impactful.
- kodablah 8y ago> Scaled up, if a high enough percentage of people in a group view something as worth sharing, then it is impactful. Disagree, but impactful can be seen as an overloaded term. We need to accept in modern situations that the ease of sharing something might be more of a reason it is shared than whether the sharer/recipient is impacted by it. Or there might be many other reasons. The important thing is accepting that we don't know what is impactful and not running to the heavy-hand of the law/censors assuming we do.
