Ok, so now I'm not just patronizing, I'm lazy and self serving. Trying to understand your post, the best I could make out, is that 'I shouldn't use these experiments as a justification to not spread my own good ideas or spread the good ideas of other people... or 'you in the general sense' to mean other people spreading other peoples ideas'. Is this correct? Like, is this the basis for your rebuttal? If not, what is? I'm trying to un package your point, which seems muddled. BTW, you didn't imply, you said it directly: > your brilliant ideas > didn't mean to imply the ideas are specifically yours That type of conversation reminds me of a narcissist boss I had. Whenever he was in the wrong, he couldn't admit he was wrong. So when in such a position (we all are there sometimes), he would explain that 'he never meant to imply what he said, he meant what everyone else was saying that was the contrary of what his words meant by a dictionary definition' It was a mind trip dealing with him and his mental gymnastics.

The generic "you" is a real thing [1]. I've tried to clarify this because my stated intention is to attack the "biological" explanation as patronizing, lazy, and self-serving, not you as a whole person. I can't stop you from taking things all of my words personally, I can only offer more words to say that I was speaking in a non-targeted way. I don't think it's helpful for us to continue without agreeing on this. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_you
