- kragen 7y agoPlease atone by responding to it with a thoughtful critique of my outline of the incentive structures of the different actors in the situation, or of my presentation thereof, even if you don't normally do such things. I know that's hard work, and you may doubt you can do it, but I have faith in you.
- craftinator 7y agoRead the names of the actors in your dialog. I'm less concerned with the incentive structure that you outline, and more concerned with the implicit negative bias you assign to them all and how that changes the narrative. Let's have a look: IDIOT ANCHORPERSON COVERED IN MAKEUP LOSER IN A SUIT WIFE-BEATER IN A MUSTACHE PANCAKE-THICK MAKEUP FACE How is it that you planned to construct a useful dialogical analogy with such disparaging character names. It seems you are less interested in illustrating incentive structures than you are in shaming fictional characters. This is why I recommended therapy.
