I have paintings hanging in my house, in rooms that literally nobody will ever see. But I enjoy having them there. Is that practical? No. Is it signaling? Also no. But I enjoy them for whatever inexplicable reason.
Not everybody chooses what they wear with other people's opinions in mind. Some people might find this incomprehensible, but I'm not sure how to convince them otherwise.
- lovemenot 6y agoNow that you've told us all, job done! Sorry, I couldn't resist. In fact I admire and agree with what you said.
- elhudy 6y agoYes, I will go take them down now :)
- bbarnett 6y agoThen you are left as I am, a house with no paintings, posters, wall decorations of any kind! All such things are clutter to me, and in fact, I even reject re-painting the walls. I fear that I will notice the room is smaller, after that coating of paint. I'm worried that now I'm signalling, that I'm not signalling, which is signalling now. Maybe. So I support you, fellow non-signalling, and non-non-signalling kin! Yes, you can have paintings, just because you like them. (Please don't tell me that I'm signalling by non-non-signalling!)
- Talanes 6y agoA signal does not require conscious intent. What you choose to wear says something about you whether you intend to or not.
