"A rich kid is much more likely to leave an impact on the world"
I quoted this as a neutral fact. That things might or could be better otherwise is a total different question.
- yTh0 6y agoQualify it as such in the original post. Some search engine can come along in N days, weeks, months, and provide that snippet out of the context you intended. Social media is not a friends backyard fire pit. The information peddled here isn’t necessarily lost to memory the next day. I don’t know you so none of this should be considered a personal attack. I’m just taking information and expanding on it.
- pacman2 6y ago"Qualify it as such in the original post." It is unfortunate that people seem not to be able to distinguish between a neutral fact and an endorsement. Just recently I posted something I consider a fact and since I was afraid if could be controversial, added that this is not meant in a judgmental way. The bulletin board owner took this to a meta level and argued that it was exactly this add-on that showed that it was meant in a judgmental way and banned me.
- yTh0 6y agoIt’s been shown that words mean different things given geographical region. One brain is not composed of the same experiential model, and as a result, neurological model, as others. Physics > chemistry -> biology -> humans -> metaphor and analogy. Kind of my mental road map for information hierarchy. If it’s not physically quantifiable it probably falls into some category like “relative metaphor and analogy”.
- tarboreus 6y agoThis seems unnecessary, since it's obvious from context. Endless caveats are death in writing and readability. We have modal verbs like "should" for a reason, and OP chose not to use them, making the communication clear.
