You are thrown off because I tried to make positive statement and everything is interpreted as normative in the internet.
positive vs. normative statements.
positive: opinion about what is, the state of the world.
normative: what ought to be. a value judgment.
- stanrivers 5y agoFair enough, it was an interesting comment the way I read it though; makes me think about all the things I complain about where I am complaining about “the rules of the game” - like in a job or something. I picked to play that game, if the rules are whatever playing that game are using, then if I am frustrated by the rules, am I not the one who should look in the mirror and say “hmm, maybe I shouldn’t play this specific game”
