- hotpotamus 5y agoI just like the phrase. Tyranny probably brings along a bad assumption, but it really just means that most people will stick with the default. It's something I learned independently, though it had been realized many times before I did. I'm also happy with the outcome in this case.
- travisporter 5y agoTyranny definitely has a negative connotation
- hotpotamus 5y agoI agree, but default connotes that you are able to change it. Maybe it's that sort of built in contradiction that appeals to me.
