A wallet is reported 'stolen' in an office. Suddenly everyone is suspicious of each other. Every item formerly lost is now suspected to be stolen. You get your own wallet stolen. A month later when re-arranging your desk you find your wallet between the desk and the wall. You feel sheepish for your loud crowing about your wallet being stolen and how you too were a crime victim. You sheepishly keep quiet. Humans just act this way. The idea of what is 'a sane reasonable assumption' depends on a lot of things - information that one may or may not be processing in a completely rational manner.
From your response I can already feel what your response is going to be and I want to say I am not disagreeing with you I just think it's interesting how group think works - I myself am not immune.
- HopenHeyHi 4y agoI, happily, don't live in SF. Every single time I go there it seems to get worse and my personal anecdotal experience is really bad but I don't have a dog in this fight. I think it is important to communicate about these things clearly and fix problems instead of bickering. It is alarming to me (as a not American btw) that everything gets so politicized to the point that base reality cannot be agreed on. Crime in SF should not be some democrats vs republicans or philosophical outlook thing, it should just be a local issue. Your explanation about his behavior is quite plausibly also sane and rational. I believe you believe that and see how you can think that. I just hope you can afford him the same benefit of the doubt I am affording you so you can talk it out without games, that is all I am saying.
