That’s an interesting fact I didn’t know before that makes sense in retrospect. I wish you hadn’t phrased it snarkily tho: is it really “sad” that someone does

That’s an interesting fact I didn’t know before that makes sense in retrospect.
I wish you hadn’t phrased it snarkily tho: is it really “sad” that someone doesn’t know an interesting fact that you do, or is it a fun opportunity for others to learn something?
- antonvs 3y agoThe author took a position on the name’s newness, which implies he did some research. Blog authors like this remind me of ChatGPT: they write with an affected authoritativeness completely disconnected from the actual value of their words. This gains them a following in the same sort of way that Donald Trump, Joe Rogan, or Jordan Peterson gain a following. That’s also sad to see.
- Smaug123 3y agoFWIW I didn't read snark. I read "I am sad to see…", much as I might be sad to see the history of any other ancient thing forgotten.
- antonvs 3y agoA little bit of both, really. But thanks for the charitable reading.
