So, actually looking in my dead-tree kanji dictionary yielded a small table of the differences between 非…, 不…, 無…, and 未…: 非 negative judgement 不 negation of a state or action 無 negation of existence 未 negation of existence to date (=not yet) so I guess "unfortunate exit" is very parallel to "emergency exit" and my previous examples were more exceptional usages.

Dayum that sounds like a helpful dict. Other reasons for picking it? Edit: the gap seems smaller than I'd expect when one sorts them by usage? https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?word=%E9%9D%9E https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?wor... https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?word=不 https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?wor... On Dulles.. I like YC's very parallel usage of "asshole" here (helpful notation+ seems like they hired a cyborg (ofc) to do the translation?) https://coralcap.co/2022/02/why-japanese-startups-dont-apply-to-yc/ https://coralcap.co/2022/02/why-japanese-startups-dont-apply... ( in Dulles' intended context, both parties are (usually) assholes, and here, it takes some.. cycles .. to look out for the other ones :)

  The main reason for picking it was the stroke index, because I almost always had no clue about readings. A secondary reason is that it claims to be ordered more or less by usage, so we can also see what a ca. 1980s Gakken thought of relative frequency: 不 134 無 227 非 491 未 801

You could appreciate my throwing the recent-affairs sink here :) something like “Unitarian Universalist.” Is UUism a religion? Is it progressive? Is it woke? He didn't go all the way to "UwUism"; it could have helped clarify that he's still offering advice to Dems https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42722527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42722527 https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Yarvin&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
