They think urban intellectuals have a fair bit of power. And the basis for that power is that they are supposedly right about things.

- Eisenstein 1y agoIs it possible to not speak in riddles please?
- ben_w 1y agoI am confused why you see that as a riddle. Group X does action A_x due to belief B_x. That B_x isn't logical or whatever doesn't matter. Members of group X generally don't know that group X is wrong, and instead think their own biases are common sense etc. People are not perfectly rational spheres in a vacuum. That you can substitute in a lot of different values for X, doesn't change any of this.
- Eisenstein 1y agoNothing they commented mentions any of the processes you did. A statement in which people need to figure out the specifics in order to make an interpretation is generally thought of as a riddle.
