"intellectually lazy" is the correct term, even a bit polite. The idea behind this discussion is to look at why people are poor and to find ways - real, concrete, actionable ways - to improve the situation for the poor. Judgements based on personal experience do not fit within this discussion because they are entirely beside the point.
- zo1 12y ago>"Judgements like 'well I was poor and now I'm rich - your story is fake' do not fit within this discussion because they are entirely beside the point." That's obviously not what he is saying. Your doing way more than paraphrasing with that one.
- intopieces 12y agoI agree with you, so I changed it. I mischaracterized the person's comment. It was flippant and detracted from the point I was making.
