even literally is not literal anymore. I long to communicate, ideas as tools, not gods. I hear you: but it's a losing battle.
-
what can drift one way can drift another. are we not awash in the victory of battles everybody recently agreed were losing ones?

i wouldn't fight this battle. Personally. I hear you, and I even agree with you. But my goal is communication, not precision.
-
yeah, i know what you mean. i'm sure you can also easily see a dozen ways juxtaposing those will go horribly wrong, though.

there are a lot of situations where thinking you've communicated when you haven't communicated precisely is worse than silence.

oh i'm absolutely pedantic, it's okay
-
