lol, she's talking more object-level tho. like "this thing you did is a microaggression against me" mapping to "you did this thing to hurt me on purpose, which is now a grievance that means i get to control you"

i think the discourse definitely encompasses that, which would be the sturgeon's law bit i was talking about earlier, i just don't think the 10% doesn't exist

I strongly doubt it exists, but the important feature that makes me aggressively disregard the concept of micro-aggression is that it is impossible to disprove those 10%'s existence, making it like Russel's Teapot, or grandma's multiple peculiarly conflicted supernaturals

You can say that about Psi too, methinks. Even easier with Psi, I'd argue.

Psi is my "the Universe is not required to be consistent just because I think it is" exception. No test conducted by neutral observers has yet produced replicable and reliable evidence of Psi powers. I accept that. However, I don't accept that that means they don't exist.

I mean, call me Blaise if you must, but I have seen phenomena with my own eyes that I am satisfied cannot be explained by the laws of physics as we know them. I cannot replicate them. The most parsimonious explanation, of course, is that I am mistaken about what I saw.

the best crazy shit i've seen unfortunately has an obvious, if neurologically fascinating, parsimonious explanation (if you wake up suddenly enough during REM you will vividly hallucinate whatever you were looking at in your dream, briefly until your retinas adjust)

the psi-est thing is the time i was helping my ex-wife masturbate by pinching her nipples and i got so intensely focused on her that i picked up a grainy image of what she was fantasizing about
