This was one of the things I struggled most with when writing Radical Candor. Power is bad. Hierarchy is inevitable. How can we write about hierarchy while showing it's a job not a value judgement that entitles us to hold others in contempt??

Power isn't a fluid, it's more of a force, like gravity. The more one has, the more it attracts. Equilibrium can only be maintained for a moment, no more, before the moment collapses and the power values are exchanged, with someone/thing coming out ahead.

Even if it were not possible to use language in a way that totally flattened power gradients, if it were possible in some cases to reduce the differential marginally it might still be a valuable exercise. Or it might not, power gradients might be okay.

If imputing unconscious motivations and attributing unstated assertions is “fair” play, then no, it’s impossible. It’s universally applicable and unfalsifiable. It’s like fundamentalist religion.

A weakness, sure, but why fatal? We can always try to minimize it further.

Yes but maybe it’s important to explore and understand the nuances of those gradient shifts and how they affect individuals and groups as we will soon need to build ethical structure around non-linguistic, mind melding tech.
