I'm happy to discuss. But it feels like the quotes denote a subtext. Is there something in particular on your mind?

Oh, no subtext. Just wondering how far have you managed to take this approach and have it work. The quotes were because I was quoting.

Wondering because it seems to me listening and being respectful only works for bridging relatively small "unlike" gaps.

What you're pointing out is not about size of gap so much as power gradient direction (uphill or downhill relative to local 'normal human')

As I see it, "power gradient" is just another kind of "gap". If you have more power than me, then you are "unlike me" in that respect.

Semantics perhaps, but it seems like a qualitatively different attribute of a gap than other aspects

all the usual basic social identity ones: race, gender, age, sexual identity, ethnicity, language, physical appearance...

power distance is usually a function of all those things and the context of the interaction rather than a fundamental variable

I agree in theory. In practice, the power of eg a wealthy white anglo man in the US applies in 99% contexts => de-facto fundamental variable

I don't think you're following me. I am making a mathematical point rather than a political one. Not important though.
