What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence?
Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter. I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

You guys should try having kids. You’ll learn to fall asleep within moments.

Miracle cure, I tell ya.




I agree that the goal would be for perception to match intent. But the acknowledgement that in order to do so we must iterate on a poor first communication highlights the fact that the perception is the important aspect as intent is static and unchanged by further iteration.

If perception wasn’t at least as important as intent, then you could make a well intentioned communication and not worry if it was received correctly.

I did write some more but managed to fat-finger delete it and now I can’t remember what I was trying to say. I’m hoping my point has still come across clearly? Sorry!



Yes, it is condescending as you belittle the ‘brain’ role for the aforementioned jobs in retail, hospitality, healthcare, etcetera.


See, I don’t disagree with that - because that shifts the statement to be ‘encoder and decoder share responsibility for intention and perception’ - which is more reasonable, but does not marry up with your original statement of intention all the way.


It doesn’t, it’s just a commentary on intention not being worth anything without a good result.







I’m not sure you could be more condescending if you tried.


With this argument it puts the burden of understanding on the listener. That’s like saying it’s little kids fault for not understanding the teacher.


So does English - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
