You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I wonder how long ago the whole "cat" meme started

Y'know, if I know a person very well, then the correct answer to the question "have I heard of that person?" is "yes".
It is not "no". It is also not "actually, I know that person very well".
For you, the most relevant response, most likely, is "actually, I know that person very well". But that doesn't make it the correct response. It also doesn't make it the response that I'll give, especially if I'm trying to NOT tell you anything.
Furthermore, said person will indeed show up if you ask me to make a list of all the persons I have heard of, within a set of persons that includes said person. You will see:
List of persons I have heard of from said set: * name * name * said person's name * name * name
You will NOT see any further elaboration on HOW WELL I have "heard of" said person, UNLESS you bother to ask me, or I really feel like telling you.
Now if I know WHY you're asking that question, and I actually want to be helpful based on that reason, then yeah, I'll let you know immediately,
Incidentally probably also why I put a lot of (too much?) effort into speaking precisely -- because I've been burned by imprecise language in the past and I can see right through many of the the different possible ways to misinterpret myself.
It seems that, like the classic (inequality) Kuznets curve and the environmental Kuznets curve, there is something about cultural assimilation that suggests that it follows a similar pattern:
Basically, the pattern of "it gets worse before it gets better".
Cultural assimilation/adoption happens when a country tries to "join" the world socially and economically. It proceeds until there is a sufficient amount of integration (and economic development) such that people start to realize, "wait, there's something about ourselves that we want to keep unique".
Basically, we will want to "be like them" until we realize the value of "being ourselves".
I wonder if social integration happens in a similar way on a smaller scale. Such as a new person entering a social group (e.g. a school club).
I WANT to break down the whole notion of a scholarly elite or an "ivory tower". I WANT scholarly discourse to become mixed into normal discourse. Scholarly discourse deals with real-life issues -- so there's no reason that it should be shunted to the side and treated as "something that only those weirdos with funny robes and lots of books do".
We do ourselves a disservice to presume that certain topics or ways of discussing things are off-limits for ourselves.

i don't think maintaining a distinction between scholarly discourse and everyday conversation is the reason for avoiding touchy subjects.
Most people prefer to avoid them because they make people angry or upset, not because they're erudite or whatever.
God I hate being outside, where there is lots of people. I especially dislikes when they are loud and intrude my personal space. I wonder if I have a problem...
If a topic feels difficult to talk about, then it is the fault of the people who find it difficult, not the fault of the topic itself.
False dichotomy, imo.
i don't like when you blame people for their feelings.
i do this to myself, admittedly, but it's not reasonable or kind to treat other people that way.
I wouldn't call it "blaming".
Just because something exists does not mean that it should be attributed to someone's motive.
One cannot blame a medical allergy on a person based on 'eir will. One can, however, investigate how said person's immune system works, to potentially find out what goes wrong.

Misfelinity?
'Misanthropy' is already mixing Greek and Germanic roots of course.

so now i have documentation that my government deceived itself and did something called "rectal rehydration"

Unless one can convincingly argue that social harm is done by doing so.
Oh, it's Manabi Straight.
Though at least I did acquire (officially) the album this year.

No, that is not a good reason to avoid talking about them. It's a good reason to talk about them more openly.

Because it is probably my fault first unless I'm sure it isn't.
i think it's a residue of the 'internet tough guy' mentality that i unwittingly allowed to influence my self-perception
