Yeah I pulled the “miner” example out of the blue while grasping at straws to try and formulate an example. I don’t really have enough knowledge on it to speak in an informed way.
I agree with your take though. And as an aside, I enjoy reading your thoughts on this site, because you not only challenge posters but provide solid insight. So I appreciate you taking the time to do both!
Thanks. Because I'm so argumentative, it can get really easy to view my relationship with the community here as mostly negative, so I really appreciate it
Nah I’m from the Midwest and a bit on the spectrum so my pet peeve is that no one is ever forthcoming, even when direct discussion is the best course of action. Literally dialectics ya know.
To digress a bit- The best public meeting I’ve held was with a local Indigenous nation in which the agency I worked for operated, but had apparently not held a meeting for longer than I’ve been alive. I lied and told “leadership” that the meeting would go well (I knew it wouldn’t but didn’t want them to cancel) and made sure they were in the room as I got yelled at for 3 hours. I didn’t take it personally because I agreed with all of their comments; but everyone who’d previously stuck their heads in the sand would now be unable to do so at least. People are afraid of confrontation and dialect, but it’s literally what moves society and builds community, even if it requires a more forward approach at times
