It’s not like that. It’s too bad we can’t see each other’s faces and hear inflection. Like I said above, there’s a sociological method that speaks in this kind of macro language. Also, I think the general language could also come from Jung—who speaks of a collective consciousness. You’d have to ask him, but I’m not hearing any kind of patronizing tone, just a disciplined method.
There was no patronizing tone in this particular, but there was contempt (I can point it out if necessary) I can understand & share contempt for dictators, terrorists, hypocrites, etc. but not for collective swaths of humanity.
As for sociological methods speaking a macro language, that’s not good enough here. Researchok may be a behaviorist, but he’s not speaking to a group of professional peers. You don’t go to a forum filled with numerous types of people with differing professional backgrounds and varying levels of education & experience and expect them to understand your special “macro language”, at least not unless you purposely want to be misunderstood.
I’ve seen people here pounce on the tiniest misstatement and/or insist on clarification when something is unclear. It has happened to me, so now instead of using words or phrases that have in the past been unclear, I’m now make a point of being being as specific as possible, even if it means being annoyingly verbose.
I agree with you about inflection & facial expressions. I have listened to researchok talk in interviews with his friend Fausta & others.
