What shaila am i refusing to adk and where do i mention having a shaila but not asking?
You keep asking me to ask your question and complaining that im not asking it. Why don’t you ask your question?
Here’s a moshol about safety that i hope you will understand, or at least not butcher.
A 75 year old man is driving down a 35mph street at 20 miles an hour. His reflexes are slower than they used to be so 20 feels about as fast as 40 used to feel. A young kid zooms past him at 35 mph and the old man jolts, goes on high alert, and curses out the teen for recklessly speeding by.
The old man believes the teen was speeding recklessly. That was his perspective and you won’t change his mind. He will swear this teen whizzed past him, he felt the woosh, he saw the blur. And because he believes himself to be the baseline, that teen will forever remain reckless in his eyes.
I have good solid science telling me you (and yserbius) are that old man and i will forever remain, in your eyes, a reckless teen. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s just a pitfall of declaring yourself the baseline.
