~ Wouldn’t it be cool if people understood that their opinions were not facts? What a cornerstone for relationship and conversation that would be! Discussions would begin with, “In my opinion,” or, “As I see it,” and a speaker might add, “That’s what I think, anyway. What’s your take?” Sounds like a dream.

~ Dear Don Boivin you have publicly identified & specified in the default (is that the ineluctably trending political class and global Ruling-caste navigational quantified fake maths pseudo-sophisticated ideologically sound terminology?) a critical part of my own Human-discourse studies: a vastly more authoritarian society where the younger, less able & facile, more vulnerable, more commonly female MEDIA interlocutor or interviewee in far greater FEAR of vindictive elders and the more Politically-powerful than ever in the last say 82 years in both the western & ‘soviet’ quadrispheres ever introduce their statements with the tentative impersonal & unselfconfident ‘Right- or reflective ‘brained’ “So..,” (‘∴’) and like 100s of millions of socially conformist and obedient (commonly fiscally insecure under 50 ‘aspirationals’ with troubling debt) manically if not wildly over-use the demonstrative performative adverb ‘Absolutely‘ some 50 per cent of the time actually meaning its antonym* ‘relatively.’

Many thanks for your contribution and thank you in anticipation for reading my un-stuff❗️
