This seems to imply that you think the current amount of “social capital” that people are being “awarded” is inaccurate (in the sense of being incommensurate with their achievements, or… something like that?). Is this, indeed, what you meant?
This is the “what are you saying” part. I directly answered this: yes, I’m saying that social capital awards are horribly miscalibrated.
And if so, on what do you base this?
This isn’t a “what are you saying” question, and is the thing I was addressing when I said I didn’t want to engage.
I… wasn’t responding to your comment, with any of that.
I mean, I (a) posted in reply to Hypothesis, not to you, and (b) made it clear in the first line of my reply that it was a general comment, riffing off what he said, not something specific to what’s being discussed here.
I didn’t think I needed more specific disclaimers than that? It seems like you’re taking my comments personally, when they’re not intended that way at all; I’m not sure why that is.
Uh, what?
