#but my brain made the connection to Talmudic discourse vibes and i like that explanation better lol

[agam-shel-barvadim]

just saw a (non i/p related, for once) poll that made me go:

it's complicated. how complicated? well, most people have one definition for the term used in the question, i could give 3 different definitions, all of which i feel very uncomfortable with, and for each one, my answer would change. and actually, it's not just three definitions but rather three binary factors from which i can construct the definition. but the third one is unlikely to have the positive option (or at least so i'd like to think). so this leaves us with 4 likely definitions, two of which get the same answer, and then the other two get a different answer each (which is also different from the first one). most people would go with the definition where all three factors are negative, but this definition fails to consider nuance in my personal experience. then it made me think, all of this is just when im considering myself, would these three factors necessarily suffice for defining the question for every individual? and the answer was obviously no so clearly a better definition is required...

is. is this the secular version of Talmudic discourse. did i just made a Talmudic discourse in my own brain over a tumblr poll. help

edit: i just re-read this and it makes zero sense by how much i tried to stay safe and not reveal information, woops
