  • I think scale matters. A year is quite a lot longer than a week or two. It’s easy to consider both the next Thursday you’re going to encounter and the one after that as subjectively “soon”. The same can not be said of a month at least nine months away.

    I would agree that your ruleset works on a longer timescale, but not on a shorter one. There’s too much ambiguity and crossover for it to work properly. Having exclusivity in definition allows for better communication, especially for something much more personal like something sooner rather than later.


  • Its hard to imagine what life would be like if I had something different for breakfast. That doesn’t mean my life would be measurable different.

    I think it’s possible that things wouldn’t have gotten as bad as fast. But just as easily the people behind the asshole could have found someone just as able to enact their selfish desires. Potentially someone who is even better at it, considering how much flailing Trump has done since taking office either time.
