why is it that when I ask a question that clearly operates on an underlying premise or piece of knowledge, the immediate response from the other person is to tell me that prior information that’s driving my question, as if my understanding of that fact isn’t already implied by the existence of my question and thus can be reasonably assumed by the other person?Like do people think questions just pop into people’s heads out of nothing?
>>34095750>e do people think questions just pop into people’s heads out of nothing?Your average normie, the everyday people you come into contact with, are barely sentient. Their thoughts are no deeper than pond scum or the wrapping on a piece of candy. Their intellectual process is absolutely what is directly in front of them and their minds are only able to thing about that one thing. The average modern-day human being's brain isn't much different than a dog's.
You're autistic
>>34095750>the immediate response from the other person is to tell me that prior information that’s driving my questiondude you're lucky to get more than a "huh?" ime but i do the same thing and also am often disappointed by the results i hate having to be around retards, it can't have a positive effect on a person
>>34095750I assume you're referring to people online - they have no context, no nothing prior to your question. And if you ever dealt with costumers in costumer service you'll know that people can surprise you with just how stupid they can be. So in the name of being complete, and making sure that you understand everything, they tell you that prior information, assuming about you that you don't know it Either that, or they don't care about you / the question too much and they just want to type something, so instead of being helpful they just type what comes to mind which is usually during the "ah, gotcha!" moment >>34096038Also seconding this guy, you're autistic
>>34095750Because they're questioning your premise. If you say to me "Have you stopped being a serial killer?" it's necessary for me to say "That question implies that I was a serial killer at some time in the past - and since I wasn't, I can't give you a yes or no answer." Your assumption is obvious; but it may be wrong.
