Random thought on metaphor: in engineering, your "argument" is always grounded in a structure "beneath" your construction: the UI is grounded in code, which is grounded in the OS, which is grounded in the processor's logic, which is grounded in circuitry and ultimately physics.

"Uber proposes policy that would pay drivers a minimum wage of $21 per hour" Like clockwork. They are slowly setting up a heavily regulated environment that only they will be able to afford.

A lot of the time I just laugh it off, but I worry that not being on the same wavelength could leave me with a lack of feedback on my beliefs. (And how do we truly know if we're being understood or not.)

A common experience nowadays is carefully thinking of a response to something somebody says only for them to respond to me as if what I said was extremely superficial and missing what I felt was the point.
