2.257. Presumption and Understanding

There’s a service called Yoast Seo that bills itself as a bit of a marketability algorithm. It tells you all sorts of things about your posts that you are supposed to consider. It tells me, for example, that a post below 300 words is not going to draw much attention. There’s irony and confusion there, because a 140-280 character tweet draws a lot of attention. Different rules for different formats, I presume. Presumption is a strange bedfellow. It allows me to draw conclusions based largely on my perceptions of what I see, how I interpret the world, and what I do with those interpretations. Presumption has little to do with the party being presumed just as the interpretation of tweets and blogs have little to do with the person speaking.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Kids who are spoiled don’t know how to act.
  2. Kids who are spoiled act like they are supposed to get whatever they want when they want, cut to the front of every line, and have no internal capability of entertaining themselves.
  3. I presently have those kids.
