Silly Goose Behavior 24/7

The closer a language is to yours, the easier it is to understand, the further it is from you, the harder it is to understand. But there’s a sort of uncanny valley right in the middle that makes a language sound silly.

I’m an English speaker. German sounds similar, I can even find cognates sometimes. Mandarin Chinese sounds completely alien, but I can understand that it is a language.

But Dutch, Dutch sounds hilarious. Dutch sounds like a clown version of English. I wonder why that is.

I’ve heard Spanish speakers say similar things about Portuguese, which makes me think there’s some sort of linguistic Silly Zone.

I keep thinking about a post I saw the other day, and likely won’t be able to find again, which proposed as a response to “you’ll be fine if you have nothing to hide” the phrase:

“ I have nothing to hide, but I don’t trust your intentions and judgement”

Was it this one?

“I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgment and intentions are.”

meet a really hot woman at the club

We hit it off, go back to her place

“Let me slip into something more comfortable”

Jackpot

she takes her shirt off and tosses it at me playfully

I put it on over my shirt

I Leave and never come back

Another free shirt, that’s hustle culture baby

It’s very possible that the only way to ensure you don’t become a conservative old person is to keep checking whether you’re wrong. Every time. Genuinely mull over the opposing viewpoint even and especially when it’s uncomfortable. You absolutely cannot a) consider yourself safely incapable of terrible principles because you’re a good person, or b) treat a your disgust reaction to something as a moral truth. You can’t get comfortable. Tiring! But you’d rather be tired and choose the right path, you know?
