Very interesting. This relatively simple process explains so much of the issues with communications. Context of laundry might make the message clear but when the context is presented as AI, capitalism or socialism the meaning is created from the perceived context which might be widely divergent from the meaning of the sender. Much of the conversation then goes past each other.
Good point, Rich. I think we underestimate how different minds process context. When explanations don't work, it can lead to confusion and assumptions about intelligence, bias, or capability. I suspect that sometimes, the source of the problem is differing versions of how the individual perceives and reacts to context.
