why would you be afraid of me?
no, of the idea that what you think yuou know is only partly correct.
that some of the stuff was mistranslated, and that cascades the interpretations of things to be partly false.
why would you be afraid of me, I give out conjectures and say 'this is a fake story for humor'. and usually if I don't post that and it's ironicly interpreted, and someone accuses me of somekind of intollerence I remind them about 'humor, satire, and parody' oh my.
Did you know that the stories of the Maya as 'peaceful' until the Aztec were debunked upon the translation of the Myan codeces?
and so I say: who else in anthropology and linquistics were frauds?
or, a story that young girls told an anthropologist, which they made up, were written about extensively as if it were true and
'the way' that Polonesians 'are', which is easy to see is not true.
and that often linquists will miss obvious jokes in their translations when the much smarter than them elders of a group would , what is technically called 'put them on'.
It's like a constant running gag through out linquistics and anthropology. The ones 'under study' make fun of those who persume to study them by making up bullshit and seeing how far the accademic will carry it forward.
anyway, you shouldn't have fear.
if you seek truth you have good in you.
my humor shouldn't be frightening to you.
of course you should not be scared of me, I may be a blowtard who has a strong capacity to gap, but I heel when barked at for good cause.
I don't want you to feel hurt.
your whole accademic career can't really be fraud, can it? (now this is me being jerky to you for thinking I'd harm you).
be well
