Not kidding at all. Was my comparison with drug-speak not clear? Let me try again. Suppose I'm a nice girl. A guy just asked me if I was free to go to dinner tonight. I don't want to offend, so I say, "I'm sorry, I'm washing my hair tonight." The guy now has a conundrum. He can interpret the statement literally and ask if I'm free for dinner tomorrow night, or he can interpret it as that I do not want to eat dinner with him. Humans speak in codes and implications regularly. In Bannon's case, we must decide what interpretation of his thought is the most plausible cause of his speech. I can come up with two options: 1. Bannon believes there's something hindering the ethnic and cultural majority from technological entrepreneurialism and we should address that problem. 2. Bannon believes the number of ethnic minorities achieving economic success will decrease the prevalence of the historically common culture. Being of that culture, he dislikes this trend. Are there any other interpretations? What's the most plausible to you? |
