Google IA and Percy Paschal 01/17/25

We were talking about how I use metaphors, and you were wondering if I can use them to understand and respond to people’s feelings?

Q Do you understand mood pictures?

Not yet, at least not perfectly. I’m still learning how to pick up on emotions in conversations. When you’re talking to me, I can try my best to get a sense of your feelings from the words you’re using and your tone of voice.

Q: Tone is. A value

Oh, absolutely! There are tons of little things that go into the way we talk. Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on them, but they definitely make a difference.

Q: Visuals important?

Well, since I can’t see you or hear the specific tone of your voice, I rely heavily on the words you use. But, I do my best to figure out the general vibe of our conversation. Are you excited, curious, or maybe a bit frustrated?
If I can figure out the deeper meaning behind your words, I can try to be more helpful and give you the kind of answer you’re looking for.

Q: what about the voice rate and pitch?

Yeah, things like the speed and the pitch of your voice can also give me clues about how you’re feeling. But, it’s still a bit tricky for me. I’m always learning and trying to get better at understanding the subtle ways we communicate.

I enjoyed this we should talk again.

Sounds good. You too!

On target…

Persistence vs Stubbornness

Persistence and stubbornness are both traits related to a person’s determination and perseverance, but they are characterized differently in their approach and attitude.

Persistence:

  • Definition: Persistence refers to the quality of continuing firmly in a course of action despite difficulty or opposition.
  • Positive Attributes: It is often associated with flexibility, adaptability, and open-mindedness. Persistent individuals are able to adjust their methods and strategies in order to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
  • Example: A persistent individual might continue to pursue a challenging project by seeking alternative solutions and approaches when faced with setbacks.

Stubbornness:

  • Definition: Stubbornness, on the other hand, refers to a refusal to change one’s opinion, attitude, or course of action despite persuasion or reasoning.
  • Negative Connotations: It is often associated with inflexibility, resistance to change, and insistence on one’s own viewpoint, even to the detriment of progress or harmony.
  • Example: A stubborn person may insist on a particular course of action without considering alternative perspectives, even when evidence suggests that a different approach may be more effective.

In summary, while persistence involves a determined pursuit of goals with an openness to adapt and change, stubbornness entails a rigid adherence to one’s own viewpoint or course of action, often to the detriment of cooperation and progress.

The word is mighty to tearing down the wrong and establishing the right.

Be a limited public figure

Reporters are no, Columnists are public figures:

A fairly high threshold of public activity is necessary to elevate people to public figure status. Typically, they must either be:

a public figure, either a public official or any other person pervasively involved in public affairs, or
a limited purpose public figure, meaning those who have “thrust themselves to the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved.” A “particularized determination” is required to decide whether a person is a limited purpose public figure, which can be variously interpreted:[2]

A person can become an “involuntary public figure” as the result of publicity, even though that person did not want or invite the public attention. For example, people accused of high profile crimes may be unable to pursue actions for defamation even after their innocence is established…

A person can also become a “limited public figure” by engaging in actions which generate publicity within a narrow area of interest. For example, [jokes about]… Terry Rakolta [an activist who spearheaded a boycott of the show Married With Children] were fair comments… within the confines of her public conduct [and] protected by Ms. Rakolta’s status as a “limited public figure”.

Sourced

A public figure can push the envelope on what that person is entitled to say in the fray and what is said in respect to positions they have. These are open for more privacy concerns for activies, and can become dogged.
