Questions: Society & Politics

My definition of poor is probably pretty extreme. It's having a genuine chance of dying due to lack of food, water, clothing, shelter.

If I don't think there's a chance of me dying, and I'm not in a state of physically suffering due to lack of resources, then I don't feel that poor. So, I could be happy in a tent, slum, or dirt floor hut if I had enough resources to not suffer.

So, what does poor mean to you? What would make you feel poor?

I’m trying to think of a neutral example but it’s difficult and I don’t want the example itself to bias people.

My concern is the post will devolve into conflict- resolution for the example and stray away from the objective which is _how to detect when people are feigning confusion_.

So I do not think I’m going to provide an example. I may add one later if one comes to mind that I think may be useful. If anyone wants to create hypothetical to convey the problem that is welcome 🤗

I WOULD put this in a ‘psychology’ section IF we had one but we do not so I am putting it in Society & Politics bc

1) communicational conundrums are at the core social issues that do not apply to one specific gender.

2) while not primarily a political question, feigning confusion can absolutely apply in political situations, esp considering politics in the current climate is 99% gas lighting.

But all in all I’d prefer if we had a psychology section. 👍🏼
