An entry-point into thoughts about money

If you’re pointing out assumptions that are implicit and universally understood, as though the other party was either unaware of them or should have accounted for them, then you are attacking them. You, who accuse others of emotional tirades, should understand this, especially as I haven’t seen many personal remarks directed towards you.

This strikes me as a rather dishonest process. So, if it’s implicit and universally understood, I must be taking the piss to not assume it myself? Being too thick to understand, or deliberately iconoclastic for tedious personal reasons. Could it be the unthinkable? That it really isn’t universal? And so what if it was? It’s not like many apparently implicit truths haven’t been outgrown over time, despite the discouragement of people who felt invested in perpetuating them.
