Why is it so unusual?
I've always made a STRONG POINT of paying attention to actions, not words.
This is EXTREMELY UNORIGINAL. Actions speak louder than words is an extremely old and well-known proverb, with equivalents in all cultures.
My version is stricter: Actions speak. Words destroy your brain.
Even though it's a universal piece of wisdom, you never hear it in media or schools. All conversations on all topics, from official to "independent" to "alt", are solely focused on words and theories and ideologies and "laws" and "constitutions", paying NO attention at all to actions or intentions.
Most discussions aren't even about allegedly purposeful words. We're just arguing about words that some famous asshole said in response to some other famous asshole, or worst of all, words that some famous asshole didn't say in response to what some other famous asshole didn't say.
How did we depart so far from universal solid OLD wisdom and knowledge?
